Felicite.com: Link Your Gift Registry to MySpace.Com
Stamford, CT - June 19, 2006. Felicite.com is compatible with MySpace.com. "Can I link my gift registry to a MySpace.com account?" This question is more frequent than ever for the team at Felicite.com. The answer is "Yes!" explains Peter DiSalvo, VP Marketing at Felicite.com. "Everyone that starts a gift registry on Felicite.com gets unique URL that can be emailed to friends or posted on any website, even on MySpace.com."
Social networking on the Internet is in the news more than ever thanks to MySpace.com and social gift giving is very much on the rise thanks to Felicite.com. “Are we really just participating in a virtual barn-raising?” DiSalvo wonders. For example a hundred year ago neighbors would get together shortly after a wedding to build the newlyweds a new barn. “Now we are a much more global society” DiSalvo continues, “children attend college and then get jobs frequently taking them great distances from their hometown; neighbors and relatives may never meet the fiancés or brides–to-be.”
Felicite.com is a gift registry network for any occasion. Felicite allows registrants to build a gift list of items from any store, friends can visit the registry to buy a gift in full or make a partial payment toward an expensive gift.
Felicite addresses several gift giving issues by enabling distant relations to see exactly what gifts the registrant wants and “Felicite's patented partial purchase brings back the spirit of communal giving” he adds. Previously a group of neighbors had enough daily contact to discuss chipping in on a gift. “In today's busy world that type of communication often no longer exists or might involve awkward phone calls” continues DiSalvo. “Felicite solves this; a gift giver just goes online to visit their friend's gift registry and can contribute with other neighbors from around the world.” Felicite has other features like a photo album, guestbook, and RSVP system, “it's like each registrant has their own website dedicated to any gift giving event they want.”
Social Networking sites like MySpace.com literally keep long distance friends linked together. “Before the Internet you may have established a friendship with a pen pal, or kept in-touch with relations via phone or letter. Today you can post a link to your Felicite gift list on MySpace.com or simply email your Felicite link to your distant friends and neighbors and they can be participate in your event” says DiSalvo.
“Social networking and social gift giving are still alive and well. MySpace.com and Felicite.com has simply moved our social nature to a place where we all meet – virtually.”

"Wedding gifts alone is worth $30 billion dollar a year. We believe the Partial Purchase feature would allow many merchants to more efficiently tap this market," says Peter DiSalvo. "A cash gift registry using the Partial Purchase feature would also work well for an on-line payment processor or a travel agency," adds DiSalvo.
