Facebook launches service to send real-life gifts

Celebrate birthdays, new jobs and other big moments.

Facebook is rolling out a service called Gifts which, as its name suggests, lets users send chocolate, coffee, socks and other real-life presents to one another.







Facebook Gifts launched Thursday to a subset of users in the U.S. and will roll out to more over the coming months as people begin to send gifts to each other.Users will be able to click on a "gifts" icon on their Facebook friends' pages on Android mobile or Facebook website

The icon will also show up on the right side of users' Facebook pages with the notifications for friends' birthdays, weddings and other life events.
FOR EXAMPLE, if your girl friend's birthday is coming up in two days, now can see a "give her a gift" link and the gift icon next to her name and photo.Clicking the icon will display presents you can buy, such as a Starbucks gift card, cupcakes or a teddy bear.
