Who we are
What is Givin Gifts?
Givin Gifts is a platform that matches people around the world who want to spread a little joy amongst people. Users register for a gift exchange, are matched and then send a gift to a mystery giftee, all whilst receiving a gift from a mystery sender themselves.
Our history
We were founded by a community of like-minded people in 2021 after it was announced that Reddit would be sunsetting Reddit Gifts at the end of the year. We are a UK based company limited by guarantee, which basically means that we cannot pay those involved a dividend from shares. It means that any money the company makes must go back into the company and the causes that it supports.
Mission statement
Givin Gifts is a community and organization founded on the belief that spreading gifts and cheer in the world helps to make it a better place for us all. Our mission is not only to enable gift giving on a global scale, but to also encourage philanthropy to various causes. The best gifts are given freely, and so we also strive to make Givin Gifts free to enable the spreading of cheer and charity worldwide. Your support will help us to continue.
Ginger and Snap
You may have noticed our mascots around Givin Gifts. They like to pose for each of our official exchanges each month. Our mascots are Ginger, the red panda, and Snap, the husky. We decided early in Givin Gifts' history to have two mascots instead of one, as across Givin Gifts you will be paired with another person across the world, and both Ginger and Snap love to share gifts with each other.
You can see concept art of Ginger and Snap with a premium membership or even buy cute plushies.
