ActiveGift.me - How we give gifts-2. New Year Public Beta

    This post is a continuation of the topic that I started in the summer.
    ActiveGift.me - How we give gifts. Briefly about sore.

    Who has not read, the speech to the problem “What exactly is the Culprit of the Triumph really wants to receive as a present?”

    In August we were still in stealth-mode and the only thing I could do was to say words in letters.
    Then I received a lot of comments and clarifying questions ...
    Thanks to everyone who was partial.
    You all helped a lot (some in word, some in deed, some just an encouraging exclamation).

    Now the situation has changed.
    Now I can not only speak in letters, but also refer to the beta version.
    And to discuss this beta on Habré.

    Initial data


    Introductory remains the same:
    • have a desire to give a gift
    • there is a gift recipient (Culprit of the Triumph)
    • There are hundreds of gift options (in online and offline stores of goods, services, etc.)
    • there is no main thing - understanding what exactly the Culprit would like to get from what we have enough money for

    For clarity, I’ll talk about the possibilities of the service using the example of the easiest and closest gift case - the New Year .

    We abstract from the details and imagine that you need to choose and give a gift to a person yourself.

    The choice in everyday life, the choice of gifts looks like this:
    • trying to remember that a person ever mentioned his wishes
    • we look at his blogs, twitter, VKontakte and look for hints of what is desired
    • we run around different shops for a long time and fantasize on the subject “oh, this little sacker will definitely like it ... there’s none yet ... and it doesn’t matter that there are 100,500 other very similar ones”
    • choose something that suits your budget
    • trembling and praying that the chosen little thing like a little
    • we never know that the culprit was hoping to receive something else as a gift and was disappointed


    What allows you to do Active Gift


    Gift selection with Active Gift
    • decided on a budget for a gift
    • found several options for gifts that fit the budget and "ideology"
    • compiled a list of these gifts on Active Gift
    • anonymously sent the culprit this list
    • (The culprit votes for each option “Yes” or “No”, that is, “Like this option, I want, give” or “Do not like, do not want, do not give”)
    • you get a list of ideas “filtered” by the Culprit
    • buy something from the “agreed” gifts
    • give peace of mind
    • everyone is happy and satisfied :)


    How to do this step-by-step:
    • You go to the service of absolute accuracy gifts Active Gift
    • Login (for now, only using Facebook, soon there will be a login through other accounts)
    • Wait while the system itself imports your friends from Facebook (or skip this step and go inside the link under the progress bar
    • Go to the Discussion Section
    • Click "Create discussion"
    • Write the name of the Discussion (for example, “Gift for Masha for the New Year”)
    • Choose a friend (autocomplete works if you start writing his Facebook name in the "Who is Recipient in that event?" Field)
    • Set the date (as far as I know, we have New Year on December 31)
    • Make a list of 2+ gift ideas (the autocomplete works in the “Add your gift offer” field; if something is not in the catalog, add via AddYours)
    • An invitation to the Culprit is automatically sent after adding two or more gift options.
    • The invitation and the discussion itself will be anonymous (that is, the Culprit will not see that you are offering him gifts and the surprise will remain a surprise)
    • Waiting for the culprit to vote for each option
    • For gifts marked “Accepted” (Accepted), click on the link “Where to buy”
    • If we have several options for stores where it is sold, this list will be in a pop-up window with a description
    • Press the button "Buy"
    • Waiting for a call from the store, stipulating delivery, payment, etc.
    • Mission accomplished.
