Hollywood, California–E-commerce startup Friendgiftr has just launched the first-of its - kind Facebook e-commerce application selling America’s most wanted retail and restaurant gift cards.

The Friendgiftr app offers over 120 leading U.S. merchant’s official gift cards, including big names like Gap, Dominos Pizza, Pottery Barn, Chili’s, Barnes & Noble, Applebee’s, Marriott, P.F. Chang’s, Dell, Overstock.com, Panera Bread, Red Lobster, Regal Cinemas, Sephora, and other premium-branded gift cards.

Facebook users are now able to buy and send real digital and/or physical gift cards to friends, family, and associates for the holidays, birthdays, other special occasions, or anytime. Buyers can select from over 120 of their favorite retail and restaurant gift cards to buy $10, $20, $25, $35, $50, $75, and $100 gift cards. But what’s really special about Friendgiftr is that end receivers are empowered to get what they really want –they can exchange the gift card given to them from their friends or family for any of the 120 merchants Friendgiftr offers for no additional cost and without the buyer knowing. They can also split the gift card across multiple merchants, enabling the ultimate user choice and control.

Friendgiftr is the premiere digital storefront company currently offering over 120 of America’s favorite retail and restaurant gift cards through Facebook. It is the grand prize winner of the prestigious Henry Kravis Award in venture capital and entrepreneurship, and has received investor funding from Tech Coast Angels’ membership. Friendgiftr also placed first in a VentureBeat.com technology trends competition held in conjunction with the prestigious DEMO Conference for the concept of merging social networking and e-commerce. It is partnered with iCard Systems, a leading back-end supplier of electronic and physical gift cards, and represented by the LA-based corporate law firm Buchalter Nemer. Friendgiftr is a Rob Carpenter production.
