Facebook Gifts
Holiday shopping... you either love it or hate it.
Some of us would rather stay home and watch the game than be out in a crowded mall fighting people, crowds and parking.
So imagine holiday shopping without all the stuff you hate! That’s right, Facebook is bringing the mall to you.
Facebook Gifts rolls out just in time for the holidays. Here’s how it works. First, click the “Give a Gift” button on Facebook.
Then, buy your friend a gift! Pick out the perfect gift, add your message and it's ready to ship – no address needed.
You can choose from literally thousands of gifts ranging from Whoopie pies and popcorn tins, to gift cards, clothes and wines. It even suggests gift ideas... now that’s a smarter way to shop.
Your friend is notified instantly. Friends enter their own shipping info and can swap for a different size, flavor or style before the gift ships. How handy is that?
What happens next? . The gift arrives! Your beautifully packaged gift gets delivered right to your friend's door.
Can holiday shopping get any easier? No.... and you’re welcome.
