Important Notice
FRIENDLY HEADS-UP: GiftMani.org is completely free to use—always has been, always will be (at least for now!). We don't sell anything, charge for anything, or process payments of any kind. This refund policy? It's here "just in case" we ever change our model in the future, but honestly, we're pretty committed to keeping everything free and accessible.
