How to get your family to use Giftster

Tuesday, December 4th, 2012

We all have those non-conformists in our families that are resistant to change or trying new things.  Gift giving and list exchanging is no different.  So what are you to do if you really like Giftster and you’re having a difficult time getting others on board?  I have a few ideas for you to try.

Why Giftster is better for gift wish lists than Pinterest

Tuesday, November 13th, 2012

When I’ve talked with others about Giftster, I’ve occasionally heard, “oh, well I just do that on Pinterest.”  Now I am an avid Pinterest user but Pinterest is not the most effective place to share your wish list items.  For that, you need Giftster.

Shop online through links on wish lists

Monday, August 6th, 2012

How many times has someone told you about something on their wish list and you had no idea what they were talking about?  I know it’s happened a number of times, mostly with the younger people in my family.  One of the fun things about Giftster is that you can add links to the items you’re wishing for so your gift givers know exactly what you’d like.

Make a wishlist for your eyes only

Monday, June 25th, 2012

I love making lists.  They help keep me organized in many aspects of my life.  One way that I use Giftster is to help me organize the crochet projects I’d like to make and the yarn I’d like to use.  However, I don’t expect anyone to give me something from this list as a gift.  They’re more my personal wishes for my personal reference.  Giftster has a way to make this list not visible to the others in my group so I can only see it in the future.

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.
