Facebook rolled out a new gifting service last week, just in time for the holidays. Facebook Gifts, which was in beta for a few weeks, now lets all U.S. Facebook users send a real gift to friends through the social network.
Giving a gift is simple: Navigate to your friend’s profile and click the Gift button. Next, Facebook will populate the area with three gifts, or you can click “See More Gifts” for additional options.
You can search the available products by category, such as food; fun; wine; home and kitchen; beauty and body; fashion and accessories; flowers and gift baskets; baby and kids; digital; and gifts that give back, which are donations to charities.
Once you’ve chosen a gift you can pick out a card to accompany it. The cards are searchable based on the occasion, such as holidays, birthday, thank you, baby, get well, graduation and wedding.
