Get the Birthday Present You Really Want With Giftiki

Jesse Draper is creator and host of The Valley Girl Show, through which she’s become a spokesperson for startups and helped pioneer the way of new media content distribution. Formerly a Nickelodeon star, Draper is now CEO of Valley Girl‚ where she oversees the show and runs technology blog Lalawag.com.

For his birthday one year, Justin Stanislaw didn’t get the gift he really wanted: a trip to an Orlando Magic game.

But after adding up the cost of all the gifts and cards he received, Justin figured out that he could have actually made the game had everyone just collaborated. And that was the ah-ha moment that spawned Giftiki, a startup company that promotes gift-giving en masse.

Justin and his co-founder Bryan Jowers recently launched a more social side of Giftiki where celebrities ask for charitable donations instead of gifts. Fans and friends alike can then team up and give a gift to a cause. For Sofia Vergara, that cause was Dreams Without Borders.

Using gifting services — be it for birthdays, holidays or special events — puts “the power in the recipient’s hands,” Bryan says.

To hear Bryan’s brainstorming tips, watch the show above and tell us how you brainstorm in the comments below.
