This week’s #followfriday I am introducing OneBigPresent which is owned by Michelle Mohindra . Michelle wanted to offer people an alternative service when it comes to buying people gifts. Michelle tells us all about why OneBigPresent was created.
I decided to take the steps to create OneBigPresent when I became increasingly frustrated by the lack of gift options as a guest at weddings and birthdays and as someone who often gave cash gifts at special occasions I was never too keen on the tradition of leaving a cash envelope on a table. The fact that my husbands family are Indian, and give cash gifts for absolutely EVERYTHING, may also have been a contributing factor, but equally as mum to two gadget mad kids I always felt bad when they received gifts that we all knew they would never use!
Ever practical, and with many of us tightening our belts in this economic downturn, I decided to create a neat way of assisting people with that sometimes awkward task of requesting cash gifts for their special occasion and, at the same time, create a secure collection platform for their party/wedding guests! It has taken a great deal of time and patience to get the website to where it is now, but I am extremely proud of what it can achieve!
Not only does it provide each ‘host’ with their own mini web page and guest book as well as the option to upload further vital information, but it also offers a fantastic selection of ‘extras’ from email invites right through to thank-you for each guest as soon as their contribution is received!
My favourite ‘occasion’ to date was the Civil Partnership of Hugh and Joe which took place in Ireland earlier this year! Their account closed with an amazing sum of money which they had requested for an extra special trip to New York, but, more importantly they LOVED OneBigPresent and still rave about our service. That means the world to me!
Finally I should mention that registration with OneBigPresent is completely free and our percentage fees are capped so that you always know exactly where you stand. Please stop by and check us out:
