If you’re giving a surprise gift as a group, Giftster can help you stay organized, especially if the gifts have many components.

This is especially helpful if you’re making a gift basket or theme gift.  Here are some examples:

Housewarming Gift

What do you do for that one person who is moving into their own place for the first time?  How about stocking their kitchen with cooking supplies? You can make a Giftster list of things like pots, pans, dishware, utensils, gadgets, and even small appliances.  This way, you can make sure the recipient gets one of everything instead of 10 plates and no forks.

This is ideal for parents to do for their children as they move out on their own.

Theme Gift Basket

Whatever your theme (happy retirement, good luck, happy birthday, etc.), you can make a Giftster list of the parts you need contributed to put in the gift basket.  Invite others to your group and they can choose what part of the basket to get.

Baby Shower Surprise

My friend was invited to a baby shower with a Dr. Seuss theme.  The party organizer asked that everyone bring a signed book instead of a card with their gift.  My friend’s first question was “how will you make sure she doesn’t get 30 of the same book?”

My answer to her: Make a Giftster list!

We made a Giftster list of all the Dr. Seuss books so the guests could pick which book to give and cut down on multiples.
