# Experiential Gifting Apps The GiftyOne Platform Allows Users to Send Experiential Gifts By Katherine Pendrill | Published 2016-05-03 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/giftyone References: [betalist](http://betalist.com/startups/giftyone) & [gif](http://www.gif) 'GiftyOne' is a mobile platform that helps users give experiential gifts to others. While gift cards are an easy option when time is limited, gift cards are often seen as lazy and impersonal. This platform combines the ease of picking a gift card with the personal touch that comes from finding a more meaningful present. GiftyOne is a user-friendly platform for choosing experiential gifts. The app features a selection of curated experiences that are tailored to the recipient's exact preferences. The recipient can then redeem their gift via email, text or [Facebook](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/noplace-app) message, meaning they do not need to even use the platform to receive their present. The idea is to make the process of giving an experiential gift as simple as picking up a gift card. While the iOS and Android apps are still in the development stage, the platform could soon change the face of experiential gift-giving. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.8/10 - Popularity: 8% | Activity: 7% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Mobile](https://www.trendhunter.com/mobile) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Experiential Gift-giving:** The rise of platforms like GiftyOne that offer a user-friendly way to send experiential gifts presents the opportunity for disruptive innovation in the gift-giving industry. - **Curated Experiences:** The demand for curated experiences tailored to individual preferences creates an opportunity for innovation in the experiences and event planning industry. - **Mobile Gifting Platforms:** The development of mobile platforms for gifting experiences opens up possibilities for disruptive innovation in the mobile app development and technology industry. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Gift-giving:** The rise of platforms like GiftyOne that offer experiential gifts presents new opportunities for innovation in the gift-giving industry. - **Experiences and Events:** The demand for personalized and curated experiences creates an opportunity for innovation in the experiences and event planning industry. - **Mobile Apps:** The development of mobile platforms for gifting experiences offers possibilities for disruptive innovation in the mobile app development industry. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Digital Gifting Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/digital-gifting-platform.md) - [AI-Powered Social Gifting Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ai-powered-social-gifting-app.md) - [Digital Gift Makers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dearone.md) - [Digital Experience Gifting](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/memory-crate.md) - [Smart Gifting Assistants](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gyftpro.md) - [Digital Gift Creators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gifts-qr.md) - [Smart Gift Matching](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/thoughtful-aipowered-gift-adviser.md) - [Multi-Brand Digital Gift Cards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/on-me-multi-brand-gift-cards.md) - [AI-Powered Digital Gifting Experiences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/magical-moments.md)
