Giftingnation Gives Gift Givers a New Direction

BANGALORE, March 7, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --

    Giving a gift that's cherished can be a challenge. Whether you're unsure of your loved
one's sense of taste, style or just get flummoxed at the idea of giving gifts, technology
can help. Giftingnation is a website designed to make gift-giving an experience to be
enjoyed by both the giver and the receiver.

    The website is stunning, well-designed with easy navigation. The images are
high-quality and the pages are uncluttered. CNBC Awaaz featured
[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PxqqOYXtiII ] them as an upcoming startup in the gifting
space and also was published
[http://smallbusinessindia.intuit.in/interview-business-profile/featuring-giftingnation ]
in Intuit's SMB blog.

    Giftingnation for the first time in India launched "Dial a gift", a gifting hotline
080-68000068 where customers can call to know any gift ideas or suggestions and place an
order. You can become a member on the phone itself. This service offers a personalized
experience for the user as it is helping him choose the right gift. The company is also
working on their technological discovery and recommendation platform due to launch end of
next quarter.

    At a recent interview, Srinivas Mothey, Co-founder of Giftingnation, said, "We are
here to improvise and make the gift-giving process easy and delightful surrounded by great
service and experience that is beautifully presented with an element of surprise."

    Giftingnation takes pride in the gifts that are available on its website - from edible
gifts (cake, cupcakes), flowers & chocolates, collectibles (paintings, quirky gifts) to
exclusive collections like Harley Davidson motorbike replicas and more. "We try to find
gifts that you and the person you're giving to will find exceptional. Our job is to help
you discover some beautiful products you just don't find in mainstream retail, create an
experience around a set of those products," said Srinivas.

    How it works:

    - You can choose a gift by occasion, recipient or even thought (e.g. I miss you,
Congrats, etc.)

    - Choose from a wide range, schedule a date and personalize (wrap, messages or add-ons
like greeting cards)

    - Add element of surprises (write a handwritten poem or color of the wraps)

    - We deliver it to home, office or hotel.

    Srinivas said that their typical customer is in the mid-20s to mid-50s. Gift givers
are almost equally male and female. "It's interesting because it shows that men find
Giftingnation a great place to shop," he added.

    Gifts can be sent anywhere within India. Currently edible gifts can only be delivered
to Hyderabad and Bangalore but the company plans to expand to other cities like Pune,
Ahmedabad, and Delhi NCR & Mumbai in the next 6 to 8 months.

    About Giftingnation:

Thriving on experience, the company is trying to make the process of discovering and
giving gifts a hassle free process.
