Dear Friends,
Father's Day Gifts have been added to Giftwala. This year we have a reasonable variety for you to choose from. Personally, we would recommend any one of the many Victorinox Swiss Army Knives, Dustbuster Auto (car vacuum) or if you want to
really pamper him this Father's Day then our Electric Toothbrush or the Black & Decker Coffee Maker will do just fine.
Please note that the Father's Day Gifts
link & a number of Father's Day Gifts have been discontinued
since Father's Day is now over.

Dear Friends,
Cotton Candy Maker for kids has been added to Giftwala. We knew we had to get this product for Giftwala as soon as we laid eyes on it. Some products make you want to be a kid again. This is one of those.

Dear Friends,
The Dunkin Donuts brand has long been known for their quality donuts and coffee. Dunkin Donuts, Karachi, has just launched cakes in 3 interesting flavors. Although their promos suggest that these cakes have especially been launched for Eid, however, we suspect that
they will continue with these cakes even after eid, as they are bound to become one of their hot sellers this year, especially the Chocolate Mocha Cake. The following DD cakes have
been added to Giftwala: Chocolate Mocha Cake, Chocolate Mousse Cake, Walnut Cheese Cake (it has Kraft's Philadelphia Cream Cheese in it - so we have been told).

Dear Friends,
|Eid Gifts| page has been created at Giftwala with recommended products for 'Eid Day' delivery in Pakistan. In preparation for Eid, lots of new items have been
added to the Mithai, Chocolates & Flowers' sections at Giftwala. Fox's Eid Delight & Quality Street Eid Surprise are the two special recommendations for Eid. Presentation
also counts for a lot and keeping this in mind these two Eid Specials come packed in an attractive hand made basket - a bow tied to the top of the basket further adds to the presentation.

Dear Friends,
A children's slide has been added to Giftwala.com. When a local importer mentioned
this slide to us, we were slightly hesitant about adding this slide to our site. We thought
this would again be one of those low quality local/Chinese makes (they do produce some excellent
stuff, however, unfortunately the toys they make aren't very good) that are readily available
in the market. Having had a look at the slide changed all that. High quality plastic
has been used - its sturdy, smooth with no sharp edges/points- even the screws needed to assemble
the slide are made of plastic. It took us less than five minutes to assemble it.

Dear Friends,

Electric Toothbrushes have been added to Giftwala. Ultra-speed motion (oscillation of the brush-head) of these electric toothbrushes transforms toothpaste into microfoam to penetrate difficult to reach areas where the bacteria can hide.
Black & Decker Dustbuster Auto (car vacuum) has also been added to Giftwala. Car owners would
definately appreciate this gift. Comes with a coiled cord that plugs into the cigarette lighter. A useful
device for the car.

Dear Friends,
Keeping 14th August, Pakistan's Independence Day in mind, we thought it would be nice to add a gift
item suitable for this occasion. Pakistan Table Flag has now been added to Giftwala. The well polished
brass stand complements the high quality polyester flag really well.
Would make for a great gift for a business associate or anyone who's a true patriot at heart.

Dear Friends,
Giftwala customers who are in a hurry can now check out without registering. After you have added items to your shopping cart, clicking on the 'Check Out' button will take you to a screen where you will have the option to 'Check Out Without Registering'.

Dear Friends,
Giftwala would like to thank both it's customers and visitors for taking the time out
in sending us all the encouraging feedback. We would just like you to know that we
really do appreciate this and that we would keep on striving hard and remain focused on our
mission - 'make gift giving both simple and
fun for people looking to send gifts to Pakistan'

Dear Friends,
We couldn't help but notice that a lot of our visitors are exiting our site from the page where they are asked to create an account
with us. We are aware that on the face of it, creating an account does seem like an unnecessary hassle, however, the thinking behind this was to provide
our customers with additional features such as gift reminder service, order tracking, billing history and many other account management tools,
that are currently in the pipeline, to enhance your gift ordering experience.
We are also working on a parallel interface through which you will be able to bypass creating an account
altogether in order to purchase something at Giftwala. However, this parallel interface is still
a few months away. So please bear with us during this while. Please do email us should you wish to be reminded once this parallel
interface has been implemented.
As for your concerns about creating an account with us, we assure you that there is
nothing to worry about. We save your billing details (minus credit card info) which you can edit at anytime by
logging into your account. We also save the LAST entered shipping address. So everytime
you select a different address to ship to, this new shipping address replaces the old address
in our database. The above measures are to expedite your checkout process, a
method adopted by us by following leading websites such as amazon.com.

Dear Friends,
Size charts for the kurtas have been added within the description pages of our Khaadi kurtas. 'Special Instructions' field has also been added to
the shopping cart where you will be asked to enter the desired size of the Kurtas (small, medium etc) and can also be used to specify
the desired color for an item where such a choice is available. We will soon be adding a dropdown menu within the description pages of such products which
will make it easier for you to choose the desired size/color for items where such a choice is available.

GIFTWALA.COM IS NOW LIVE!
Dear Friends,
Alhamdulillah, we have made a humble beginning. There's still lots more to do. Some images need to be corrected, you may encounter a few spelling mistakes here and there, some pages may be incomplete but
other than that we are are ready to take your order(s). Please do email us should you encounter any errors or problems while browsing our site. Please also note that sizes of
kurtas and some items in the 'Kidswear' category haven't been defined yet. We will hopefully sort this thing out within the next couple of days.
Once again, we welcome you to Giftwala - feel free to browse our site and do notify us of any errors you come across.
Happy browsing & happy ordering.
