Stumped about what to get that person in your life this holiday season who seems to have everything? See an item that you would like to see under the tree for you? desirelist, a new site where users can list and share the things they want most, will take these common frustrations away with the launch of its new wishlist and gifting concept.
Already gaining widespread popularity, desirelist is changing behaviors in the $200 billion gifting industry with one simple shift – putting gift selection in the hands of the receivers. By connecting gift givers, gift recipients and online suppliers, desirelist makes gift buying simple, stress free and fun. It eliminates the main pain points associated with buying people gifts – not knowing what they want, not having the time to shop and not knowing how much to spend. The newsfeed also lets users follow trend-setters and other desirelisters for gift giving inspiration, and provides an easy way to keep track of personal desires.
“Approximately $1 billion worth of gift cards go unused and $63 billion of gifts are returned to retail stores each year. Aside from the inconvenience to the consumer and the financial impact on the retailer, gifting fails can strain relationships when a well intended gesture completely misses the mark,” said Eric Sheinkop, founder and CEO of desirelist. “At desirelist, we believe that the solution to this problem is simple, knowing what people want. Today people take to their social networks to share their likes, wants and needs yet gifting is the last industry not to fully incorporate the benefits of social networking to its advantage. With the launch of desirelist, we are set to change that and put an end to gifting fails.”
A personal registry platform, desirelist allows consumers to curate lists of all their personal desires, including clothes, fashion accessories, housewares they need, restaurants they want to visit, trips they want to experience and even movies they want to see. Users can create desirelists for special occasions like birthdays, weddings and baby showers, or simply for self gifting. Gift givers can select and purchase an item from a friend or family member’s desirelist, then sit back and relax, confident it is something they want and that it will be delivered at the desired time and place with no duplicate or “bad” gifting.
“While desirelist is ideal for gift giving, it also gives users a way to save their own wish list items in one place.” said Judith Levey, co-founder and chief marketing and strategy officer of desirelist. “We’ve all been there…seeing something on one of our social media feeds that we really, really want, or a movie we want to watch, or a book we want to read. With desirelist, instead of noting those desires down on the notes in your phone or being presumptuous and sending to your friends and family, you can easily curate and save everything in one list that you can re-visit when you are ready to view or purchase, and send your holiday wish link to someone when they ask you what you want for the holidays this year.”
