How to get and give a dream gift

Whether it’s a day at the spa, a new bike, or a once in a lifetime trip to visit overseas grandparents, a local Vancouver company now has a way to make your dream come true.  Consolidate the gift-giving power of your friends and family using the DreamBank, the brainchild of Vancouver entrepreneur Dawn Bowles.

You can register your dream on DreamBank, then notify your friends and family.  Instead of giving you “stuff” you may not want or need, they can now use their gift-giving dollars to contribute to your dream gift.  The gift giver pays a $2.25 fee per transaction, and the gift receiver pays 2.5% of their total gift to cash it in.
