Basically, what a site like BoonSpace will allow you to do is to create a kind of multimedia card that will be sent as a gift along with a PayPal (or credit card) payment for the person to buy what he or she wants in real life.
Actually, he/she will buy the gift that you are introducing in your virtual card. That is, the card will display the “real” product that you want to present as a gift to the other person. Since you can’t be there in order to give such a gift personally, your friend will have to go shopping in order to buy it – using the money you have just sent.
It is fair to say that the system is quite functional. As I explained at the beginning, there is a limit to what you can do using a computer, and the attempts to make the webified world resemble the tangible one are mostly insipid. But I give BooonSpace credit for rendering a service that can somehow close distances and let people feel that they are not that alone.
