Here's what the team at Gift Wink say: "Gift Wink is a brand new site taking the stress out of buying birthday presents for children. All you have to do is add the birthdays of the important people in your life (especially your nieces, nephews and godchildren), and we take care of the rest. Our team of gift spotting mums source the best and most beautiful gifts from leading high street retailers as well as boutique discovery brands, and then email you birthday reminders with handpicked gift recommendations in plenty of time.Feel supremely organised and make someone's day, and never forget an important birthday again."

Selected testers will be asked to visit the website www.giftwink.com and spend some time getting to know the site by browsing gifts, signing up and adding birthdays. We'd then like testers to leave their feedback on a thread on Mumsnet. Everyone who is selected and gives feedback as required will be entered into a prize draw where one lucky Mumsnetter will win a £250 John Lewis voucher.

Thanks and good luck,

Thanks for picking me to test Giftwink. I've already had a little look around the website and I have to say I'm pleasantly surprised. I'll keep an eye out for the feedback thread.

Zane, please could you clarify the prizes for feedback. The email said there were three prizes, but I think this thread says one?

Hi Squizita Gift Wink want to respond to your comment on gender stereotyping with gifts: :)

"Thanks for your comments on this. I totally agree that gender stereotyping around gifts is a really tricky topic, and in some circumstances it can be unhelpful and even insulting. We worked with a lot of mums to get their preferences and unfortunately there doesn't seem to be a "one size fits all" way of organising gift choices, especially when you have a very wide range of gifts to cover. So we are trying out a way of offering all options and allowing our users to choose the one that works for them. But we are really open to all your feedback. We want Gift Wink to work for you guys, so if things need to be changed on the site then we will happily change them. Tell us what you think and we will listen. Our email is [email protected] if you'd like a more direct chat".

Can you give me the link for my feedback, please - I can't find it. Thanks

Hi

Trying to get on giftwink ... the site seems to be down? It doesn't work at all!

Any ideas?

Which thread do they want us to review it on??

Hi squizita here's a message from Gift Wink regarding your problem accessing the site earlier.

"'We're really sorry if you had any problems accessing the site earlier. We had a server reboot but all should be back up and working now. Please let us know if you have any further problems'"

Thanks - unfortunately I cannot check because I just tried to in my work break and the site comes up as barred for obscene material. Not sure what key words etc that's triggering but I will have to explain this to my IT dept (thankfully they will see it is perfectly innocent).
But in terms of feedback - avoiding words on the site that could make the site appear NSFW would help!
