Virtual Gifts Become Popular as Disposable Income Becomes Less - Send A Virtual Gift

Canada (SANEPR.com) October 14, 2008 -- With all the financial uncertainty in the markets today consumers are looking to cut back on spending. Although their monthly fixed costs, such as rent, car and credit card payments remain unchanged, their search for unnecessary expenses remains a priority. In a one-year period most consumers spend hundreds of dollars on gifts for people that are only acquaintances. The reason for this is primarily guilt. If the gift is too cheap it shows you the sentiment becomes lost. Send A Virtual Gift.com (www.sendavirtualgift.com) is a new web site where a gift is free and the sentiment is never lost.

Send A Virtual Gift.com is a web site where people can send an image of a gift with a card attached. What is unique about this site, is that each time a gift is sent there is a point value attached, which allows the recipient to see the sentimental value of the gift. Although none of the gifts have any real value, sentimental value takes front stage. There are many different gift categories on the site, with new virtual images being loaded each day.

Virtual gifts are great for situations where people just want to send friends, relatives or co-workers a quick note to say "thanks" or "good luck". For those with a sense of humor there is even a "joke" category where for example you can send someone a "stuffed crow" with a personal note attached.

Send A Virtual Gift.com is also a free social site where visitors can sign up free, network with friends, upload videos and photos, use the message boards and accumulate points from sending virtual gifts. These points can be used for specials posted from time to time.
