I decided to give it a try and send a gift card to my friend Sonia for her birthday!
I just picked out the gift card I wanted to send her, added a personalized message, and that was it! DONE! You can choose to add more to the gift card if you like or others can add to the value of the gift card as well, which is even nicer.
As you can see, I already have a few gift cards all neatly filed in my electronic wallet. Isn’t it cute? The website is designed really well, very user friendly and so many brands to choose from. I don’t think I will ever go any place else when I want to send a gift card to a friend. Wrapp makes it so convenient and I love using the app on my phone too.
There are two ways to redeem the gift card.
In-store: Bring up the Wrapp app on your phone, open your digital wallet and show to the cashier. Viola! They take the gift card amount off your purchase total.
Online: Open the Wrapp app, choose your card, use the promo code. Done!
And I know you’re wondering… Don’t worry!!! Wrapp is available both on iOS and Android. I have been using it on my iPhone 5 and I love it!

I don’t know about you, but I am a huge die-hard fan of Sex & The City. Carrie’s fashion sense has been an inspiration to me for years and I found the movies incredibly entertaining.
If you saw Sex & The City 2 movie, you’ll immediately recognize this sterling silver rings as being inspired by the ring that Mr. Big gives Carrie.
In the film when he gave her the ring, he explains why he chose a black diamond, “Because you are not like anyone else”.
This gorgeous thin sterling silver band has pave set CZs extending partially down each side and surrounding the center 2 carat black CZ stone that is absolutely breathtaking. You’ll get Carried away in style with a gorgeous ring like this!
I’m so in love with this ring because of the black diamond and the design and shape of the ring. It’s comfortable, sparkly and classy. Not so big that it looks cheesy, just enough glam to be feminine and stylish.

It’s sterling silver, rhodium plated and nickle free. Best of all, this ring is totally affordable! Only $60.00 and the option to add engraving for $8.95. Available in sizes 4 – 12. I got a size 5 and it’s a little loose on my right hand ring finger. I think this particular ring might run about 1/4 – 1/2 size big, so keep that in mind when purchasing.
