Work-at-Home Mom Finds a Creative Way to Re-Gift at TheGiftSwap.com

Winter Garden, FL, May 14, 2009 --(PR.com)-- For work-at-home mom, Preya Shivdat saving a buck or two is always on her mind. That’s why she started sharing her idea of “gift swapping” with a few friends and a new money saving Web site, TheGiftSwap.com.

“I usually have a reserve closet with items I find on sale or overflowing with toys that my kids receive for birthdays and holidays,” said Shivdat “I wanted to find a way to make use of the items without donating or throwing them out so I started swapping with friends when they had birthday parties to attend. This system has saved us hundreds of dollars every year.”

Shivdat continues to save money while still enjoying gift giving on a budget and without the embarrassment of re-gifting.

At TheGiftSwap.com members join for Free and swap new gifts with others that have an upcoming gift-giving event. The goal is for members to join the online “Swap Meet” with others in their local area. The message boards enable members to share their need for a new gift for an upcoming event, such as children’s birthday parties, bridal showers or even a housewarming.

Unlike other online “swap” sites, TheGiftSwap.com only swaps new items with the intention of the receiver giving it away as a gift. Members can leave feedback on the site for others to view so all of the participants are encouraged to give as well as receive. All items must be new and in the original packaging or with the tags still attached.

For additional information on how TheGiftSwap.com can help you save money, contact them at info@thegiftswap.com.
