your best friends from home."
Added Imme Rog, VriendenLoterij's managing director: "Wrapp has found a new way
of combining smartphones and social media for giving presents online, and that
includes VriendenLoterij lottery tickets. What we really like is that your own
family and friends recommend VriendenLoterij. This makes it so much nicer and
more personal."

Swedish Roots
Wrapp began its unique brand of social gifting in Sweden in November last year.
In March this year Wrapp took its service to Norway and the U.K., and in April
introduced its service in the U.S.
During the last five months nearly 250,000 active Wrapp users have given their
Facebook friends more than 1.8 million free gift cards that could be redeemed in
stores operated by some 70 major U.S. and European retailers.
Participating merchants report that each sale averages four to six times the
value of the free gift card they let Wrapp users give to their friends.
