House nameplate - Great gift for a couple

As the name suggests, The House Nameplate Company produce high quality house nameplates. As you can see from the photo, they have lots of styles, made with various materials. You personalise them with your own text, which you enter using their really cool online design tool. You can play around with font faces, text size, nameplate shape, and material. They make a great gift idea for a couple - Perhaps as a Wedding present or anniversary present. Of course it doesn't have to be for a couple, and would make an unusual retirement gift for instance.
Visit housenameplate.co.uk and give their tool a whirl!

Our iPhone & iPad app gets an upgrade!

We've just released Version 1.1 of our iPhone & iPad App to the itunes app store. It's ois7 compatible and in-line with most apps, it now works in portrait orientation as well as landscape (after feedback from users). In order to achieve this we’ve had to use icons for the genders, like you’d find on a toilet door!

Click here to visit the app store page

Download it now, so you'll have it in your pocket when you're panicking about presents for the big 'C' (don't like mentioning it before December!). It accesses GiftGen's main website database of over 3,700 gift ideas, so you should find something for everyone.

Here's some search links to a few websites that sell them FOR UNDER £10...

Personalised Bobble Tassel Hat

Teenagers can be very tough to buy for (will you accidentally get them something that's just gone out of favour with the younger generation), and so when we came across these Personalised Bobble Tassel Hats from thepresentfinder, we thought we'd immediately add them to our gift database. They currently seem to be exclusive to thepresentfinder.co.uk. The photo here shows them with a name on. But perhaps think outside the box, and maybe request a nickname, a saying they like...

GiftGen iPhone and iPad App Launched!

We're happy to announce that we've now launched our FREE iPhone and iPad app on iTunes store!

You can download it here...
http://itunes.apple.com/app/giftgen/id392027903?mt=8

The app allows you to save lists locally on your phone and also to email them. Great for when you are trying to agree what gift to buy someone if you’re collaborating with family, friends or work colleges, because you are clubbing together to buy a gift, or just so you don't buy the same thing.
