On Forgetting Birthdays

I’m sharing #VerizonMobileGifting in my life as part of a Verizon Wireless sponsored series for Socialstars™

So I have a confession. If Facebook or my Google Calendar didn’t remind me of birthdays, I would probably forget 99% of them. Forgetting birthdays is a big issue of mine. The three birthdays I remember easily are my husband’s (the day after mine), my mom’s (two weeks before mine exactly), and my dad’s (26 days after mine). I swear though, before technology I was awesome at remembering birthdays. I am not a bad person contrary to my lack of remembering birthdays. Anyways I digress…

So like I said, I am not great at remembering birthdays which can lead to a bit of trouble when I need to get a gift for someone and it’s the day before their birthday or the day of! If it’s a friend who lives far away you don’t want it to be a week or two late, and if it’s someone close by you don’t want it to seem super last minute! What do you do!? Well friends, enter Verizon Message+! Gift giving the mobile way made super easy! Not only can you text a gift card to someone, but you can also make sure you are communicating with them on their birthday! Recently, I forgot a great friends birthday. To be fair this friend is someone who NEVER makes a big deal out of birthdays and someone I see pretty regularly, so I sent her a mobile gift card to her favorite store, Sephora. She was so excited and surprised and kept talking about how easy it was because she never remembers to bring gift cards with her. She can just use her phone! I mean we always have our phones right?

Example below of what the gift card will look like! You can customize the message as well.

Verizon Gift Card

You can download the app from the Apple App Store or from Google Play, depending on your device. You can seamlessly send and receive messages on your Smartphone, iOS device, tablet, and desktop. There are over 30 vendors participating in the mobile gifting expansion. They range in categories from dining, to retail, to home goods, and more. I mean, you can always find something for basically anyone! I know me personally I would love a mobile gift card to Nordstrom, Starbucks, Sephora, or Whole Foods. So if you are reading this and forget my birthday this coming April….fear not! 🙂

Forgetting birthdays can be a struggle, but Verizon Message+ has you covered!

What gift card would you send someone in your life?
