Parents can personalize the story with the child’s teacher’s name, school name, and favorite subject.

ABOUT GIFTVENTURE
A Gifventure is a personalized adventure that leads to a gift you hide. To create a GIFTVENTURE, the gift giver goes to http://www.giftventure.com. Simple questions are answered including the child’s name and interests. During registration, the giver enters a location where a gift they have purchased will be hidden. The answers are incorporated into a series of letters, making the adventure highly personalized. Ordering takes less than 5 minutes.

When a GIFTVENTURE order is placed, the recipient receives a series of letters via U.S. Postal Service from a mythical character selected during registration. Characters can be dragons, pirates, pirncess fairies, or seasonal favorites such as the Easter Bunny or Santa Claus. The letters arrive over a one-week period and introduce a puzzle that, once solved, leads to the location of a hidden gift. Solving the GIFTVENTURE teaches patience, organization, problem-solving and stimulates the imagination of the child who receives the gift. Children ages 4-12.

**GIFTVENTURE retails for $19.95 plus shipping and handling.
