"That's why our sponsors love homeGoodies.com," added Steinfeld, the creator of the virtual gift basket. "It's an efficient service for our sponsors because they reach new homeowners in real-time, precisely when they are most likely to buy. It's valuable for the gift basket recipients, because they get great deals on the things they really need. And for the person who comes to our site and sends the basket, it's rewarding because they'll get thanked for being so thoughtful." The homeGoodies.com site is now up and running with a full basket of housewarming gifts from national, well-known sponsors - including a major insurance company, bank, home security company, and online retailers art.com, furnitureFind.com, and nobrainerblinds.com. And yes, you can even send a homeGoodies Virtual Gift Basket to yourself! To send a basket
