Hey Jason,

This is Charlie from the GiftDish team. I'm locked out of comments from the GiftDish account.

Thanks for the feedback.

1) We're currently evaluating product gifting. Currently, all gifts are "instant" and we're worried about the complexities around shipping/returns/etc that come with products. It's a great use case and we're trying to figure out the best way to do it.

2) We currently working to enable other sign-in options besides Facebook. As stated below, without automatic events, the site is very empty. Additionally, we're soon going to allow invites via email, so you can send gifts and collaborate with non facebook friends.

Why are we inviting people? Why are we collaborating? Isn't the "Sending Gifts" the main thing your site does? The mechanism you use to login should not affect that in any way.

Further, why is the site based on Events? I tried to send a gift to test it out, but there's no "Send a Gift" button. Why is that not a big giant element at the top of the page, sitting next to a box where I can type an email address?

Instead, I need to find the "add an event" button in the nav, then jump through a bunch of steps to create a new event with a date and find the one option in the list of event types that lets me actually send a gift without entering more information. Seems like a lot of unnecessary complexity that detracts from the central focus of the site.

That said, it's quite pretty. And the workflow to send birthday gifts to my facebook friends is pretty cool. You just need a way to send gifts to people who aren't in my Facebook list and/or aren't having a birthday.

I agree with OP. This is a complete non-starter for me if I can't actually send physical gifts. I actually just assumed that you were an amazon affiliate play:)
