Introduction
- You may have received a gift from one of your Facebook friends, or noticed mention of Facebook gifts in your friends' news feeds. If one of your friends' birthdays is coming up, or you just want to let them know you're thinking of them, sending them a Facebook gift can be an inexpensive, and in some cases, free way to send them some cheer. Even if you've never done it before, sending a Facebook gift will only take a few minutes of your time.
Step 1: Log in in to Facebook
- Before you can send a gift to one of your friends, you'll have to log in to your Facebook account.
- Go to the Facebook homepage (www.facebook.com)
- Enter your user name in the appropriate box
- Enter your password in the appropriate box
- Press enter or click the "Login" button
Step 2: Add the Gift Application
- If you have not yet given or received a gift on Facebook, you will have to add the Facebook gift application
- Browse through the available Facebook applications or type the following URL in to your address bar: http://www.facebook.com/applications/Gifts/2386512837
- You should see an option that says "Add this Application" or "Sign Up!"—click on this option and follow the instructions to add the gifts application
Step 3: Select a Gift
- On the gifts application page, locate and click on the "Go to this application" option. If you have previously installed the gifts application, you can get to it by going to your profile and then clicking on the "Give a Gift" option in the "Gift" box, which will be located on the left hand side of your screen. If you do not see the gift box on your profile, you can get to it by going to your Applications page.
- You will then be provided with a visual list of all the available gifts. To the right of the gift options, you will see two lists. Using these lists, you can either:
- Browse gifts by category, or
- Sort the gifts by price, bestselling, and so on
- Above these lists, you will see a search box. By entering keywords in this box, you can search for gifts of a specific theme or type.
- Once you have chosen the gift you want to send, click on it to highlight it. The gift that is highlighted will be surrounded by a shaded gray box.
Step 4: Send Your Gift
- After you have selected your desired gift, scroll down the page a bit until you see the the recipient and message boxes.
- Type the name of your gift recipient in the "Choose your recipient" box
- Type the message you want to accompany your gift in the "Add your message" box
- Select whether you want the gift to be public, private or anonymous
- When you are ready to send the gift, click the "Continue" button
Step 5: Purchase Credits
- Unless you have selected a free gift, or already have credits on your Facebook account, you will have to purchase some. If you need to purchase credits:
- A window will pop up, detailing how many credits your chosen gift costs and asking whether you want to buy 100, 500 or 1,000 credits
- Select how many credits you want to buy and then click on the continue button
- You will then be taken to a page on which you can enter your credit card information
- Once you have entered all the required information, click on the "Complete Purchase" button
- After your purchase has been completed, you should then receive a notification that your gift has been sent
Conclusion
- If you weren't able to mail out a card or present for one of your friend's birthdays or only realized that it was their birthday after seeing all the "Happy Birthday!" messages on their Facebook profile, don't despair—you can still send them an e-gift using the Facebook Gifts application.
