on Saturday, July 2, 2011White elephant gifts are encased in value
There are many opportunities to enjoy free services on the internet. You can find free applications, free games and free advice in abundance right there in your browser. Imaginary white elephant gift giving is even joining the virtual and free application world.
But the real-world still includes real giving as a way of demonstrating love and support among family and friends. It seems hard to believe that this supportive tradition will ever be replaced with something that is completely free. Real gifts cost real money.

Can a Hug really be virtual?
on Monday, January 4, 2010
If you have learned anything from our blog, it is that we believe in REAL gifts, and we see virtual-images only as a tool to facilitate real gift giving among family and friends.

A virtual hug is a cheap disappointment, and we want to put human warmth into these social networks that are now connecting… Read the rest »
Why do online parties?
on Friday, December 18, 2009
We were interviewed for an article in the Conversation Agent blog, written by Valeria Maltoni. She asked why we are building an online party application. Here is my quote:
The tradition of supporting family and friends with gifts does not end when distance separates us. Nether does the desire to have a meaningful conversation with those that we love.

Hosting a party is a project – even when it moves online.
on Monday, December 14, 2009
Party hosting is not for the weak or timid. Successful parties are the result of the extraordinary efforts of a committed host.

A Christmas Party Doesn’t Have to be Expensive
By: Candace Martin
In these stretched economic times even festive celebrations are falling onto hard times. The past couple of Christmases have seen a bit of a downturn in the level that folks were willing to pay for gifts along with the celebration itself, and the upcoming season looks to be about the same.
