Review:

This is the little bar, above your wall usually, where people can send you shit like teddy bears, little froggies, charm bracelets, and thongs. For
the original Gifts app you got one free gift to give away, and then you had to pay a dollar for every one after that.

Can anyone say rip-off? This is kinda like the creepy foreign guy you invariably find prowling around with overpriced flowers when the clubs let
out late at night. His hope, much like the people peddling the Gifts application, is that you feel either guilty enough, or pathetic enough, to cave in and buy your significant
other something that evidences your admiration. The problem with this concept is that when you buy someone you care about a virtual stuffed animal, you are either in the early
puppy-love stages of the relationship, or thoroughly psychotic. I would lean towards the latter.

The only way to salvage this application would be to make a compatible program which allowed for me to hatch from an egg a creature that could take
sexual advantage of each subsequent creature in my partner’s virtual fucking stuffed animal zoo. On a side note, I haven't received any Gifts yet, and the day that someone
actually dares to send me one, I vow to locate the item in real life, drive to their house, and cram it down their throat.

Grade: D

This application is a pretty blatant attempt at capitalizing on the material nature of relationships in our country, but I'll give it a passing
grade for entrepreneurial spirit.
