A new app has been launched by giftideasfortwo.com in a bid to help the growing number of forgetful Britons remember key occasions in the lives of their family and friends.

The Remind-a-GIFT app uses a unique programme that has enabled users to synch their birthdays, wedding anniversaries and other key gifting occasions with friends and family. The app presents an automatically updated list of events due to happen over the next month, with a countdown and direct links to the Gift Ideas for Two website.

The app followed from research by Sheila’s Wheels which showed that half of men don’t know the date of their own wedding anniversary and one in four has bought flowers at a petrol station.

Shaun Powell, managing director of Gift Ideas for Two, has said: “We’re delighted to launch Remind-a-GIFT today and save countless people across the UK the embarrassment of forgetting birthdays, anniversaries and other special occasions.

“We’re sure friendships will be saved and families kept on speaking terms through people using the app; not to mention giving us the help we all need sometimes to purchase gifts for those ‘hard to buy for’ friends and family. We also hope that through the app, petrol stations flowers and panic-bought gifts will become a thing of the past!” he continued.
