Facebook Expands Its Virtual Gift Shop

Facebook Virtual Gifts


Facebook announced that they are redesigning the Facebook Gift Shop. New categories of gifts and additional gifts for charity, music and sports from developers are being added.
We're continuing to enhance the Facebook Gift Shop so you have more ways to express your appreciation for the people in your life. A couple months ago, we took a first step by testing new types of gifts created by developers, including e-cards, charity donations and even real-world gifts where you can buy a friend a physical gift along with a virtual one.

We now are unveiling a newly stocked and redesigned Gift Shop, with new categories of gifts and additional gifts for charity, music and sports from developers. With so many gifts available, we also introduced a new design to make it easier for you to browse and purchase gifts with different gift categories. We will be rolling these changes out to everyone in the coming weeks, so don't worry if you don't see them just yet.

Remember, in order to buy Facebook Gifts, you must purchase credits on the site using a major credit card. Credits cost 10 cents in U.S. currency, and they are available for purchase in 15 currencies. After you select your gift, click "Buy," and we'll walk you through the rest.
Some of the gifts tie-in with actual gifts while other virtual gifts do nothing but appear on a Facebook user's profile. It is unclear why anyone would want to spend money to have a tiny graphic appear on someone's profile but people are buying them. Virtual good sales are poised to hit the $1 billion mark in 2010. However, that total includes virtual games. The exact amount spent on silly Facebook virtual gifts is unknown.

Britney Spears Facebook Icons


A series of Britney Spears virtual gifts is now available for sale on Facebook. You can see the gifts here. BritneySpears.com says the gifts were designed by Susan Kare, the designer of some of original Macintosh computer icons in 1980s. The gifts cost $2 each.

We have to wonder how much Facebook is making from people gifting these virtual icons.
