The Swift Gift - Gift Guides

Affiliate Disclosure

Being transparent about how I recommend and link to products.

FTC Disclosure: Some links on this site are affiliate links, meaning I may earn a small commission if you purchase through them — at no extra cost to you.

My Commitment to Honest Recommendations

At The Swift Gift, I believe in being completely transparent with my readers. When I recommend a product, it's because I truly believe it could make a great gift — not because of how much commission I might earn. My primary goal is to provide you with high-quality, trustworthy gift ideas.

Affiliate Partnership Disclosure

I participate in several affiliate programs, including (but not limited to):

  • Amazon Associates Program
  • Various retailer affiliate networks
  • Brand partnership programs

These programs allow me to earn a small commission when you make a purchase through my links — at no extra cost to you. The price you pay is exactly the same whether you use my link or go directly to the retailer.

IMPORTANT: Understanding Who You're Buying From

This is critical for knowing where to get customer support if you need it:

🛒 Products I Sell Directly

These are products (like digital downloads or guides) that you purchase directly on this website through my shopping cart. For these items:

  • ✅ I personally handle the transaction
  • ✅ I provide full customer support
  • ✅ You can contact me directly with any questions or issues
  • ✅ These are clearly labeled as "sold by The Swift Gift"

🔗 Products Through Affiliate Links

Most product recommendations link to other retailers (like Amazon, Target, etc.). For these purchases:

  • 🏪 Your transaction is with that retailer, not with me
  • 🏪 The retailer handles all customer service, returns, and shipping
  • 🏪 I cannot help with order issues, delivery problems, or returns
  • 🏪 For any problems, contact the retailer's customer service directly

Your Shopping Privacy: When you purchase through an affiliate link, I never see any personal details about who you are, what you buy, or how much you spend. The affiliate programs only tell me that a sale was made — nothing more.

How This Affects My Recommendations

I value your trust over commissions. Here's what that means:

  • I only recommend products I'd genuinely choose for my own friends and family
  • Affiliate programs may use cookies to track purchases, but these are anonymous to The Swift Gift — I never see who you are or what you buy
  • Commission rates never influence which products I feature or recommend
  • I research products carefully, reading reviews and checking quality before suggesting them
  • I try to include multiple purchasing options when available
  • I always disclose when links are affiliate links so you can make informed choices
  • If I find a better product that pays no commission, I'll still recommend the better product
  • I never accept free products or payment in exchange for positive reviews

Why I Use Affiliate Links

These small affiliate commissions help me:

  • Keep all content on The Swift Gift completely free for readers
  • Dedicate time to researching and testing gift ideas
  • Regularly update guides with new finds and seasonal recommendations
  • Pay for website hosting, tools, and improvements

If you find my guides helpful, using these links is a simple, no-cost way to support the site — and I am sincerely grateful for it! But please only purchase items you genuinely want or need.

Price Transparency

When I mention prices in my guides:

  • Prices are accurate at the time of writing but may change
  • I am not responsible for price changes by retailers
  • Always check the current price on the retailer's website before purchasing
  • Sales, discounts, and availability may vary

Product Reviews & Recommendations

My gift recommendations are based on:

  • Extensive research of customer reviews and ratings
  • Product quality, durability, and value
  • Suitability for the intended recipient and occasion
  • Personal experience when I've used the product myself
  • Feedback from readers who have purchased items

I do not guarantee that any product will meet your specific needs or expectations. I encourage you to research products further and read recent reviews before making purchasing decisions.

Questions?

If you have any questions about my affiliate relationships, recommendation process, or need clarification about whether a product is sold by me or through an affiliate link, please don't hesitate to contact me.

For information about how your personal data is collected and used, please read my Privacy Policy.
