- What are gifts?

- Why send gifts?
- Why not? Your best friend had a bad day, cheer them up with a chocolate sundae! It's your brother's birthday, send him a birthday cake that blows up! You beat your girlfriend in MarioCart, send her a dancing tator tot to gloat! There really is no limit to why you might send a gift. Gift freely, gift often.

- How do I get the Giftbox?
- We're so glad you asked! Just visit the My Giftbox page to get started. We even make it super fast to post to your favorite social network.
- How do I send a gift on the web?
- If you use the Giftbox widget, its easy to get started – just press the "Send Gift" button. If not, you can also start in the Gift Store section of Giftd.com. Then find a gift you like, enter the email address of the recipient and your message to them and press send. Voila, you've sent a gift!
- How do I unwrap a gift I received?

To unwrap them, just click the "View" button to see the gift, interact with it, and read your personalized message. Then be a nice guy, and send a gift back!
- Does it cost anything to send gifts?
- That depends on you! You can choose a gift based on what you want to spend. Giftd has gifts that range between 0 credits (free) and 5 credits. The price of each gift is displayed beneath the gift.
- How do I get credits?
- You can purchase credits by clicking the "Buy Credits" link in the top right of Giftd.com, or the "Get More Credits" link from your Giftbox widget. We accept payment via credit card and Paypal.

- Can I send a gift to a mobile device from the web?
- Technically, yes! When sending a gift, you enter the email address for the recipient. If that person can receive email on their mobile device and launch the gift with a mobile browser, you've sent a gift to a mobile device! However, not all cell phones are created equal, and many phones do not yet support the awesomeness of our gifts (most use Flash). So for now, we recommend viewing them on a computer.
