Historically, gifting has been a challenge for all stakeholders involved. On one hand, gift givers need to have a lot of information before they can select the right gift for the recipient. They need to be able to answer questions like what are the recipient’s interests? What are their favorite brands? Does the gift send the right message? On the recipient side, if they do not like the product they receive, they’re tasked with the hassle of returning or exchanging it, while retailers are burdened with the often costly task of processing those returns and exchanges.

Since gifts are then delivered via email, shoppers save time and avoid the stress of tracking down details like sizes and shipping addresses.

Flexible Gift Acceptance
On the recipient side, gone are the days of accepting a gift you don’t like or are unable to return because you don’t have a gift receipt. When a recipient receives a gift in their inbox, they’re given options including:
