TIME, 2010
The company that built G-Commerce.
RealGifts has been the infrastructure behind real physical gifting on digital platforms since 2008. We coined the terms G-Commerce and Gifting as a Service. We launched at Facebook's f8, ran the Facebook Gift Shop across 100 million U.S. profiles, and hold USPTO patents on gifting commerce technology. The platform that powers gifting on your app today is built on that foundation.

What the press recorded
"The whole transaction took me about 30 seconds. No shopping cart, no checkout. I didn't even need to input her shipping address."
Dan Fletcher, Time Magazine
Fast Company covered RealGifts alongside TIME in the same era, documenting the emergence of real physical gifting as a new category inside social platforms. Both outlets recognized what was different: the gift was real, the transaction was frictionless, and the recipient did not need to share an address. That product experience is what we still sell to platform operators today.

Intellectual property
RealGifts holds USPTO patents issued and pending on gifting commerce technology, including the mechanisms that enable real physical gift transactions inside third-party platform environments. The REALGIFTS trademark (USPTO registration 6298839) and the GIFT.ME trademark (USPTO registration 90104455) are both registered.
What we are building
RealGifts exists to make real physical gifting a native feature of any digital platform. Consumer gifting moved online years ago, but the infrastructure to embed real gift transactions inside apps and platforms was never packaged for operators at a self-serve price point. We built that infrastructure in 2008. We have been running it since.
The product today is the same product it has always been: a white-label gift shop that sits inside your platform, runs on our catalog and fulfillment network, and generates commission revenue for you on every order. We handle the machinery. You handle your product.
Run your platform on that foundation.
