fbFund Review: RealGifts

RealGifts is a fun application that bridges the gap between virtual gifting and real world gifting. A competitor in the current fbFund round, RealGifts lets you send tangible presents to your friends, which are delivered in the mail. The good thing about using such a gifting program through Facebook is that you can send and receive gifts without knowing or revealing your physical address–Facebook already knows this information.

The virtual and real worlds are connected through the RealGifts application by the “virtual” opening of the gift on Facebook at the time of the “physical” delivery.
