About Us
We would like to note first that: We are in no way a crowd-funding site. This is a solution that simplifies gift giving and make it a memorable experience. It also provides an opportunity for everyone to share their wishes, goals, and dreams with the rest of the world.
The Story Behind ZWISHES:
It all started back in 2009 when Z, the creator of WISHES, was in college. While studying Business Information Systems, he kept noticing a few solvable social dilemmas. They all pertained to the aspect of giving gifts/presents and fulfilling loved-ones wishes.
One summer at a birthday party, he was spending it with a friend called Lindsey. Z knew exactly what she wanted at that time.
So many of Lindsey’s friends and family brought her different presents for her birthday. Things like Necklaces, Jewelry, Gift Cards and many others. However, none of these items were exactly what she was hoping for. She was really dreaming of an iMac to use for school and be creative.
Another occasion was Christmas. Z’s friend, Ian, was considering a Lawn Mower for some time. Not that Ian couldn’t afford to buy one himself, however, he just would have loved the gesture if it came as a gift from someone or some people that cared for him
Z realized that this keeps happening at so many different occasions. Birthday parties, Graduation celebrations, Housewarming parties, Baby showers and many more
Z’s sister was talking to him on the phone one day when she mentioned that she and her group of friends are pitching in to buy a get well soon to one of the group member. They all pitched in and bought an exquisite Louis Viton bag that she has desired for some time.
After attending so many celebrations and seeing the disappointment at the celebrated person’s face, Z thought to himself that there should be solution to this problem. There should be a one stop platform where wishes are fulfilled.
That is when this idea came to live. Anyone and everyone is welcome to come in here and state their wishes, then go about their lives. When a family member, friend, colleague, coworker, loved-one, partner, or anyone for that matter want to give this person a gift, they can come to this site for references. They can either buy the gift outright, or if the price is high, they can pitch in whatever they can and others will join in.
Our job is to make this a pleasant and fun experience for both the giver and the receiver. Our experts will make sure to personalize the gift weather it was bought in full or it was a group effort; it will be fun for all.
For people with wishes:
You can wish for anything and any number of things. There is a space for an Ultimate wish, which is the main thing on your mind right now. Then there are infinite spaces for any other items you may wish to have.
For people who want to fulfill a wish:
Giving is the best feeling in life. Certainly, if it is for someone you care about or want to make a move; this is the best way to do it. No matter what percentage you participate with, the receiver will know that you care enough to participate and this is maybe all you can do.
