Note: This post is part of a sponsored campaign with Those Media Girls and pick UR gift. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
Do you ever feel like you just can’t find the right gift for someone? I sometimes wish I could just give a person a bunch of options and let them choose what they’d like from that list. Well, there’s a new service called pick UR gift where you can do exactly that!
I think this would be a great solution for shopping for my nieces and nephews. I never know exactly what to get them, so I can now make a list and send it to their mom and let her decide what she’d like them to have. You can see above I chose a few things that Buddy would really like for Christmas to add to his list. The nice thing is that you can add from any site on the web. I used Amazon because I do the majority of my shopping there, but you can go anywhere. The way it’s easy to shop anywhere is that you install the pick UR gift bookmarklet into your browser, so while you’re on the site where you want to add to a gift list, you just click your UR button and it will pop up your options to fill out.
When you push the UR button you can see the screen that will pop up on your screen. At that point you pick who you are shopping for, which shopping page you want it added to, the picture of the item and description. You can make more than one shopping page per person, for example you can make a birthday, Christmas, Anniversary page, etc.
To learn more about pick UR gift and possibly win a $200 Visa Gift card (through 11/15) you can visit Eighty MPH Mom so you can get a jump on your holiday shopping.
You also have the option when you create your wishlist of making it public so that it’ll show up on the pick UR gift website to give other people ideas for wishlists.

I would like to make a list for my Son and Husband. Incidentaly I’m finding UR gift a little confusing. In the first entry you say to create 2 wish lists and there is not a way to do that. So I made a wish list and then a gift page, hope that qualifys. Thanks for a great giveaway!
Hey Trish,
I am one of the co-founders of pickURgift and heard you were having a little issue. Let me clarify one thing. All you need to do is add two gifts to a page to qualify for the gift card.
Over the last few weeks we have been working on flow and user experience.
Let me help you a little.
You have added UR Button to your browser bar it sounds like. Go to a gift you want to add.
Open up drop down “who are you shopping for”. Create your husband a contact.
Open up the “Add Gift” drop down and add a gift page for him “Rick’s Xmas”.
Now you are ready to add gifts to that page. Reset a new page and hit add gift.
The UR Button should say Step 1 Step 2 as of this morning. Just repeat and add gifts.
You can do the same two steps for you son and start storing gifts for him. You can do it for anyone. NoBody Yet….this is where you would store ideas like kitched gadgets.
To see the gift page you created just hit the SEE GIFT PAGE tab at the bottom of UR Button.
I hope this simplifies things. You can use the contact us or leave message function if you need any more help.
Thank you,
Rick
I would like to create a gift list for my mother.
I would create a list for my mother Roberta who never wants anything but I want her to have everything. 😉

This is an awesome idea for my son’s christmas list. It is so hard to give family a list. This is much simplier.
