To Drip Diamonds and Rubies

Apparently David Beckham and wife Victoria Beckham (former singer in the Spice Girls band) are at it again. Victoria gifted David a £265,000 ($428,000) worth Rolls-Royce Phantom, the world’s most luxurious car over Christmas 2011. David, not to be left behind, returned the favor in equal measure. What was his gift to her? Well, this time it was a diamond necklace worth £1.2 million.

A Gift Worthy Of A Queen

This fancy necklace by jeweler Boucheron is made of white gold, with a pendant formed of two huge rubies and a diamond. This one necklace has more than a 100 glorious blood-red rubies sitting amongst the diamonds. After all, the Beckhams are modern-day pop royalty, and it’s perfectly all right for them to splurge like this.

What Did You Get For Your Queen?

It’s a great idea, to gift fabulous jewelry to your wife. Seeing a finely designed necklace or bangle is a sure way to make her swoon. Make a special effort for her birthday this year.

Yes, do suggest that your wife pick up an exquisitely crafted necklace. It will be a great treat to see your wife enjoying the envious glances showered on her by friends and relatives.

Special Anniversaries with Woohoo!

Our 10^th wedding anniversary was coming up and we wanted to share this day with our near and dear ones. As we got down to inviting them, our parents surprised us with a visit and blessing us, lavished us with gifts. As we unwrapped our gifts, we were spellbound to receive gift vouchers for both of us from Gitanjali Jewels, with beautiful and thought provoking personal messages. We thanked them from the bottom of our hearts. They left us to our jobs soon after, but not before we promised to redeem our gifts before the D-day.

Jazz up you Day with Gitanjali Jewels

Most of the preparations for the big day were over; the venue was set up and delicious cuisines arranged. It definitely felt very special to be receiving a Gitanjali Gift voucher, more so from our parents. We were excited as kids and were raring to go and select it. What a range of products Gitanjali gifts had to offer! Jewellery in every possible way, with gold, embedded with diamonds, platinum and silver jewelry, gold coins, and fashion jewelry. Not to forget beautiful wrist watches, solitaires, and spiritual artifacts. We were spoilt for choice!

The party started and as predicted, our parents walked in first with the most exquisite flowers. My husband showed off his platinum band with much joy. My gift was a pair of gorgeous diamond danglers which sparkled in the moonlight! We also managed to get the idol of Trilokpati Ganeshji for our home. Our parents were much delighted at our choice of gifts. What a novel way to be gifted on your wedding day! – Shilpa Aggarwal

Make Father’s Day Memorable with Gift Cards

The third Sunday of June is round the corner and it’s that special day to celebrate and honour the role of fathers in families and society. It’s a day to commemorate the special nature of paternal bonds. While in many countries, the day is declared as a public holiday; in India it’s catching up as an occasion to rejoice about fatherhood with cute and lovable gifts for fathers. You can make the Father’s Day this year on 17^th June a great gifting occasion on your calendar, for showing your love and affection to your Dad. You can plan for a timeless gift that he can cherish for a long time or a simple gift that he can use in his everyday life.

Though you would know exactly what your Dad has been wanting for a gift; why not change the scenario this year by gifting a gift card. It’s convenient, hassle free and gives your father the freedom to shop from multiple outlets at his convenience. A gift card is also unique in the sense that, by giving your father the freedom of choice; it makes the gifting and redeeming the gift, both a truly enjoyable process. Gift cards are also a great option for sons and daughters who are miles away from their Dads and want to send a token of appreciation for the vital role he played in your life.

What to gift on Father’s Day

Electronics: All men young or old are always fascinated by technology and gadgets. In India, gifting electronics through gift cards is emerging as a popular option. You don’t have to go to the showroom to see the products and its features or even lug it around to your father’s home. A gift cart from Flipkart.com or Letsbuy.com, which are popular destinations for online electronic shopping, can take the strain out of buying for electronic gifts. Just purchase the gift card and let your father enjoy the comfort of shopping for the latest gadgets in the comfort of home, without sweating it out on the streets.

Garments: Clothes have always been a perfect and lovable gift for all occasions. Because your father will be wearing it proudly, you don’t want anything to go wrong with the selection. Modern men are very conscious about their personal fashion, and if the cut or sleeves or color of the garment is not to his liking; it will end up in the closet without ever being used. That is why gifting garments through gift cards are always the best option.

Watches: Men always have a fascination for great watches. But this is also a gift, where the selection is best left to your father. A gift card can help your father go and buy a classic or modern watch, suiting his taste and requirements. Gift cards for watches are also perfect to be sent over long distances. Just log on to the website of the gift card company (eg: Woohoo.in) and select the gift card of your choice. After making the payment, the gift card company will package the card beautifully and deliver it to your father promptly; keeping you away from all the hassles of couriering and tracking the delivery. Now isn’t that a wonderful way to gift?

The Power of Gifting!

Teaching is my passion and I adore children. So I couldn’t ask for more when I landed a job as an English tutor for Korean children. My days were filled with surprises and I got beautiful insights of their country, culture, language, lifestyle, habits and much more. The initial days were challenging; but sign language saved the day. The kids were quite a handful and the days just flew!

Happy Birthday with Woohoo

One sunny day, one of my students invited me for his birthday. I was so happy for him and wanted to give him something he would treasure for years to come. Then started my quest for his birthday gift. I thought of many ideas, but none of them appealed to me and I was at cross roads. Accidently, I chanced upon Gift Big and I zeroed on the World of Titan Gift Card. The boy was stepping into his teens and a zappy watch was what he would love. The power of gifting is so thrilling!

The Time is Right for Titan

His birthday arrived and I waited with bated breath to see his reaction when I gave him his birthday gift. He hugged me tight and thanked me profusely for such a thoughtful gesture. In the next class, he proudly showed me the digital watch he had picked up from Titan. It had different time zones, alarm setup facility, great design and color, stylish dial, days of the week, seconds and timer display, a light and a sturdy strap. It was evident from his cheerful face that he enjoyed the freedom of being able to choose his gift. Three cheers to Woohoo! It made gifting an enriching experience for me! – Suhasini Harish

A Wonderful Eating Experience with Woohoo!

I had just moved to Bangalore and out of the blue, a familiar voice called me up one fine day. While I was still guessing who the caller was, my classmate invited me over to catch up for old time’s sake! And there was much more. She had taken the pains to arrange for our whole gang (6 of us) to meet up after so many years. My joy knew no bounds; though we had been in touch over Facebook and Skype, the thought of meeting in person was indeed delightful.

For Old Time’s Sake

I got all excited and went into thinking how to make this reunion memorable. I wanted to gift each of my friends something unique to mark the occasion. Racking my brains for the right gift was too much! Then I remembered that all of us were foodies and enjoyed a good meal. My neighbor had introduced me to Woohoo.in just that week, she was happy with the gifting ideas.

Memorable Gifts From Woohoo

A quick browse and my gifts were set. The reunion was fabulous. Each of us gushing and squealing like little girls slowly settled down to beautiful memories and achievements, disappointments; we were indeed happy to share our memories amongst ourselves. Time flew and soon it was time for goodbyes. On a parting note, I gifted each of my friends gift vouchers from different eating joints like 13^thFloor Lounge, On the Edge Restaurant, Café Coffee Day, Mainland China, Machan Restaurant and Ebony Restaurant. Each gift had personalized notes written on them. I never imagined that gifting was so easy and memorable! A huge thank you to Woohoo! – Mridula Jayavelu

Gifting Exclusive Perfumes

David Beckham, the celebrity football star, and his wife Victoria Beckham have a long tradition of buying each other expensive gifts. This time, it was wife Victoria’s turn to break the record and gift husband David Beckham the world’s most exclusive cologne. Clive Christian No: 1 is considered the world’s most expensive perfume costing over 2,000 USD for an ounce. But that was not exclusive enough for Victoria. She specially commissioned a one-of-a-kind bottle of Clive Christian for her husband made in crystal and diamond. It took 6 months to produce this fragrance, and it is estimated that the cost of this exquisite gift was well over 50, 000 USD.

Jazz Up your Kitchen with Woohoo!

DearWoohoo.in, I am writing this letter to tell you how you’ve changed my life for the better. I am a homemaker, and a very diligent one at that. I am very particular about the brand, looks and durability of my kitchen utensils. I wish I could spend a lot of money on my kitchen, but my husband always steers me away from such shopping.

Then My Birthday Rolled Around

My husband asked me if I’d like jewelry, or maybe a new dress or a silk saree for my birthday. My mind was still hung up on my kitchen; so I told him that I would love to refresh our kitchen with new things of high utility value. I saw him frown at my response and decided not to pursue the topic. After all, it takes a good amount of money to buy several things for the kitchen and replace outdated items. It’s not as simple as buying a silk saree.

Kitchen Stuff Galore!

On the day of my birthday, my husband surprised me with a beautiful package from Woohoo.in. Guess what? It contained two gift cards, both for generous amounts, from TTK Prestige and Home Stop. I pestered my husband till he told me the whole story. Apparently, my husband, my in-laws, my parents and my siblings had decided to pool in to buy me a ‘joint’ birthday gift. So instead of sarees this birthday, I had a fabulous amount to spend on all the pots, pans and kitchen stuff that I needed!

I bought the latest cookers, pans, pots, non-stick cookware, ladles and fabulous kitchen appliances and designer cookware from TTK Prestige & Home Stop. My kitchen looks great now, just the way I wanted it to be. I couldn’t be happier!

Gift Cards are the Way to Go!

I am the black sheep in my family. Many events and momentous occasions come and go, but I never have a suitable gift with me. Some people are so good at planning what gifts to buy for a particular occasion and what gifts would suit a particular personality. I lack the talent and time to think and browse for suitable gift options for the special people in my life.

The Only One Without A Gift

I got so caught up at work all of last week that I completely forgot that it was my sister’s birthday yesterday. I went to wish her and felt like an absolute loser as she stared at my empty hands. That was when I decided it was time to do something about my lack of gifting ideas.

Why did I Never Think Of Gift Cards Before?

A friend sent me the link for Woohoo.in and I was pleasantly surprised. It’s the simplest and the grandest solution to my ‘gift handicap’! Now I buy gift cards in advance from over 100 top-of-the-line brands on Woohoo.in. I can get the cards delivered at my home and present them proudly with personalized messages (no more empty hands, hurrah!).

For my sister who loves diamond jewelry, it’s a Tanishq gift card. For my mother, it’s an YLG Salon & Spa card for a day of pampering and a Fastrack card for my brother who loves cool and funky accessories. For my father, who’s a dedicated bookworm, a gift card from Flipkart does the trick. You should see the smiles on their faces! Suddenly, I am the most popular one in the family! Thank you for making gifting so easy, Woohoo!

A Unique Way to Say Thank You!

I was caught in a painful quandary. I’d just been informed that I had to leave for the US in just one week on a critical, long-term assignment. I had to pay bills, run last minute errands, pack and get my travel documents ready. One week was just not enough to wind up things at one place and start afresh somewhere else.

Time Was The Essence

I had no time to connect with my friends and family and thank them for everything they had done for me. There was no time to buy any gifts. So many people to thank, my neighbor, who had kindly offered to take care of my dog Ranger; my mom and dad and sister – the list was endless.

A Few Minutes Online Was All It Took

A helpful colleague suggested buying gifts from Woohoo.in . I really couldn’t see how an online gift certificate store was going to help, but I gave it a try anyway. It turned out to be a wonderful experience! There were so many brands to choose from, besides free special packaging and delivery.

The Best Was Yet To Come

A gift card, even from a great brand, is still an impersonal gift. How do I make it personal? As I started ordering, I realized that one could actually add a personal message with the cards! Problem solved! I gleefully typed messages of love and thank you to everyone – words of gratitude that came from my heart. It took all of 20 minutes to complete the order. Woohoo.in lightened the load on my heart! Thank you, for this amazing site!

Happy Mother’s Day with Woohoo!

It’s tough to find the right gift for my mother. She has such excellent taste and already owns so many beautiful things that I am never sure what to gift her. For Mother’s Day this year, I wanted to get her something that would make a difference; something that she would treasure and always remember with a smile.

Why Not Gift An Experience?

The other day, I overheard my mother talking to our neighbor, telling her how absolutely stressed she was. When I overheard this, I thought why not gift her the stress buster she desperately needs? After much deliberation, I bought her a generous gift card from YLG Salon & Spa from Woohoo.in, for a full day of luxurious spa treatment.

No time to Visit

I usually courier my mother’s gifts; and this time, I again opted for direct delivery from GWoohoo.in. Work is always my excuse for not visiting. My mother never complains about me not visiting and I thought she understood my work constraints. I didn’t bother to find out.

Surprise!

On Mother’s Day, my doorbell rang and there was a surprise package for me from W for a day at YLG Salon & Spa. There was a one-line message from my mother along with my card that said, ‘Happy Mother’s Day to you too’. With these words, my mother made me feel really good about my motherhood! That day, my mother and I had a fabulous time soaking in the luxurious manicures, head massages, pedicures, facials and new hairdos together at the YLG Salon & Spa. We spent quality time together and had a great time, all thanks to this cute way of gifting from Woohoo.in!
