GiftYa provides an alternative solution to gift cards, because gift cards can be lost, stolen, used for illegal activity and are impersonal. Gift card selection is limited to mostly national brands, and the industry counts on the recipient not using or losing their gift card to make additional money. GiftYa is a beautifully presented, personalized gift alternative that cannot be lost, stolen or used for illegal activity with the ability to buy for any merchant in the USA and is delivered in seconds.

The gift card industry is broken. GiftYa is dedicated to fixing it with the next generation of gifting. GiftYa is more than a website or app, it’s a movement! GiftYa makes the most of the technology we already use every day so givers can send meaningful gifts in the moment. Join the #GiftYa Movement
Buyers can choose from almost any merchant across the U.S., personalize their gift with a photo or video, write a personal message, choose from fun gift wrappers and deliver it within seconds using only the recipient's mobile phone number.
Recipients simply activate their GiftYa to their payment card within seconds, shop as they normally would and their account is credited the amount they spend until the GiftYa value is used in full. Unlike a gift card, a GiftYa can never be lost or stolen and it doesn't lose value.
Choose a merchant
Get a GiftYa to one of your favorite retailers, stores, restaurants and more. With almost every merchant across the USA to choose from - GiftYa is the gift of choice.
Add gift details
Use the GiftYa website or mobile app to purchase a GiftYa by entering the recipient's mobile phone number or email address. It only takes minutes to make a decision on a merchant, select an amount, personalize the GiftYa, and decide when you want the recipient to receive the GiftYa.
Personalize
Every GiftYa includes the ability to upload a photo or video, choose from a variety of elegant wrappers, write a custom message, and select the exact date you would like the GiftYa to be delivered.
