Company Summary

GiftStarter's patent-pending technology divides the perfect gift into "tiles," giving friends and family the ability to purchase as much or as little as they wish. Any product available online can be gifted through GiftStarter - simply search our catalog or contact our Gift Concierge. Once your gift is funded, we'll mail a handmade card featuring a personal message from each Gifter and ensure the gift is shipped for you.
