Sweet Catastrophe

I’ve fallen in love with this app on Facebook. It was originally called “My Christmas Tree” but now goes by the name of “Festive Events” as they’ve added (and are continuing to add) other events.

I’ll describe it in regards to Christmas for the sake of simplicity, but keep in mind, this applies to other holidays and events as well.

First you select your decoration and a song. I’ve got a Jack Skellington Christmas tree and my song is “Making Christmas” from The Nightmare Before Christmas. Once you’ve done that, it’s time to send presents!

They’ve got all kinds of great things to choose from like popular electronics, joke gifts, cars, even a date with Johnny Depp. Then you’ll choose from a variety of little gift boxes, bags or stockings.

Finally, you write in a little message to your friend and select your options of the date it’s to be sent and if the message is to be hidden until the specified date as well.

Obviously, I haven’t seen the unwrapping in action yet, but according to the app, on the day specified (currently Christmas) you get to ‘unwrap’ each gift individually!

I think it’s great! It’s a great way to show all those friends you wouldn’t normally want to dole out cash on that you’re thinking of them! I can’t wait to see what some of my friends have picked out for me. I’ve been giving a lot of people the gifts I’d like to get for them if money wasn’t in the way

If the above link doesn’t take you to the app, you can check out my profile and just scroll down to the Jack Skellington tree. Feel free to send some gifts my way!

I’m off to look through everything they’ve got and see if I can find some bodybuilding supplements to my brother as a joke. He…well, let’s just say it’s sort of an inside joke haha.
