A FRESH APPROACH TO CREATING & ORGANISING ONLINE GIFT LISTS

Unlike many other lists we have a full 100% payback on pledged funds with no processing or management fees; use of a free, customisable home page; complimentary stationery and no postage and carriage fees. Users setting up their accounts invite friends and family to pledge to their account which is repaid in the form of gift vouchers and gift cards.
