THE HAGUE, The Netherlands, Nov. 15, 2018 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- The world's first complete social network for gift-giving, ElfShare.com, is launching its first release of its app this week on Google Play. The app and ElfShare website are now ready to welcome users for its first Christmas season.
"ElfShare is the first social platform dedicated solely to gift-giving," explained Anna Aufill, co-creator of ElfShare, along with her partner, Alex Daskalakis. "We recognized the need for a more fun and interactive platform as we searched for an online wish list to use ourselves. So we've created an easily extendable platform built on the wish list concept that integrates all the best features of a social network."
ElfShare also solves the problem of wasted or returned gifts over the holidays by helping users receive the gifts that they really want and need.
"Not knowing what to get family and friends for the holidays should now be a thing of the past," explained Ms Aufill.
By creating a Gifting Profile on ElfShare, users get a free customizable profile that includes their wish list, their gift preferences and other neat features. Each account has a unique URL that can be shared publicly with followers or privately with friends and family. Gift ideas can be seamlessly shared between users with a click of a button. Gift suggestions are accepted or (cordially) declined between users, which sets ElfShare apart from other wish list apps.
Events can be created in the ElfShare Calendar with presents sorted and organized accordingly as gift registries. Wish list items can be reserved for purchase so that gifts are not accidentally purchased twice.
Online tech is inspiring people to give more gifts, whether it's over long distances or not.
"We made ElfShare because we have always loved sharing gifts with friends, family, and even with strangers. We really believe that generosity, cooperation and kindness can change the world," explained Mr Daskalakis.
The ElfShare Gift Shop has nearly 200K gift ideas and features well-loved American and European brands for the whole family, including everything from novelty products to luxury items. The site hosts a collection of over two dozen US and UK-based merchants, most of which offer global shipping. While ElfShare provides gift ideas via its gift shop, gifts can also be added to a user's wish list from most websites.
As a universal wish list, ElfShare provides a service that makes it easy to save gifts that support small independent businesses.
ElfShare's Greek-American team, based in The Netherlands, has targeted the US market, while making the website accessible for anyone in the world to use.
