The document discusses how grandchildren have forgotten how to communicate with grandparents and how gifts are often aimed at white middle-class buyers. It also mentions how children now save birthday money in jars instead of cards and communicate through texts instead of thank you cards. The document proposes a business idea for customizable thank you cards that children can color and personalize to send with birthday money as a way to teach gratitude and bring communities together across generations and cultures. It seeks investment to help launch the business.
Remember when it was your girlfriend’s (or boyfriend’s) birthday, your parents’ anniversary, or your friend’s housewarming – you had to give them a gift, but had no clue what to give! We faced the same issue – countless no of times, and we know that this is a problem faced by one and all. This is exactly why we set up wishpicker – we help you figure out WHAT to gift!
You log on to wishpicker, fill in who you are looking to gift, what the occasion is, and other basic details, and that’s it – wishpicker provides you with great gift ideas, relevant for the person you are looking to gift. Yes, it really is that simple!
