Bouxtie is an app that makes sending and receiving digital gift cards easy. All you need to do is select a top retail brand, select a contact from your phone, and send them a gift card for whatever amount you like. You can even customize your gift with text, photos and video, and your recipient can send back a multimedia thank you also!

2. Explain a scenario in which your parent or a friend would use Bouxtie to send a gift card to you (Would you suggest to them to use Bouxtie? How would you tell them to? Why would they send you the card? What gift card would you like to receive?).
