I'm surprised there isn't a service like this,
for "scheduled dispatch" of gifts. [+] |
|
|
Isn't this why one employs a butler? |
|
|
If it could spread the payments throughout the year and also choose the gifts itself (perhaps by choosing the most popular gift in your price range for other people of the recipient's age/gender, etc.) then I'd sign up in a shot. |

Partially very baked in Japan where there is the tradition of new year and mid year gift exchanging. All the department stores have gift sections where one can supply a list of recipients and allocate a gift to each from the special selections displayed. |
|
|
The store handles everything else - wrapping (beautifully, beautifully wrapping, I mean seriously beautiful, tasteful, georgeous, wonderful, stunning presentation wrapping) and delivering all your gifts. The stores have had this same service on their websites for many years. |
|
|
Your idea is a slight expansion of this concept in that you propose scheduling for a range of occasions throughout the coming year - I think this service would be utilised by the chronically organised obsessive personality, rather than the pathetic personality. |

Also, you'd better hope you don't pass away just after paying for your full schedule - talk about messages from the grave!! |
