Become A Gift Hero

I will share a secret with you.  I hate shopping.  HATE it.  I think that in general, I just lack the patience for it.  But also in part, I always have an image in my head of what I want to get and the searching for that, through the crowds, in busy stores, often with kids in tow, just makes the entire experience annoying for me.  But even more so, when I am shopping for a gift.  Because you can’t really rush through the search for a great gift.  It’s just not possible to really relax during the process. 

Well, that’s what I though anyway until I came across a wonderful retail service site named Gift Hero. Gift Hero is the brainchild of two New York City moms, Lisa Fielding & Stefanie Katz-Rothman; friends, neighbors, and mothers of young children.  

With the inspiration to start a business for busy parents like themselves, they put together a list of “pain points” and realized that the one thing that remained on top was the painstaking process of gift buying.  Like most parents, they had spent many hours in search of the ideal gift, but not without having to endure the search through countless of unsatisfying ones first.  Thus Gift Hero was born. And Heroes they are!  Not only do they help countless of parents in their search for that ideal gift, but the gift-giving Mom or Dad make the receiving child happy and have the option to donate to charitable causes.

To make sure that parents have the best available selection of gifts, as well as an effortless and positive gift shopping experience, these amazing Gift Hero Moms select toys that their own children have enjoyed the most over the years and they reach out to friends and others for feedback and recommendations. They test the toys and limit the selection available to those they truly trust and like.

The site has a search engine that allows gift givers to search for the ideal gift by age, gender, and desired price.  This option provides the buyer with a flexibility to find the perfect gift quickly, no matter what the occasion. They are continuously improving the site, and have recently added Outdoor Gifts, as well as Gifts for 8-10 year olds.

With all the options and help offered through Gift Hero it is no wonder that the reception has been amazing!  Since their launch in March, Gift Hero has already earned the trust and satisfaction of a repeat clientele from all over the country, who not only love the gifts, but also the incredible customer service and quick shipping.  I also loves their bright, reusable, and eco-friendly gift bag in which to carry your gifts in.

Parents can also check out the Gift Hero Blog for more gift giving ideas and tips, as well as events and other information of the gifts on the site.

These amazing Mompreneurs are able to successfully address a problem faced by many busy parents.  Kudos to them that in addition to helping us with our busy lives, they also take the time to protect the environment and give back to our community. I wish them continued success!
