Use Giftster to send a Finals Week Care Package to your Student

Monday, March 26th, 2012

Finals time is just around the corner for many college students as spring arrives and temperatures on the Thermostat rise steadily. As a college senior, I know too well the stress and anxiety that comes with the big tests and projects at semester’s end. But during this stressful time, there is one thing sure to put a smile on my face: a care package.

Use Giftster’s free, quick, and easy online gift lists to assemble the perfect care package for your college student during finals week. Have your college student create a wish list on Giftster with all of his or her needs and desires—from cookies to coffee to gift cards—and help them survive this difficult time with ease.

Log in to Giftster today to create your college care package. And if your student isn’t on Giftster, send them an invite to your group and ask them to create their wish list today.

Are you involved in a charity drive in your community? Let Giftster help! Giftster is a great way to help organize your charity drive. Use the free online wish lists on Giftster to create an itemized gift registry of the donations you are collecting.

Set up a wish list on Giftster with the items and quantities needed.  Invite all your friends, family, and other organization members to join your online Giftster group and watch as your donations are collected with ease.

Giftster eliminates much of the confusion and frustration that often comes with organizing charity and donation drives.

List all of the items and their quantities, and group members can browse, reserve, or mark as purchased the item(s) they wish to donate. Using Giftster helps you avoid duplicates. This way, you don’t end up with 50 blankets, but no pillows!
