Internet Reminder Service
http://www.novator.com/Remind/Remind.html
What a cool idea! You tell
them calendar dates and events you want to be reminded of, and they will
Email you 10 days before, to give you time to buy a pressie, or pack your
bags, or put yourself through de-tox before your mother arrives.
You can define a whole heap of dates, birthdays, anniversaries
and special occasions. Sycophants
wouldn’t ever want to forget boss’s day, now would they?
Verdict: Throw away your
filofax, check your e-mail, your worries are over!

http://www.webcom.com/%7Egetagift/Birthday_Page.html
Mr CompuPotato offers an easy to use and fun way of sending someone
a birthday greeting. Just type it in, and it stays there for a

can add their well-wishes.
Verdict: It costs, but it’s
a good service, may be good for business greetings, or someone you really
feel like blowing money on.

Birthday Discoveries - News Of The Past
http://www.giftcards.com/
Using Clinton and Dole as test dummies, News of the Past demos a software
pack that tells all there is to know about someone’s birthday. You can
then print out various pages, or even design your own “birthday times”
to make a great little gift for someone. There is a shareware version
to try out, and samples of printable pages.
If you have a big family and lots of friends, this could be a good
investment.
Verdict: Happy Birthday -
on this day, your Visa card limit has been reached.

page, and see all the cool stuff these non-profit dudes are getting into.

but huge site for other stuff, have a look!

Virtual Presents
http://www.virtualpresents.com/
What do you get for the person who has virtually everything,
send em virtually nothing! With a background of “it’s the thought
that counts”, this site gives you the chance to send someone anything
from lipstick to a gorilla. It’s
free and it’s fun, and the pics are good.
You also get to send a witty retort or meaningful message along
with the gift.
Verdict: Great for a cyber laugh.
