We are Different, We are Special

We've all had those occasions when words just aren't enough to convey what you feel. You need to go the extra mile to show someone just how much you care. Whether it the birth of a new baby, a marriage, a special birthday, or just because it's been a long time -- sometimes, the perfect gift can say it all for you. Wishwrap (www.wishwrap.com) makes it easy and fun for you to give unique gifts that say exactly what you feel, every time.

Wishwrap is your custom solution to gift-giving. It's like going to a tailor instead of the mall, just a whole lot easier than either one. Pick a gift, add a wish (our secret ingredient) and you're done. Just a couple of mouse clicks is all it takes, but your thoughtfulness will shine through. And, no one will ever guess how easy it was.

Getting giddy over giving the best gift is, ofcourse, optional.

What's so Special About WishWrap

Wishwrap is a special place, somewhere to go for a very personal and unique shopping experience. The site makes you feel like you own the place -- when you 'sign in' to your account, your name actually appears in front of the company logo, like it belongs to you. Then, you can find a gift to suit the emotion you're feeling - you might want to share a little 'warmth' with someone, and you can find all kinds of gifts to express that feeling. There are lots of little such details and surprises sprinkled throughout the site, which make it really fun and meaningful.

The most important thing, though, and the biggest reason Wishwrap has become my go-to neighborhood store (even though it's online!) is the attention and care they give to every gift. Every gift sold on the site is selected for its quality, its meaningfulness, and its practicality (no

cashmere blankets for newborns here, although they do carry an equally snuggly and cozy machine-washable version for baby AND mom!)

In addition to great gifts, Wishwrap is about great packaging and making memorable impressions. Whenever I get someone a Wishwrapped gift, they feel special, and they know I care. Every last detail is thought through from their custom Hallmark- style greeting cards that can be edited down to the luxurious silk bags and boxes that come free with every gift.

And, in the unlikely event that you should have a problem, or just to check in or get advice, the shop owner gives everyone her personal email address and is always accessible to Wishwrap customers! With quality and service like that, shopping is a pleasure, even for a shop-a-phobe like me! The secret's already out, so check it out at www.wishwrap.com!

Gift Guide for New Babies (and their parents)

Gift Guide for New Babies (and their parents)

Even people who don’t enjoy shopping often like buying baby gifts.
Miniature-sized booties, mittens, and outfits are adorable! But, how
practical are they? Here is one new mom’s perspective on practical do’s
and don’ts for your next baby shower event.

If you’re buying clothes:

a)
Pay attention to how they come off. There will inevitably be many, many
diaper changes. The outfit is a lot more likely to get good mileage if
the nervous new parents don’t have to go wriggle a fragile little head
in and out of cute clothes ten times a day. Robes, gowns, kimonos, and
front snap tees are great. Practical doesn’t have to mean boring –
there are a lot of stylish options out there!

b) Be mindful of
the weather. Don’t get summery clothes in the 0-3 month size if the
baby is born in the dead of winter. Chances are, as cute as they may
be, the baby will outgrow them long before he or she gets a chance to
wear them. If it’s rainy, rain gear will be very much appreciated to
protect the delicate newborn.

c) Size matters. Newborn clothes
only fit for a short time unless the baby is particularly small or a
preemie. So, don’t buy too many of the wee sizes. Baby showers often
result in too many little clothes, and by the time the baby is six
months old, the parents are rushing to buy new ones. A nice gift may be
a range of sizes for the baby’s first year.

If you’re looking for non-clothing options:

a)
A keepsake. The baby won’t be able to see what you got for quite some
time, and chances are that by then, it will have been passed on to
someone else. So, get something special for the baby that he or she can
uncover years later, and maybe even pass on to their children some day.
If the baby is someone close, give something from your own childhood
with a hand-written note. A sterling silver item is also a great
choice. Wishwrap has some fun options like a silver spoon, silver rattle, or silver teddy bank. A blanket or quilt, like Wishwrap’s Cuddly Baby Blanket,
is another precious gift with great longevity – just make sure it’s
machine washable! A cashmere baby blanket may be luxurious, but it’s
totally impractical.

b) An offbeat theme gift. A swimsuit and
water toys could be a great gift for a new baby. A little library that
grows with the baby is another fun option. This might include books and
CDs that the baby can enjoy as he or she gets older.

c)
A “non-thing”. New parents are inundated with necessary “things” that
come with a new baby. A car seat, crib, new clothes, diapers, toys,
etc., etc. The list can be quite daunting. Give a gift that will
‘disappear’ after it’s used. Meals that can be frozen for last-minute
use are a great help. If the baby will be in cloth diapers, a local
diaper service is a great gift. Offer your time to watch the baby so
that the parents can sneak out for a short film or even a nice long
walk. Housecleaning with a chemical-free service or a massage for the
new mom may be other great gifts that will ultimately benefit the baby
and the parents!

d) Money. New babies are expensive. As they get
older, they get more and more so. Cash is always a welcome gift. If you
give cold, hard cash, make it thoughtful with a hand-written note that
designates it for a specific purpose. Or, give a gift certificate
to Wishwrap with a personalized wish from you. You can always get the
baby a gift of stocks or bonds, or open a College Savings account for
the baby. Many states have tax-free plans for education.

New babies are precious. Celebrate their arrival with a special gift
that’s thoughtful and meaningful. Use the tips above, and be sure that
your gift will be something that’s cherished by the parents too.

Graduation Day blues....

Celebrate Dad with Thoughtful and Unique Gifts

For most people, choosing a gift for Dad is an anxiety-ridden task. A
website with a twist on gift-giving, Wishwrap
promises to make getting a gift for Dad special, easy and fun.

San Francisco, CA, May 22, 2008 -- San Francisco-based online luxury gift
site Wishwrap has a new line of gifts exclusively for Dad.
The gifts range in price from $20 to $250 with everything from high-end hobby
gifts to fun games he can enjoy with the whole family. But, a great product
line is just the beginning at this unique e-store.

“When you shop at Wishwrap,” says Founder Manisha Kothari, “you get a
complete gift experience. For any
gift, the giver can select wishes like ‘love’ or ‘comfort’ to go with the
product’. There are over 25 wishes to fit any occasion. The giver can really
personalize any gift by mixing and matching products with different wishes –
and they can have fun in the process.” That’s what it’s all about at Wishwrap,
making gift-giving meaningful. When a gift recipient gets a Wishwrapped
present, they really get something special. Why not give Dad sterling silver
cufflinks made from real watch parts to say ‘patience’
or a funny ceramic mug to convey ‘laughter’
this Father’s Day?

The Wishwrap difference is in its luxurious packaging. Gifts are presented
in dark chocolate silk bags and boxes, and each gift comes with a customized
card that reflects the wishes made by the gift giver. The wish is repeated on a
tag tied to the gift itself, with a short definition of the sentiment. The
packaging transforms a great gift into a thoughtful and unique gift.

Wishwrap offers gifts for special occasions including birthdays,
weddings and
anniversaries, the
birth of a new baby, and
retirement. Father’s Day
is the perfect opportunity to celebrate Dad with a unique Wishwrapped gift and
show him how much you care.
