Creating ripples of happiness
“Let us be grateful to the people who make us happy; they are the charming gardeners who make our souls blossom.” ― Marcel Proust
20th March has been marked as the International Day of Happiness by the United Nations. This day commemorates the adoption of the UN resolution, in 2011, which saw happiness as a “fundamental human goal”.
The International Day of Happiness was conceptualized by Jayme Illien with the belief that happiness is a basic human right for all human beings and that the “happiness movement” (supported and promoted by the likes of Pharrell Williams among others) is the key to achieving individual and global happiness.
The feeling of happiness and contentment comes from being aware and acknowledging the immense blessings and love that fill our lives. And how do we multiply this sense of happiness? We share it with others around us and see the ripples it creates.
This International Day of Happiness, make it a point to start your own happiness movement in your everyday life. Be it your family, friends, colleagues or acquaintances – reach out, connect and thank them for the little joys they bring into your life.
The Woohoo app makes it easy for you to do that by combining various features. It helps you convey your message with personalized electronic gift vouchers that are delivered instantly to your loved ones, anywhere in the country. Share memories with photographs from your gallery, add a voice note or a text message or simply use one of the many templates the app offers to best communicate your thoughts.
And while you’re at it, we’ll be happy knowing that we’ve helped create those little ripples of happiness.

Woohoo launches its new gifting campaign
As appeared on exchange4media.com on 11 March 2016.
—————————————————————————————
Woohoo, the go-to platform for gifting by Qwikcilver solutions, recently engaged with consumers to ask them: ‘What would really make them happy?’ in the context of gifting. This was done through a recently launched video: https://youtu.be/-C5Oszqz2fA
The campaign talks about how ‘We think we know everything about our loved ones. But do we really?’
A selection of different people that included siblings, mother-daughter and married couples were put through a small test. As part of the test, they were asked a simple question on what they would gift their loved ones to make them truly happy. An interesting observation that was noted at the end of the video was that the majority of people did not know what their loved ones actually wanted as a gift.
Woohoo presented the solution to this problem in the form of a small gift box in front of the participants, which comprised a mobile phone with the Woohoo app downloaded and a Woohoo gift card. This is the simplest and the most powerful way to gift someone we love, the freedom of choice from a world of brands, services and experiences.

#theSuperGift
We asked a few people what they thought would make their loved ones really happy. The result? Most got it wrong.
No matter how much we THINK we know our loved ones’ choices, it’s not ALWAYS possible for us to get it right. With Woohoo, you gift your loved ones EXACTLY what they want, by gifting them the power to choose from a wide range of products and services across the best brands.
Gifts to congratulate your wife on her promotion
It’s a day to be proud of when one’s spouse is acknowledged for her efforts at the workplace. It’s not every day that we are acknowledged by our peers and celebrated by our seniors. When that happens, it’s time to party and celebrate. Show her how proud you are of her achievement by gifting her something special.
Give her what you know she likes:
What do you have in mind? A mega shopping trip for all the goodies her heart could desire? Then don’t hesitate. Buy a gift voucher or card from a brand like Lifestyle, Shoppers’ Stop or Central. If you want a more brand-specific shopping experience, consider Marks & Spencer, Allen Solly or Van Heusen. Hand her the card and accompany her, helping with her shopping bags, and it’ll be the best gift you ever gave her.
It’s time to pull out the ace in your sleeve:
If you’ve been planning something very special from a long time, now’s the time to make it happen. Don’t wait for your wedding anniversary or her birthday. Both those occasions are celebration-worthy, but nothing will beat this moment of pride in this achievement.
So if you’ve been planning a nice long trip together, you could gift her a gift card from MakeMyTrip or Cleartrip. Both these companies offer complete travel packages, starting from airline tickets to hotel stays and car rentals. The cards are valid for several months, so you will have enough time to plan the vacation. Enjoy a trip of a lifetime with her!

Gifts to congratulate your husband on his promotion
It’s a moment of pride for your husband. It takes a lot of hard work and dedication in any industry to be promoted to a better position. A promotion brings with it a better pay and perks. Moreover, it’s the satisfaction of knowing that he’s been acknowledged as a top performer by his peers and seniors. The pride that comes with that fact is unbeatable.
Mark This Momentous Occasion With A Suitable Gift:
The day he gets his promotion is the day your husband will remember throughout the year. Seal this day into his memory by commemorating it with a fabulous gift. How about a classy watch from Helios or Titan? Traditionally, a watch has been the most suitable gift to mark a momentous occasion, especially for a man. Professional men take pride in wearing classy watches to work because the watch adds to the image. Buy a gift card from your husband’s favorite watch brand and let him select the watch that he’ll be proud to display on his wrist for a long time.
Explore Gift Options That Will Add More Shine To His Image:
A gift card from Crossword, for him to select a fine, collection-item pen or a gift card from P. N Rao or Van Heusen for that classy suit would make ideal thoughtful gifts. Your husband’s promotion means greater responsibilities and perhaps even more travel. How about a new smartphone from Croma or E-zone to manage his enhanced business requirements?
If you would like to keep the options open for him, to let him choose from across the different brands and products or services that he would love, you could choose to gift him a Woohoo gift card. This is one card which does not bind him to only pick products or services from one particular brand. Instead, with this gift card, he could choose from across a wide range of brands according to his own choice – be it from Amazon, Flipkart, Marks & Spencer, Levi’s, Allen Solly and the like.
There’s are endless options available to you. So why play the guessing game? Pass on these options to him and accompany him in picking up the gifts of his choice. After all, your husband will always remember the day of his promotion and your pride in him and his achievements, reflected in your gift.
