Giftologia.com eliminates misunderstandings

Recently, I had a birthday and, along with good and necessary gifts, I once again received a whole heap of photo frames, shaving kits, incense sticks, plastic souvenirs. In other words, those things that are indecent to throw out (gifts all the same) and do not want to leave. As a rule, they lie on the mezzanine before the next general cleaning.

And then I wondered how this problem can be solved with the help of our non-commercial project giftologia.com , about which I have already written here and here .

Just in case, let me remind you that hyphology is a generator of gift ideas. Do not know what to give? Come on hyphology, choose someone to give and immediately get a lot of random ideas.

So, going back to the above problem - a bunch of unnecessary or identical gifts. We decided to solve it as follows - we created a section “ Hint to a friend ”, with which you can make a list of gifts that you really need, and then send this list to your friends.

Everything would be fine, but, unlike Western countries, it is not customary to hint about gifts, therefore, the idea is very controversial. In addition, the idea of ​​wish sheets has been on the Internet for a long time, therefore, we are far from being a discoverer in our service. However, we dare to try to change stereotypes over time, because it’s great to sit and choose gifts that you haven’t thought about before, but which you need so much.

For example, I clicked a couple of times and found a lot of useful things on the site - for example: a pocket phone muffler, a pen, a voice recorder, hiking utensils, a punching bag, a breathalyzer, a wireless mouse ... Agree, almost all of these things are within the amounts usually spent on gifts . And any of these things is useful, in contrast to the photo-albums, colognes and bottles of cognac that have already become odious.

It is also convenient for guests - they receive a link to the list of gifts via e-mail and can book any gift from your list, so other “donors” will find out that the gift is already taken and will not want to give the same thing.

So, at the technical level, the problem is solved, now it remains to popularize the idea. There is an opinion “it’s so nice to get a surprise,” but no one insists that guests give exactly what you hinted about, and those who want to make a surprise will definitely make it. However, those who have no time left to look for a gift will give you exactly what you need and make you happy !
