On Facebook, you can now give real gifts

.
Most of the existing social networks allow users not only to communicate with each other, but also to give gifts. True, these are virtual gifts, but not real ones, but for many people such a gift is also a pleasant one - it’s a sign of attention, whatever you say. Gifts can be given, for example, in Vkontakte. Previously, virtual gifts could be given on Facebook. A couple of years ago, this service was closed, but the developers did not forget about the gifts. Now, a new service has appeared on Facebook that allows you to give each other very real gifts.

The service itself received the expected name " Facebook Gifts ". Gifts can be very different - to create this service, the social network has signed agreements with about a hundred partners. As a result, the list of gifts appeared interior, appliances, clothing, all sorts of goodies. There are gift certificates (for example, from Starbucks). There are hundreds and hundreds of items on the gift list, so there are plenty to choose from.

It is worth noting that the delivery address is chosen not by the sender of the gift, but by the recipient. After the sender chooses a gift as a sender, the recipient finds out about the gift from a notification on a mobile phone or in the social network itself. In addition, the recipient can choose some parameters for giving things, including color, taste, and some other elements. After confirmation, the recipient must enter the address to which the gift will be delivered. Delivery is carried out within a few days.

To purchase a gift, you need to specify your credit card information, which will be stored on the server of the social network in the future. There is nothing unusual here, but many probably will not like it.

At first, the gift service will work only within the United States. But soon all this will be available to users in other countries. Seias developers create an add-on for the mobile version of Facebook.
