Send Holiday Gifts from Facebook

By Linda Roeder, About.com

Send free gifts to all your Facebook friends. There are gifts for lots of holidays including some you may not have heard of. These gifts are all virtual, but that doesn't make them any less cool to get.

  1. Go to the Holiday Gifts on Facebook application page and click on "Add Application". On the next page click on "Add Holiday Gifts".

  2. You can immediately start sending gifts to your Facebook friends. Choose one from any of the gift lists. Browse through the gifts by using the holiday lists or by choosing another category. Many of these gifts are free to send to your Facebook friends, some come with a low fee.

  3. Choose a gift to send to your Facebook friend by clicking on the check box next to the item you want to send to your friend.

  4. In the "Choose your recipient" section you have three choices.

    • You can send the gift to all your Facebook friends at once by clicking on the check box next to where it says "Sending to: All Friends!".

    • To post the gift on your Facebook profile instead of sending it to your friends, choose the link that says "Post to Profile".

    • If want to send your gift to a select few of your Facebook friends, click on the link that says "Some Friends". Then add the names of the friends you want to send the gift to. When you type the first letter of the name into the "sending to" box, names will pop up with that letter. Just click on the name to add it to the list of people you want to send the gift to.

  5. Add a personal message to your gift. People like to know why they're getting gifts and read a message.

  6. Make your gift private, public or even anonymous.

  7. Click on "Send Gift". Your gift will now be sent to your friend.
