Send.com’s commercial pitch character “The Giver” may be gone for good — the latest casualty of the dot-com slump.

Send.com, the Waltham, Mass.-based online service that delivered luxury gifts, ceased operations Tuesday “due to the ongoing uncertainty in the economic environment surrounding our business,” Michael Lannon, founder and chief executive, said in a letter 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.”

Managers could not be reached for comment.
