Want Great Gift Ideas? AskHerFriends!

AskHerFriends gift service

‘Tis the season of giving and gifts that make many of us go… hmm. If the man in your life struggles when it comes to picking the right present, you could point him in the direction of social gift-finding service AskHerFriends.com**.

This fab site is the brain child (and love puppy) of Ben Blomerley who set up the service after one too many gift disasters.

‘Speaking to my mates I came to realise that I wasn’t the only one getting it wrong. So I decided to make the whole gifting process as easy and hassle-free for blokes as possible. Because when you do surprise your partner with the perfect gift, it’s the best feeling!’

How it Works
Clueless Bloke signs up to AskHerFriends and browses the wide variety of gift products and experiences on offer. He selects some and adds them to an Advice List that’s then sent round to Clueless Girlfriend’s mates and family via email or Facebook. Clued-up Friends then provide honest and useful feedback on his choices until he whittles them down to the perfect present for his true love. Joy all around.

And you can say goodbye to scratchy undies and cheap perfume — AskHerFriends sources an eclectic range of gifts from hip boutiques like Coulson Macleod, Tatty Devine and Milli Millu.

There’s also an Expert Blog with handy hints and tips and even an Idea Map to help you find great gift ideas. Although of course we all know men don’t read maps!

We think this is a brilliant service not only for guys, but for anyone looking to spoil a female acquaintance, in-law or any lady whose tastes you’re not 100% sure of.

Why rack your brains when you can just AskHerFriends?
