Hello, dear readers! Today, almost every user, from a young age, is registered on social networks. One of the most popular and largest social networks is the VKontakte website. This platform allows you not only to conduct business and communicate with colleagues, friends or relatives, but also to please them at any time. In this article I will tell you about sending gifts to other users, both in honor of a celebration and just because. You will learn how often free gifts appear and how to forward them to one of your friends. You will become familiar with the features of gift giving both from the web version of the site and from the mobile application. In the future, this will allow you to pleasantly please your interlocutor by giving him a small present.
How to perform an operation from a mobile phone?
Above I described the procedure for sending gifts from the web version. But this function is also available from a mobile phone. It is enough to install the official application and perform the following algorithm of actions:
- Open the application and click on the "Services" button that you will see at the bottom of the screen.
- Select the Friends tab to select a recipient.
- Select the friend to whom you would like to send a gift, go to his page.
- Click on the “Gift” button, which is located closer to the center of the screen.
- Check out the list of available gifts and choose the option you like.
Next you need to perform the same steps as described above. Enter your message, move the slider if you want to show the message text and your name only to the recipient, and then click the Send button.
If there are no funds in your account, then you can top it up from your phone. This procedure will take you just a couple of minutes.
You can add multiple users to the recipients column. In general, the procedure for sending gifts from the web version and the application is not much different. The main thing is to decide what kind of gifts you want to give (paid or not), and make sure that you have the funds to pay, if required.
How to get a more personal answer?
An interesting fact is that if you send a letter to a member of the royal family during a quieter calendar period, such as March, May or August to November, you can receive a much more personalized response than at Christmas.
To do this, be sure to include your own address and postal code on the envelope! The envelope must be designed in accordance with the rules of your country.
While any of us can only get into Buckingham Palace on a guided tour, a New Zealand passport can take you much further. In 2017, a New Zealand couple received an invitation from the Queen to the annual Garden Party.

How to format a letter?
If you want to congratulate someone from the British royal family, you can send either a letter or a card addressing the specific person, but be sure to include the correct title. For example, if you are writing to Elizabeth II, you need to address Her Majesty The Queen. If Kate Middleton and Prince William - then the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge (The Duke & Duchess of Cambridge). If Meghan Markle and Prince Harry - then the Duke and Duchess of Sussex (The Duke & Duchess of Sussex). And so on.
The letter should begin with the respectful “Your Royal Highness”, and if to the Queen, then Your Majesty. It is better to end the letter with the words “Sincerely yours” or “With respect.”
The official website of the royal family says that you should write freely and feel comfortable.
What can you write in a letter? There are no rules - write from the heart, about what you like and what interests you. You can mention an event, tour, or charity that has most influenced you. You can point out what it is that you admire about a particular royal person or the affairs they lead.
While the Cambridges live in Kensington Palace and the Sussexes live in Frogmore Cottage, their mail is received by Clarence House staff (although the Kensington Palace address also works, but mail is still redirected).
How to send a gift without a special occasion?
If you don’t want to wait for a birthday, but want to please a person right now, then you have this opportunity. There are three ways to do this. The first method requires going to the user's page. Under your friend’s avatar there will be a “Write a message” button, and next to it an image of a gift. By clicking on this image, you will be redirected to a page where you can select a suitable gift.
All options will be divided into small groups (relevant, friendship, romance, etc.) for convenience. Here too, by hovering over the picture, you will see the price. After choosing the gift you like and writing a message, click on “Send”.
The further algorithm of actions is the same as I described above. Either send the gift right away, or first top up your account using the above methods.
The second method does not require you to go to your friend's page. Just open a dialogue with him, click on the paperclip icon, and then click on the “Gift” line. Next, a window will open in front of you with the opportunity to choose a suitable gift.
The third method implies that you go to the section of your gifts and click on the “Send a gift” button located at the top. Next you will be offered a list of gifts. Having chosen one of them, all you have to do is indicate the recipient. It is worth noting that you can specify more than one recipient. In this case, they will all receive the same gift, and if you write a message, then it will be the same for everyone.
As you can see, it doesn’t take much effort from you to please your loved one or just an acquaintance. Here we were talking only about paid gifts, but you can also send free ones.
Is it possible to send a gift to yourself?
Many users of the social network VKontakte strive for popularity. One of the indicators of popularity is the presence of many friends, as well as gifts. After all, this means that users remember about you and give you attention.
Fortunately, you can send VKontakte gifts to yourself. It couldn't be easier to do this. However, it is impossible to send a gift to yourself from your own page. For this purpose, you will need to create another account. Then you will need to perform all the same actions from it.

Sending a paid gift
For a surprise in this category you will have to pay with your own money. However, paid gifts evoke much more pleasant emotions in the recipient than free ones.

- Immediately below the avatar, to the right of the send message button, there is a mini-icon with an image of a gift box. Click on it.
- Select the gift you want to give. For your convenience, they are divided into several sections. Current. A selection of gifts according to the time of year and upcoming holidays. For example, in autumn this collection contains yellowed leaves, mushrooms and bears with an umbrella in the pouring rain, and in winter snowflakes and Christmas trees.
- Romance. A set that will help you express your warmest and most sublime feelings. Flowers, hearts, kisses, teddy bears and other cuteness.
- Friendship. Ideal options for demonstrating true male and female friendship. Jokes, gags, memes, expensive cars and suitcases with money - this and much more can be found in the gifts for friends section. By the way, this is the largest selection of gifts.
