2 Use Case

Kate has a birthday coming up this Friday. She wants a Burburry scarf rather than 50 papyrus birthday cards. So she created a gift list on smartgift and invited her friends to contribute. Since all her friends are  college students, the donation is limited as $5 per person only.

Jackie wants to surprise her BFF with a creative birthday party. So she invites all their common friends to join a discussion forum at smart gift. Mary offers to use her backyard as venue, Lucy brings linen and wine, and Jackie thinks up a party theme and in charging of contacting friends. Collaborating their intelligence and financial ability, they throw a fabulous birthday party.

Tim is busy full time employee and has a lot of social events that can not miss. Smart gift reminds him all the time: anniversary, boss's baby shower and colleague's fairwell party. Also he can send his blessing remotely to old friends living in other cities.
