It’s the most wonderful time of the year. Well, almost! That’s right, the holiday season is upon us which means it’s time to start shopping for thoughtful gifts our friends and family will actually love. This time of year can also mean lots of stress and headaches as we wrack our brains trying to figure out exactly what that perfect gift will be.

No one wants to be known as the person in the crew who gives bad gifts, but finding just the right item is not as easy as it sounds. Luckily, it’s technology to the rescue with gift-giving apps that help you find, curate, and deliver customized gifts without losing your holiday spirit.

Giftster
Have a hard time trying to figure out what to get for family and friends? Giftster solves that dilemma by allowing you to create groups where they can share the items they’d love to have, the color they want, size and more. Then, all you have to do is ship the items directly to their door (or buy it in person) so that you know they’re getting something they’ll really love (and want).
