YouGotaGift.com is a newly launched gifting service in the United Arab Emirates that offers personalized eGift Cards from popular stores that are delivered instantly by email, SMS and Facebook. In fact, YouGotaGift.com is the first service of its kind in the Middle East.
Unlike the traditional plastic gift card, this service saves the gift sender the hassle of having to make a trip to the mall to purchase one, instead they can conveniently gift from the comfort of their home by computer or mobile device. The benefit to the gift receiver is that they can shop for a gift of their choice!
It’s quite a unique experience, as it’s like a combination of a greeting card and a gift card rolled into one. The eGift Card can be personalized with a greeting, a message and a photo, and can also be scheduled for delivery at a later date.
This is ideal for any occasion, whether a birthday, a baby shower or a house warming, as YouGotaGift.com offers a variety of brands in fashion, beauty, wellness, electronics, kids, entertainment and more.
Currently, the eGift Cards can only be sent to people residing in the United Arab Emirates and Lebanon. However, with the large expat community living in Dubai and Abu Dhabi, the service has become a convenient medium for friends and family to easily gift from Canada, United States, United Kingdom, Australia and virtually anywhere in the world!
