As Christmas or the New Year approaches all kids make wish lists so that they could get their desired presents. The idea of Wish List is not only limited to kids, people list down their preferences for different purposes, like weddings, birthdays, anniversaries, and several other occasions. They are then shared with their loved ones so that they know what to buy while purchasing a gift for a friend.
There are always doubts whether your friends will like the gift you have bought for them, or is it something that they need, or something of their interest. If the item turns out to be completely unnecessary, the surprise gets ruined. So the concept of having a Wish List is equally important for the receiver and giver of the gift. The problem arises when the time comes to exchange this information. Mostly you need to ask them what they would want to have but then at times you can’t find that specific item in the market or you cannot afford to buy them what they want. Whereas, an online wish list allows you to select from several items buy the one you can out of those listed.
Most well-established online shopping websites have an inbuilt portal where the customers can create a wish list but the problem with these wish lists is that people do not buy items from one online store. Similarly, only a few of your friends will be accessing your list via that specific website. In order to increase the reach and let a greater number of your friends and family members know your preferences and inclinations, the practice needs to be carried out over the social network.
Social Media is capable of generating massive traffic and almost everyone we know has a Facebook account. It not only helps in staying in touch with your loved ones but you can join interesting games and applications. People find it more convenient and they like to have most of the things that interests them on their Facebook profile. They keep posting pictures, music, video, notes, stories and so much more, which makes it easier for their friends and relatives to know about their interests and what they are up to.
Recently a new application has been launched, for the gifting purpose, on Facebook, iPhone and Android as well. It, by far, appears to be the most extensive effort in this regard. The name of the application is GiftBox and it was developed by the team of Avenue Social Inc. It has an easy-to-use simple design which allows the user to add items from all online shopping websites. The key feature of this app is it’s availability on multiple fronts. You can easily access the wish list of your loved ones via iPhone, Android or Facebook, and buy gifts for them with just a few clicks.
