As the mothers of 3 young children, we’ve attended more birthday parties than we can count. We’ve spent too much time staring at the overwhelming, yet unsatisfying selection of toys in our local stores and at big online retailers trying to find that perfect gift…a gift we felt good about giving and the birthday child (and her mom) would love. We felt there had to be a better, easier, more convenient way.

We started GIFT HERO to change the way parents buy gifts for birthday parties. We’ve found what we hope are the best toys for the age and gender of the child and the amount you want to spend. We (and our kids and their friends) have tested all of the toys we sell -- and we don’t offer anything we wouldn’t be thrilled for our own children to receive. We’ve created the Gift Finder to help you quickly find your gift. And, we’ve designed a fun and easy gift bag to “wrap” your gift and bring it to the party.

We also feel very strongly about giving back and creating opportunities to teach children the value and importance of charity. We want our children to realize how lucky they are and we also want every child to feel as fortunate as ours do. So, part of GIFT HERO is an opportunity to give back. We will work with children’s charities to provide gifts to children whose families can’t afford them.

Here’s to better gifting!
