Introducing Gift It – A Social Generosity App
A new Twitter follower I followed back, Gift It Philippines (@letsgift2gether), sent me their link to a free app that they followed a message, “Try our free app giftitapp.net if you want to offer or receive gifts with your friends and family. The largest online gift social network for merchants and charity foundations.” Curious, I clicked to the website.
There are two buttons at the eye-level page – Download App | Be A Gift It Partner.
The latter means if you are one of those organizations, e.g. non-profit, foundation, NGO, that accepts donations to provide social services to the needy. However, for us individuals and communities, downloading the app is the choice to go with.
“Gift it enables someone to launch personalized gift campaigns to fund any gift items from merchant shops or charity causes from foundation partners. Gift it makes celebration of any occasion fun, exciting and convenient.”
There are five services Gift It provides:
Personalized Campaigns is described as gathering your family and friends to chip in to a gift you want for yourself or others.
Secret Angels looks like donating to a charity program of your choice, whether you’re publicly know or secretly hidden.
Cash Back Points means every time you give, you earn gift points which you can convert back to cash for more gift-giving.
Gift Registry sounds like something you do for your wedding, and that’s exactly what it is regardless if your friend is getting wed or not.
Transparency allows you to monitor your gifts and payments through history logs, and comment on any campaign that interests you.
GiftIt writes that all its merchants and foundations are pre-screened for your security. It uses the verified “check” sign for “peace of mind.”
