Gifts by text message

Springwise reports on a Dutch company, Cadeaucode, that lets late or lazy gift givers send presents by text message.

How does work? "The giver goes to the company's website, enters the recipient's phone number and a message, pays by credit card, and a message containing a unique gift code is immediately sent to the recipient.

While gift vouchers by email have been around at least as long as Amazon.com has, there's a fun immediacy to receiving a gift by text message -- a greater element of surprise, compounded by the gift voucher being instantly redeemable online.

Cadeaucode's gift selection is limited to ten items, currently ranging from a Madonna Live cd/dvd to the infamous 'shave all over' Philips Bodygroom, and the assortment is regularly updated."
