My name is Dr Ines Branco-Illodo (University of Stirling) and together with Dr Liudmila Ostrovskaya Fedorova (University of Alicante, Spain) and Dr Teresa Heath (Universidade de Minho, Portugal) we are researching gift giving in new contexts. 

We would like to invite you to take part in a research study about how people use digital technologies in gift-giving and receiving. This study explores how technology influences gift-giving and receiving practices and aims to understand how digital tools shape gifting experiences.

You will be asked to complete a short questionnaire with your preference on how you would like to participate in the study (participate in an interview or report a single experience online). 

Following this, we will ask you to sign a consent form expressing your agreement to take part in the study. The interview will last less than 1 hour. We can stop earlier or continue for a little longer if you wish to do so. You can always tell us about your stories if you wish to do so.
