This year, Kaboodle debuts "Wish List Central," an area that provides busy shoppers smart ways to point friends and family toward the gifts they want to get as well as learn what the people on their gift list would like to receive. This new feature leverages the site's core "Add to Kaboodle" functionality, which allows shoppers to add any product to their lists from anywhere on the web, and also offers users multiple entry points for discovering great products featured on Kaboodle. Once users create a list, they can easily share it through the Kaboodle site, e-mail, Twitter, Facebook, and MySpace.
Now in its third year, Kaboodle's annual Wish-a-Day Giveaway will award more than $30,000 in prizes to 70+ lucky winners between November 18 and December 24, 2009. Each day, Kaboodlers will have the opportunity to win a minimum of $500 in gift cards simply by adding any item from a participating retailer to one of their Kaboodle wish lists. Wish-a-Day partners include returning popular community favorites as well as a number of new retailers. A partial list of prize providers includes shopbop.com, Karmaloop.com, ModCloth, ASOS.com, RedEnvelope and ALDO Shoes.
Shoppers can also browse more than 1,200 gift ideas handpicked by Kaboodle's community in the Holiday Shopping Guide, where categories include fashion, beauty & fragrances, gadgets, toys, home & garden, and more. The guide can be browsed by recipient or personality, price, and gift type. Another way to discover products is by browsing selections made by Kaboodle Shopping Scouts--some of the site's savviest shoppers.
"Kaboodle continues to see enormous growth as shoppers look to each other to find the right products, advice and deals," stated Manish Chandra, CEO and co-founder of Kaboodle. "We continue to deliver valuable consumer tools and promotions, and we provide unique points of engagement for our retail partners. Major brands use Kaboodle to help execute their online promotions and communications plans for the holidays, relying on Kaboodle's significant reach and focus on product discovery. With more than 15 million monthly visitors, and as a comScore Top 150 property, we expect to have another record-setting holiday season."
