Distinctive & pre-owned gifts

Mintel highlights demand for unique gifts, smaller brands and more curated discovery, with openness to second-hand gifting when presentation and confidence are right. That directly strengthens FGB's Gift Finder direction.

What this changes

Our first live-feed priorities.

When approved product feeds are connected, FINDGOBUY will prioritise categories where demand, comparison value and merchant inventory overlap โ€” rather than filling the catalogue randomly.

Merchant fit matters. eBay is especially useful for refurbished tech, electronics, gaming and sports inventory. Beauty and prestige gifting will be stronger when specialist/authorised retail partners are connected, where authenticity and returns confidence can be clearer.
