Website of the Day: Lolligift

GeekSugar — Fri, 31 Jul 2009 14:01:48 -0700

Technology is good for making office politics easier, if nothing else!

First GroupCard came out, eliminating the need to pass around a paper greeting card to say sayonara or Happy Birthday to a colleague, and now Lolligift has the same idea, only it's for pooling money together for group gifts.

Once you set it up by entering in the recipient, gift, and requested amount, you just send around the link to your participating co-workers, and people contribute their money via PayPal. Of course, this is good for more than just offices; use it to pool together funds for a big group present for a friend or family member, and so on.

Genius or Bogus: Gift Cards That Double as Speakers/Camera

GeekSugar — Wed, 12 Nov 2008 09:00:56 -0800

I'm one of the few who thinks there's nothing wrong with giving a gift card (especially because I love to get gift cards). If you have some reservations about them being boring gifts, then you may reconsider - Target is introducing gift cards that double as mini digital cameras, while Best Buy will have gift cards that are also speakers!

With such fun stuff built into the gift cards, you may not want to redeem them. These could also cease to take the wind out of people's sales that were expecting more than just a gift card. What do you think of this idea?
