FriendGiftr~ Give the Gift of a Gift Card

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of FriendGiftr. All opinions are 100% mine.
FriendGiftr is a service that allows users to send gift cards to friends, family, associates, etc for any occasion, from over 120 of your favorite retail stores and restaurants. You can choose to an actual gift card or a virtual digital gift card, and can choose denominations from $10-$100.


The best part is that if the recipient isn't crazy about the retailer you chose, they can exchange it at FriendGiftr for one they'd prefer! There is no additional charge to exchange it (and the giver never has to know- so no hurt feelings). They can also choose to break up the gift card across multiple merchants ($25 here, $50 there, shop around among the various stores and restaurants), so they aren't forced to use the entire gift card in one place, and can enjoy products and services from multiple places.

Gift cards are a great gift idea. When little man was born, I quickly discovered the value of a gift card- it became my favorite gift! It was nice when someone bought him a thoughtful gift, but if I got the wrong size, duplicates, something I didn't want, etc it created work for me to have to exchange the item (if I could- some stores wouldn't accept returns or exchanged), and was sometimes frustrating. When I received a gift card, I was able to decide what to buy, based on need, and it was fabulous.

As a result, I find myself giving gift cards as gifts now. In the past, when I've given a gift I thought was *fabulous*, only to have the recipient look not so excited (and I'd feel deflated), I would kind of wish I had given a gift card instead. Retailers included at FriendGiftr include Macy's, the Gap, Chili's, Barnes & Noble, H&M, bloomingdales, and much more. Considering my family's needs, and that of most families, a gift card to Macy's, which carries apparel for the whole family, make-up, housewares, accessories and shoes, furniture, and more would be incredibly useful to almost anyone, and allows the recipient to get exactly what they want. They may decide they just want to spend the money eating out somewhere they love, and use it at a restaurant. The point is, when you give a gift card acceptable at hundreds of retailers, you are making sure you always give a gift that is exactly what someone wants!

You can also use their service via their website, Facebook, iPhone, BlackBerry, or Android.
