Ideas

Sound like you want to include an animated .gif with a sound in it? Or maybe its like the free "e-card" sites that send messages wrapped in cute graphics and sound.

Problem is the sites where you send these digital gifts from (amazon, giftcards.com, etc..) have their own interface.

The nice part of the unwrapping is the unwrapping, doing it digitally is not really what you want then. It could be nice if you as a sender send an email but the receiver receives a real box with wrapping and all. In it might be a memory stick with the present on it and a letter that's hinting to the contents of the memory stick.

I know it doesn't really make sense in the way that you'd could just as good send the information right away, but it does have that gift feeling. And yes it would be expensive, but hey, if you really care about someone, you'd pay the extra buck for that original gift, right?

CambrianHouse's own "Prezzle" is already similar to this. I think this functionality would be best served by being rolled into Prezzle.

this is weird but really cool i give it a THUMBS UP

its a good ides

good idea

the solution to this is as most of you already know is to have it online. yeah, but there are a lot of email gift packages out there, u get an email with a link. click the link.. u get to a page which opens the contents and reveals a greeting in flash or something. unless u want it like Julius says. a real gift a real wrapper. expensive maybe but hey its real. and ordering such gift items can be done online.

i thought that this was already implemented and running? (albeit not updated and somewhat abandoned)

or is this to gauge interest in the continuation of the project?

The same... Why is this idea back? It has been deployed...

Hi all,

Yes this idea has already been submitted and implemented.
You can use prezzle today at:

www.prezzle.com

We added it back to the IdeaExplorer in preparation for the upcoming release of some new functionality. We want to put Prezzle as a guinea pig for working on projects in Cambrian House.

So do not worry. You will never see Prezzle in IdeaWarz, and it is in no way competing with any community ideas.

halo jr,

do we have a hint what are those new functionalities?

Yes - they are related to turning your idea into a project. That means as an idea submitter, if you would like to build your idea yourself you will be able to recruit people from the community (programmers, designers, marketers) and build a team to help realize your project.

We are adding back products like Prezzle, Robin Hood Fund, and GWABS as test candidates for this new platform. So don't be surprised if you see these floating around as new ideas (they aren't really).

Cheers - JR

Hi,

This reminds me of a combination of Giftcertificates.com + animation + time delay. Personally, I am inundated with emails and would rather redeem a gift when I receive it and thus I might be a bit annoyed, but then again, that's perhaps the big attraction of the site. Actually, there are a few gift-related applications that have this anticipation factor (Amazon's Gold Box at the top of the size or the $1 random Bag of Crap on Woot http://www.woot.com/...aspx?BlogEntryId=814)
Good luck with this venture.

Great Idea..!!
