Asking for money can be fun

Thanks so much to everyone who came out to Amber Lounge on last Wednesday night to celebrate All Things Wishful's launch!  It was amazing to be surrounded by a large room of people who had come out to get excited with us about our business.  Despite the rainy, windy weather (did we mention we are in Seattle?), the stars aligned for our launch party.  In keeping with All Things Wishful's goal of helping engaged couples get the gifts they want, our co-host was fellow Seattle start-up was CupidsPlay, a clever social gaming and online dating site started by  veteran entrepreneurs and friends of ours.  Add a signature drink named Cupid's Wish (for CupidsPlay and All Things Wishful - get it?) and a couple hundred very nice-looking (and very nice) people, and we had the perfect celebration of our businesses.  Kudos to Arry for orchestrating this fabulous night.

All night, as we were telling our guests about our awesome product, we were again struck by how what All Things Wishful does seems to really resonate with people.  Sometimes, the most thoughtful gift is cash.  With cash, you can get what you want, when you want, from wherever want.  The only thing is that it isn't always an easy thing to ask for.  Well, that's what All Things Wishful is here for.  We make asking for money fun and easy.  AND we make giving money fun and meaningful for your friends.  Check out our cool platform at: www.allthingswishful.com.

At last, All Things Wishful is alive!

At long last, after a year of anticipation, All Things Wishful is up and running!  

Here is a little bit about All Things Wishful for those of you who have followed us but don't yet quite know what we're all about.

We are a gift registry and fundraising platform that stemmed out of our belief that gift giving and receiving should be meaningful, easy and fun.  We are about offering gift receivers the flexibility to choose what they really want rather than what is available at the store.  We are about offering gift givers the satisfaction of giving gifts that the receiver truly wants rather than a gift that was requested merely because of their accessibility.  Our company mantra is “No more waste!” – We are about giving both gift receivers and givers a gift exchange experience that reduces waste in shipping and handling costs as well as returns.

As with every start-up, this past year of building All Things Wishful has been filled with a lot of fun as well as a few set-backs.  What kept us going through tough times is our conviction that our site is absolutely necessary in the world of gift giving and fundraising.  Michael, Arry and I (Mina) are so excited that we are finally at a point that we can share our site with you!
