Thanks to BitsOnLine for mentioning eGifter in their list of the Top 5 ways to use Bitcoin for Mothers’s Day Gifts. Here’s what they said about us…

eGifter Has Cards for Nearly Everything

eGifter has been selling gift cards for bitcoin longer than nearly everyone — since 2013. The company now offers gift card codes for over 200 retailers in all the main categories. That includes Amazon, which makes the range of gifts your mother could buy herself almost limitless. There are no fees, and customers earn loyalty points for bitcoin trades.

Moms are appreciative of whatever they receive, especially if there was thoughtfulness behind it. But for those moms who you know would love one BIG gift versus lots of little gifts, we’ve got the solution.

It wasn’t long ago that if you forgot to buy a Mother’s Day gift before the holiday you were out of luck, especially if the recipient lived far away.

Gripe about the pace of the modern world, but that speed definitely works in our favor when best intentions or efforts fail.

If your mom or other gift recipient lives nearby, you may still have time to buy a gift at a store and deliver it yourself — Mother’s Day falls on Sunday, May 14, this year. But what if the recipient lives far away or you just don’t have time or energy to go to the store and then race around to have it delivered in time?Check out these last-minute solutions:

1. Giftagram
2. Texture
3. Amazon Prime

Sometimes you want to send a gift card but just don’t have time to drive around to find one from an appropriate retailer. Enter the eGifter Choice Card. As eGifter describes this unique electronic gift card:

“The eGifter Choice Card gives you total flexibility and choice! The recipient can choose from hundreds of gift cards on eGifter.com or in our mobile apps to get whatever they want, whenever they need it. … They can redeem the full value for one or more gift cards of their choice, such as Amazon.com, Best Buy, Adidas, Target, The Home Depot…the list goes on and on!”

So you simply decide how much you want to spend on the recipient — from $5 to $2,000 — and pay that amount online. There are no fees to send or redeem an eGifter Choice Card.

When you place your order, you’ll be able to specify whether you want eGifter to send the gift card to the recipient (on a date of your choosing), or whether you want to print a PDF version of the gift card to give the recipient yourself.

eGifter appreciates when a Mom Blogger, recognizes just how awesome group gifting technology is and how perfect it is for teacher gifts from the class.

The following is from the blog post of All Dressed Up & Nothing To Drink…

Did you know teachers spend approximately 900 hours per year with our kids in a classroom? Whew! When I think of the amount of tantrums, resistance and overall grumpy moments my kids have in 900 hours, I want to curl up on the couch and take a nap.

I also think of the amount of aha! moments, belly laughs and milestones they have in 900 hours and I melt. Our teachers are there for the good, bad and ugly, and they want to see each and every one of their students succeed.

Here are a few ways to say thanks to one of the most influential people in your child’s life.

For the Group Gift

I have been Room Mom in the past. I am not a Room Mom-type of mom, if that make sense. I can’t stand e-mailing people over and over, asking for money for a class gift, fielding 50 different questions and taking into account a million opinions. I just want to GET IT DONE. eGifter is possibly the most brilliant idea I have seen for this scenario. eGifter is a free and easy to use app that makes it easy for classroom families to privately collect funds and leave personal messages for their kids’ amazing teachers.

Best of all, recipients receive the eGifter Choice Card, which gives them the freedom to mix and match from hundreds of popular gift cards ranging from Macy’s, Lord & Taylor, Sephora, Ulta, American Airlines, Uber and so many more.  eGifter is focused on convenience.  They’ve eliminated the hassles associated with class gifts such as IOUs, checks via backpacks and stressing over the perfect gift. 100% of the contributions go directly to the recipient’s gift.

You can read the blog post in its entirety here.

Give the gift that can’t miss or stock up for yourself! You’ll find everything from cutting edge gadgets and tools to practical housewarming gifts and workshop essentials.
