+1 for launching it in Delhi and Bay Area =) Though I did not see the option to send a gift to someone in Delhi... A couple of nit picks/feedback - Why do you need a full DOB (MM/DD/YYYY) to register? Just MM/DD should be sufficient for a birthday reminder of sorts and should be optional at best. Second, I tried picking a recipient whose phone number starts with 650 but was told their city doesn't qualify yet. It's tricky but how about all the folks who are local to the Bay area but don't necessarily have a 408 number (that includes me)?

@sarthakgrover If you are in the US, you should be able to gift anyone. Can you try again?

@rgupta29 I suspect this has something to do with the way the number is formatted in the contacts though I am not seeing a consistent pattern. For this number it is saved as (650)###-#### and some other numbers in the same format are reporting the same error "Sorry this gift is not available in your friend's city..."

This is a super cool and helpful product. I'd like to offer a bit of branding feedback. Seems that the main goal or key interaction is gifting. Maybe the name should reference "gifting" instead of "video" which seems like an optional feature. I'm sure you thought about this a bit. How did you guys land on that decision? Good luck!

@keithbarney thanks for your feedback. yes the reason being we wanted a name that does not sound like gifting. And we liked Vidzy name, also video is an integral part..

@keithbarney I resonate with this too. Even if video is an integral part of the gifting process, some users might want to send a picture as a way of thanking the sender, or just a text response. How about Giftzy? ;)

Thanks @erictwillis for liking the product and hunting it. Guys we have started Vidzy beta in San Francisco and some parts of Bay area 15 days back and the response has been fantastic! We have grown organically to 60 gifters and have done gifting worth $1000. The idea is to help people strengthen social ties through casual gifting like Beer, Coffee, Wine etc. Sometimes texting "Congrats" or "Thanks" or "Thinking about you" to friends and colleagues isn't enough. Instead you can actually send them a coffee or beer within few clicks to make them feel special. There are some magical moments while gifting through Vidzy- 1. You need not to know anything more than mobile number of the person you want to gift. No need to know the address, preferred timings or coffee preferences while gifting a coffee. We take care of all of this. 2. You can also add a video message when you send the gift to make it more personal. 3. We personally deliver the gift to make the whole experience delightful. Our happiness agents make sure that the recipient feels special and sends a thank you video message back to the gifter. Go ahead and give it a try! Would love to know your feedback. Guys you can also use the Gift code- 'PRODUCTHUNT' for a 25% off on your first gift. Shh.. we don't give out discount codes, so be quick :-)!

Have used @Vidzy to send 2-3 gifts in April - a coffee for a hectic day for my partner, wine for a friend's bday and beers to a friend who just did something pretty awesome. Open app > chose a gift > optional video message > chose phone number > done. No hassle of coordinating gift timing, address and zipcodes, location of the person at the delivery time - none of that old school stuff. Love it ....

I always wished if there's an easy way to send some goodies to our new users @horntell. I guess, now I can! That too, with just a tap.

It's a brilliant concept. Casual gifting or no-occasion gifting as I call it, despite frequent need, doesn't happen due to lack of time availability and logistics of delivery - Vidzy solves both! All the best to the team. Expect few orders from me soon
