		<description>We hope mobile commerce trends increase as well.

We just launched our first iPhone app called GiftCards powered by GiftCertificates.com that makes it easy for users to order gift cards from top brands (Macy&#039;s, REI, Gap, etc.) natively from the app.  We&#039;re hoping this kind if innovation will help make it easier for customers to buy this holiday season - even if that means shopping while on-the-go.

So far our sales have been somewhat tepid (we just launched), but we&#039;re hoping they will pick up soon.

		<description>Overall spending will be down but I think that online shopping will not drop as sharp as other methods of shopping.  Why go out and waste gas money on products that you can use toward purchases for loved ones this season?  Granted gas prices have dipped, but if your budgeting for Christmas, the free shipping deals online seem much more cost effective than loading up the wagon to hit up the brick and mortars.  

Also, maybe the recession will help shift the paradigm of shopping into more of an online dominated role.</description>
