Shopafor is a social media gifting platform that offers gift recommendations with artificial intelligence. The platform's advanced algorithms are designed to increase the chances of purchasing the perfect gift and address the fact that most gift ideas are based on the buyer having a general idea of what the recipient likes best. Shopafor helps to take the guesswork out of purchasing a gift for an unfamiliar recipient. On the platform, users are able to search for gift ideas by different age groups from Baby all the way to Adult.
Shopafor founder and CEO Chris Herbert was inspired to create the platform following his daughter's first birthday, where she received toys and clothes for kids in different age categories.
