This September, Givin Gifts is the place to be!

Whether it’s some random fun with our flagship Whimsical Day Exchange, sweet treats in Candy Day, sharing love and support with our Mental Health Day, rehoming some bits from your home in Random Things From The House, or getting your spooky season started with All Hallows Day…we have something for everyone this month!

There’s also our incredible September Patron exchange, Earthly Treasures, where you can explore all the things that come from the earth be it dinosaurs or gems!

Announcement Project Phoenix is now live!

21 Upvotes

**Project Phoenix is now live.**

*Notes*

- If you have received a "you have been suspended" notification and weren't expecting it, please reach out to support. There was a lot of data reconciliation in this migration.

- Recommended exchanges based on tags and your history will start appearing in a couple of days once enough data has built up.

- Special awards will be appearing in the gallery... once we decide what posts are getting the first awards!

- Most users won't have access to this functionality; but for those that do - modifying matches is currently disabled whilst I make some changes.

- If our bad actor detection just banned you, but you previously reached out to support about this; please contact us. We were unable to account for manual support overrides in the transition.

*Backlog*

- I've attached an image of our current backlog that we'll be doing over the next week or two.

- New mobile app will be live in the app store once Google and Apple approve the version I just pushed.

*Merchandise*

New merchandise! (We're expecting the pins to arrive in the immediate future, I've put March 1st in case for some reason they take longer to arrive.) - https://givin.gifts/explore/merchandise

*Finally...*

- Automation is disabled for the next few days so we can keep an eye on all of the new processes. Exchanges will run during the day (GMT) to ensure we're available to resolve any issues.

- Please let us know of any issues in the discord bug reports channel, there are bound to be some teething issues at scale.

Discussion Exchanges not Closing

6 Upvotes

I currently have 4 exchanges (2 Official + 2 User) that have been completed (both gifts received and posted) but have not closed themselves out.

Is this happening to anyone else or is it just me?

Coupled with the fact that I have 2 Exchanges that I was No-Gifted on and I am waiting on a Rematch, half of my Exchange Slots are occupied for no reason.

For context, I submitted a support ticket several days ago, but it has not been answered.

Question feature request: monthly or subscription email of exchanges upcoming

5 Upvotes

Would like to request either a monthly or a subscription of official exchanges (aka specific reoccurring yearly official exchanges like Christmas, etc) via email.

I dont think to check here monthly, but have you guys on my email whitelist and i get emails for active exchanges (when I remember to subscribe to them).

Answered Returning after some time

5 Upvotes

Hi guys, thought I ask the whole bunch here and not support, they have enough to do and you guys probably know how to help me.
I haven’t been online here for a bit over a year or two, now I am back, things changed. I want to edit my profile, the text, but I don’t know how… somehow I am not seeing where I can edit my profile.
If it matters, I’m on an iPhone..

Question Matching Exchange Emails

5 Upvotes

I sign up for an exchange, but I’m not getting emails saying that I was matched or the exchange is ready and so I just looked in and here I have two exchanges I signed up for, and I don’t even know that I was matched. And I don’t wanna be late sending somebody their gift but I didn’t even know I was matched and I never got an email and I checked my spam folder, so is this something that’s a glitch, is anybody else having this issue?

Question Are a percentage of gifters in the U.S.?

7 Upvotes

I saw that givingifts.com is based in the UK. Are there some gifters from the U.S. as well?
How strict are the location preferences?; If I have my settings set to Domestic>Drop, is there still a chance I will be matched with someone international/worldwide?

Help with submitted ticket

I submitted a ticket 3 days ago regarding a gift exchange I signed for but have not received a response. I am not sure where else to go as the matter is rather urgent. How can I get some assistance? Thank you!

Last chance: Halloween & Whimsical Day sign-ups close October 5!

Last chance: Halloween & Whimsical Day sign-ups close October 5!

The latest batch of official Givin Gifts exchanges is open, but there's not much time left to sign up. If you've been thinking about joining, now's the time!

All Hallows Day is the Halloween-themed exchange, perfect for anyone who enjoys spooky decorations, costumes, candy, creepy collectibles, or just wants an excuse to send someone a fun Halloween gift.

Whimsical Day is a more open-ended exchange where you can surprise your match with something fun, unusual, quirky or simply something you think they'll love. If you remember Reddit Gifts' Arbitrary Day, this one has a similar anything-goes spirit.

Both exchanges are open for sign-ups until October 5, with a shipping deadline of October 19.

All Hallows Day

Whimsical Day

There are also four other official exchanges in this batch:

September Patron
Random Things From the House
Mental Health Day
Candy Day

Check out the exchanges and join in before sign-ups close!

Question Question About Premium Features + Question About Limitations

3 Upvotes

I have been on Givin Gifts for a couple months now and I love it.

I am thinking about paying for premium features and am wondering how it affects your experience with Givin Gifts? I looked at all the benefits but am just wondering from user perspectives if they like it.

Also (as a non premium user currently) I am confused as to why I can only join one exchange and then it tells me I have reached my limit? Can I only join 1 until it is completed? And if so, does paying for premium change this?

THANK YOU!!

Question Confused On What To Do

4 Upvotes

What do you do if your giftee doesn't use a name for their profile/address, they don't put in any exchange preferences/its blank, they have no profile with any introduction, likes, etc./it's blank. How can you give a gift to someone like that?

It's for the Ghibli Day (2026) exchange. I have 6 hours left to ship or order a gift, but I'm stuck and have also been busy 3ith life events i forgot i only have a certain amount of time to send a giftee their gift(s). I've done 10+ exchanges and ive never missed any deadlines, but this has me stumped and confused.

They don't even reply back to me when I messaged them. I didn't know someone could join an exchange without writing any information.

Maybe they're a kid and shouldn't really be on Givin Gifts? Their "name" is Team Rocket.

Unable to login

5 Upvotes

I’ve tried multiple times on different devices, and I can’t login. I click the login button after typing in my credentials and nothing happens. I’ve tried so many times the last several weeks and I also sent in a help request a week or two ago and still haven’t heard anything 😟. Has anyone else had this problem or know why I can’t login? And it’s not a forgotten password, it literally just doesn’t do Andy thing when I click the submit button to login.
