I absolutely love giving gifts…even more than receiving them! It’s so much fun to watch someone light up with joy as they open something they have not expected. I love giving and receiving hand-crafted items, however, the Martha Stewart in me has yet to blossom which leaves me searching for creative, personal, unique gift ideas. If you’re out of gift ideas, you may be interested in Giftybox, a company that transforms gift-giving into an experience. Here is a little more information about the company from the site:
Giftybox is a new and one-of-a-kind gift involving actual experiences. Both a guidebook and a gift pass, Giftybox offers exceptional choice and flexibility. Each theme-driven Giftybox features a selection of different experiences to choose from and an all inclusive gift pass for the experience of your liking, all wrapped in one box!
The gifts I love receiving the most, are those that allow me to spend some time doing something I normally wouldn’t do (i.e. massage, manicure, etc.). Some of the experiences you can give to those you love include photography instruction, wine tasting, bungee jumping, massage and body treatments, photo sharing, and much more. Choosing a gift is as simple as selecting the themed box that most represents the personality of the recipient. The recipient will receive a guidebook that will help them choose their desired activity or product. The site has a section devoted to helping you find the perfect gift simply by selecting a box based on the recipient’s interests, location, or personal characteristics. You could spend a very long time on the site, exploring the vast number of experiences you’d like to give (and receive!). This truly is the most unique way to give a gift that I’ve come across.
I received a Photo Sharing Kit which truly is the perfect gift for both my husband and myself. The box contains a certificate for two custom printed 20-page photo albums, unlimited storage and slide shows, a guidebook detailing the steps involved with creating a photo album and slide show, and a microphone to record commentary for slide shows. As a mom, I can’t find enough places to store pictures of my son and I just can’t stop taking pictures of him! About two weeks ago, my husband’s hard drive failed and he had to do a lot of work to try to salvage the photos saved on his computer (which of course, were not backed up). Needless to say, we will be backing up everything from now on and I think that having another place to store photos is handy, particularly since everything is computer and internet based in today’s society. For this particular box, the company partnered with Hooray, a web-based photo sharing service, specializing in photo albums, calendars, greeting cards, and audio photo sharing. What’s impressive about Giftybox, is that the gifts are affordable, and you may even save by purchasing gift experiences through them. For example, the Photo Sharing Kit retails for $34.95 but it comes with a certificate that entitles you to 2 $24.95 photo books on Hooray (are you calculating this out with me?). That’s a savings of at least $15!
Be sure to check out the entire selection of Giftyboxes available on the site. And hubby…if you’re reading this…I’m eying the Spa for Women Box so I can get a massage!

I received this as a gift and the partner site (Hoorray) refused to honor the two free photo albums. Just thought I would give you a heads up on this. I have written to Giftybox, but have not received a reply.
interesting.
