• Like and dislike products. If you like a product on the homepage, Giftapart shows you more similar products to help you see and find what you want. If you dislike it, you help Giftapart know how to improve your homepage shopping experience. You can see the list of previously liked products and remove products from this list.

• Engage and have a conversation with others about a product, learn about the item from other Giftapart users, share stories, media, and more.

Gift registry

• Use Giftapart’s revolutionary, patent-pending gift registry system for one or more items you want to get. Use it for yourself or setup a gift list for a friend.
• Unique fun, fast and easy crowdfunding breaks up the gift into affordable parts so everyone can easily chip-in to the gifts.
• Decorate your gift items with beautiful bows and gift wrap options to make your gift extra special and reflective of your personality.
• Place the items you really want first, and get the gifts in the order you select (a world-first).
• Mix items from various retailers in one list. Items are shipped directly to the gift recipient from the retailer as soon as they are funded.
• Make it easy for your contributors — all they do is select the number of parts to buy, pay, and they’re done. No longer is there a need to hunt through dozens of pages of items, gift givers simply are directed to your gift list, click on the parts to buy, and make payment. It’s super easy and fast. They’ll love it.
• Gift givers can buy parts, and then own those parts forever, so they feel connected to the gifting. Plus they can leave a greeting or message with the gift parts they bought, that is permanently linked to their parts.
• Easy to share the gift registry list with family and friends using the built-in tools (email, across all major social media platforms, and text message).
• A dedicated social media feed within Giftapart keeps all the social comments together, plus friends can upload pictures and video too to the gift feed.
• Link your gift list or wish list, or both, to your event so that your gift list is easy to find to your invited guests (see Event Planning below).
• Reorganize the order of the gifts at anytime, or select “Group by retailer” to save on shipping. Often, retailers have free shipping when the total order reaches a certain amount, so “Group by retailer” will only execute the order when all the items you grouped together get funded, saving you shipping and keeping more money for your actual gifts.
• Simply click on the parts to see which parts each gift giver purchased and their comments linked to those parts. Also, every part and comment associated with a part is cross-linked so that you can quickly find the parts and linked comments, and vice-versa.
• Gift givers who don’t want to click on parts can simply select to provide a “custom contribution.” These gift givers only have to enter an amount and pay. Giftapart automatically associates an equal value of parts to their contribution.
• Gift pages can be customized with header pictures. Select from options available on Giftapart or upload your own picture.
• Gift lists can be made “private” so that you can setup a gift for a coworker, family or friend without them knowing about the gift. If it’s set as “private,” only those with the special link can see and contribute to the gift. Your gift receiver will be surprised and will love reading all the special comments from the gift contributors that are linked to all the parts.
• You can make a gift list for anyone, even for someone who is not a registered user of Giftapart.
• See all your Giftapart friends’ gift lists so you can easily contribute to them if you want.
