Presentail.com: Gift Shopping For Lebanese Expats Made Easy

Leaving your family and friends behind to start a life abroad is never an easy decision, and the difficulty of the situation dawns upon expats when they find themselves too far to celebrate special occasions with their loved ones.

In an effort to stay close to their family and homeland, expats settle for sending gifts like flowers and balloons, which according to business partners Adnan Ammache and Farah Ali Hasan, tends to be a hassle, especially with nearly 90% of local-based businesses not introducing online-shopping.

Taking matters into their own hands, the young expats created Presentail.com.

The website serves as a platform for connecting expats with their beloved homeland, and bringing them closer to their family and friends. Four weeks after its launch, the e-commerce has proven to be a success among Lebanese living in the UAE, Africa, America, and Canada.

Though the platform started with only four local vendors, selling chocolate, flowers, popsicles, and Arabic sweets, they intend to add more hustling businesses to their presentail family, introducing more products to cater for different occasions and supporting local enterprises.

The website is infinitely easy to use, and is even being utilized by people living here.

The simple process is as such:

– Go to the website
– Select the designated occasion/category
– Select a gift that is guaranteed to put a smile on your loved one’s face
– Check out and finalize delivery and payment details
– Sit back and let the team do their magic!

You’re now one gift closer to home.
