From Giiv.com:
Giving a gift should be fun, simple, and instantaneous — now it is. Everyone loves getting gifts — even little things, things that make us smile, things that remind us that people are thinking about us, that the people we care about care about us too.
We LOVE it when people give gifts — giving real gifts in real time make people feel closer. Surprises and little moments of joy make everyone's day brighter. More gifts, more smiles, more happiness. It's pretty simple.
| 1. | You find a gift you want to give a friend. |
| 2. | You enter their mobile number, a little note, and send. * |
| 3. | Your friend gets a text message with a special giiv code that they can take to their local retailer and redeem for a real gift. |
