Send.com’s commercial spokescharacter, “The Giver,” has gone away for good, the latest casualty of the dot-com slump.

The Waltham, Mass.-based online service allowed users to send expensive gifts via the Internet. Last week, the company ceased operations.

“Send.com has been forced to close its business due to the ongoing uncertainty in the economic environment surrounding our business,” said Michael Lannon, the firm’s founder and chief executive, in a letter posted on the company’s site. “We have decided it’s best to cease operations immediately and begin the painful task of closing down Send.com.”
