As a busy mom and wife, I never seem to have as much time as I want to spend with my friends or to let them know how much I care about them. Any girl’s night out requires carefully scheduling dates and meticulous maneuvering of babysitters (when I can find one!), reservations and movie times. Parties mean last minute shopping for a hostess gift or prepping a perfect dish to share. Birthdays and special occasions often leave me wondering just what to buy for people who have everything that truly matters – families, career, health and happiness.

But my friends are precious and I want them to know just how much they mean to me, especially right now during this time in my life. That’s why I am excited to discover Ticlr.com. Even the name makes me smile!

Ticlr is a new service that lets you “tickle” someone with a gift or gesture. I can tickle a friend a week’s worth of drop off or pick ups at school. I can tickle Matty with a romantic dinner for two once he is feeling up for a night out, which will hopefully be soon! I can give my friends and family the gift of my time and a personal gesture that let’s them know how much I truly, truly appreciate them. Plus, the Ticlr website has a Gift Locker full of popular gift ideas, so I can “borrow” someone else’s great idea. Plus, gifts from Ticlr are delivered immediately –so I don’t have any excuse for missing an important occasion.

I just think it’s genius.

Ticlr is a fast and easy way to give a gift – and the service is free. Giving gifts via Ticlr can be as simple as giving an hour of my time to my mom to run errands one day or treating a friend to coffee and conversation. Either way, using Ticlr is an easy way to show people how much I care, even when I’m are at my busiest – which, lately, seems to be all the time.
