[ibimage==20531==Original==none==self==ibimage_align-left]It's been exactly one year since we launched Giftbar...and what a year it's been! For those who haven't heard of us yet, Giftbar is an online marketplace that allows you to purchase and personalize gift cards from high end, independent retailers and send them via email, mobile and mail.
We offer an insanely curated list of the best merchants from the best neighborhoods, providing a convenient and thoughtful way to digitally gift. We see gift giving as a reflection of one's self, and often how you gift a present is just as important as what you gift. Giftbar modernizes the gift card and allows you to beautifully package and instantly send a gift card that is a true reflection of the individual you are gifting.
After launching last year, we were fortunate to be able to secure 1M in Angel Funding. We have since gone on to build an amazing team and in turn rebrand and rebuild our site to offer some amazing features and add some incredible new merchants. You can now still sort through our curated list of local merchants, and choose your favorites to send. You can even ask our GiftbarTender to help you pick which merchant works best by answering a few simple questions. If you're still not sure which merchant to choose, then send a Giftbar of Choice, our universal gift card that can be shown and used at any Giftbar merchant. New this year, we are also offering our Giftbar Mixers, which are 3 incredible merchants mixed into one awesome gift card experience. Even better, all of our gift cards can be customized with fun and beautiful digital wrappings, photos and a personal message.
We are so thankful to all of our merchants and customers who have shown us so much support over the last year, and we can't wait to share our new site. We hope all of our Built in Chicago friends will check us out, as we are so proud to be a Chicago Start Up! Oh, and about that $500, when you register on Giftbar, we are giving you $500 in promotional gift cards to spend or gift away! So please visit Giftbar this holiday season and let us help you send the perfect gift, every time! https://www.giftbar.com
