Today's Parent Gift Finder Mobile Application - A Real Present for Parents
TORONTO, Oct. 19 /CNW/ – Just in time for the holiday season, Rogers
Media announced today the launch of Today’s Parent‘s first mobile application, the Today’s Parent Gift Finder application available for iPhone, iTouch, and iPad.
The free Today’s Parent Gift Finder application lets users find the perfect gift for any child
based on a child’s age, play preference and price range. Users can also
create wish lists for each child they are buying for and share the list
with others through email, Facebook and SMS.
The majority of the toys in the Gift Finder come from the Today’s Parent “Top Toys” list, a highly anticipated annual feature in Today’s Parent magazine. The Today’s Parent Gift Finder Application is the first iPhone application from a Canadian parenting
magazine brand.
“The Today’s Parent Gift Finder application is a great tool for anyone with a child on
their shopping list – anytime of the year,” says Claude Galipeau, SVP &
GM, Digital Media, Rogers Media Inc. “We are excited to launch this
application using the reliable reviews from Today’s Parent to help parents, relatives and friends, pick out the best presents for
the children in their lives. Santa himself will want this app!”
Presented by Toys”R”Us, Canada’s Greatest Toy Store, this app not only
helps gift givers find the perfect toy, but gives them the opportunity
to save money while doing so. In the holiday spirit, when users
download the app, they will receive a special code which entitles them
to save $5 off any purchase of $25 or more at Toys”R”Us stores across
Canada or online at www.toysrus.ca.
The Today’s Parent Gift Finder iPhone app will be available exclusively to Rogers Wireless
and Fido customers when accessing through a 3G connection and available
to all users via their wi-fi connection. The content can also be
accessed on all Web-enabled mobile phones at Todaysparent.com.
