Gift Cards In The 21st Century

For quite some time now, gift cards have been becoming the norm in the gift-giving world. 

They are easy to give and great to receive. 

They usually take just a few moments to find and there is something out there for everyone.

But for a long time, gift cards have been relatively impersonal.  Personalizing a gift card usually meant buying a gift card and sending it along with a much more personal greeting card or note.  Only recently have companies begun to let consumers add a personal touch.

All that is about to change as Greetingbee.com recently rocketed onto the gift card scene.  Greetingbee is a new website that allows consumers to fully customize their gift card purchases.

It all begins with their calendar that lets you input important dates like birthdays and anniversaries.  Greetingbee will send reminders as these dates approach.  Once you decide to send a card, Greetingbee will prompt you choose a card from a number of large retailers.

From there, it’s really up to you.  You can upload photos and write any greeting you like.  You can have the gift card sent to the lucky recipient immediately or on a specific day in future.

As gift cards continue to permeate the gift-giving scene, we are bound to see more ways to customize these gifts.  It is exciting that one company has already begun to usher in a new way to give.
