Gifteng Powers a New Kind of Collaborative Consumption

When it comes to the sharing economy, things are often very transactional. However, Gifteng, wants to make social sharing more about generosity and giving away high quality items.

The site was born out of a bout of Spring cleaning, when Co-Founder Agota Correa discovered, as so many of us do, that she had lots of unused items in her closet. She did an internet search for a place to give away this surplus but couldn’t find what she was looking for.
