Gift cards are soulless and buying the wrong gift leads to annoying returns. But you might not know if your loved one would prefer a drone, action camera, or a VR headset. With Snappy Gifts<\/a>, they get to choose. Snappy Gifts is a new startup offering a fresh new approach that takes the guess-work out of generosity.<\/span><\/p>\n Pick the suggested gift or swap it for one you like better<\/p>\n You go to Snappy Gift\u2019s app<\/a>, choose a price range, and then select from a collection of gifts your recipient will choose from, like \u2018gadgets\u2019, \u2018cooking\u2019, \u2018outdoors\u2019, or \u2018teens\u2019. You can then designate a suggested gift from legit brands like DJI drones, Amazon mobile devices, GoPros, Prada clothing, and Kate Spade purses. Without having to pay up front, you send the digital present.<\/p>\n The recipient gets to virtually scratch to reveal the suggested gift. They can then accept it, or pre-swap it for anything else in the collection within your price range. You\u2019ll receive an email asking you to pay the standard retailer price of the present, and Snappy Gifts\u00a0ships it off. Snappy Gifts cuts deals for discounts from the manufacturers, and keeps the average 10% margin between the wholesale price and what it charges you.<\/p>\n Recipients get to virtually scratch to reveal their suggested gift<\/p>\n And since Snappy Gifts curates a selection of popular, brand-name products it\u2019s easy to send something awesome even if you can\u2019t imagine what to send.<\/p>\n Snappy Gifts is still a little rough around the edges. The design needs polish, and you can only send a gift from its iOS app \u2014 not the web or Android. There are some gimmicky Sharper Image-reject gifts in the collections. And if the giver is a deadbeat, a recipient might pick a gift that never ends up getting paid for and sent.<\/p>\n Conceived in Tel Aviv and built in San Francisco, Snappy Gifts <\/a>has been bootstrapped but is now trying to raise a seed round of funding. It will have to compete directly with Loop Tie<\/a>, which has a gorgeous website but crappy gifts that seem like ripoffs at their price points. There\u2019s also traditional giving and gift cards, as well as startups like Gyft, Giftagram, Swift Gift, and Jifiti. But none of those make it so easy for people to pick what they want and get it quick.<\/p>\n Give the gift of choice.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Article source: http:\/\/feedproxy.google.com\/~r\/techcrunch\/social\/~3\/ilbwaTFXDDM\/<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Gift cards are soulless and buying the wrong gift leads to annoying returns.

Snappy Gifts has plenty of advantages, especially if you can\u2019t deliver a physical gift in person:<\/p>\n\n
