Cool. Of course here you can also give someone a picture from the internet in a direct message (or on their whiteboard, I think).
@ThePatientAnarchist Yes, and you can do that here, but there was something cool about the way you could send items presented as gifts with greeting cards. I remember finding it clever.

Aww, thank you 🥺 I’ll happily take that frog mug as a gift 💙 I may not remember every little detail from EP anymore, but what I do remember is the kindness and thoughtfulness people showed just like this. It really means a lot. 🫂❤

The more I read here about what people remember about that site, the more I realize that I must have been sleep-walking through it! I don't remember this, and likewise other memories people here share about EP often stir only vague recollections in my mind.

But, that would have been a very cool gift! 😄
Yes I remember like it was yesterday. Plus it had a real time chat feature to talk with others. Where have the fun times gone?

I was there I believe a little under a year. I wasn’t aware you could do that there though!

They wanted to commercialize the gift section. And why Amazon Links are on it.

I doubt many actually even know about those links however.

Amazon though would object to Links to nothing. There's actual Amazon products associated with each gift. Amazon wouldn't profit so this site wouldn't as well.

It would be like adding eBay to the Links. Competition between the two would make Amazon stop even the images at are there. Those are Amazon's images.

Image copyright is involved in this.

Omg yes! I remember that. A few of us were always sending each other gifts there. 🥳

I loved sending cards.
@JaggedLittlePill So did I. 😊

Yea i remember that was unique. Now they have so many emojis. Maybe now thats what the gifting feature was then? 🎇
It seems odd to me that "wane nostalgic" is not a generally accepted opposite.

EP was good.

Can you not post photos on a whiteboard on sw?
@OldBrit You can, I suppose. And you can include them in dms. But there was just something fun about being able to make and send custom virtual gifts and cards.

@bijouxbroussard yeah I get that. I miss the associations made through the original groups
