What Is GiftCrowd?

We, at GIFTWITH Inc, are very glad we could create GiftCrowd, the service which makes the process of gifting others intuitive and painless, because we are using it ourselves on a daily basis.

After several frustrating experiences of collecting money, tracking down a couple of guys who kept on forgetting to bring cash, making sure we always had exact change only to find out that the gift receiver was not satisfied with our choice and went to exchange it, we were convinced that in today’s technological world it did not have to be this way, and this is how GiftCrowd was born.

Now when we want to gift a colleague at work, a teacher of our kids at school, buy birthdays presents to friends of our kids and even when gifting a friend when we do not invite anyone to join, we simply turn to GiftCrowd which not only makes buying gifts painless, but also makes receiving gifts as painless, leaving the power to select the desired gift (and more than one in most cases) at the hands of the receiver.

We hope you will find it useful!
