I am working on a social-gifting application for Facebook (with my friends Tim Gorton and Rick Borovoy.)
CrowdGift is a fun, easy, and inexpensive way for a group of friends to send a nice, real (as in, not virtual) gift for someone's birthday or other special occasion. We have taken the "if" out of gifting by offering only a small set of our favorite hand-crafted gifts. Just pick one for your friend, chip in a few bucks and we'll use the magic of Facebook to get your friends to do the same. When enough people have chipped in, we'll notify your friend to arrange for delivery. No one pays a dime until the gift amount is reached.
