» How do I get to my inventory? «


To send a start in your inventory.
You can get there by going into the My Gaia drop down menu and clicking Inventory. (Third option on the left)



or by scrolling down to the bottom of the page and clicking on "My Stuff"

» OK so I am at my inventory «


You can browse through the tabs for different categories. Or search for an item in the search bar.
Then you click on the item you want to send someone.
Along the bottom of the box click "Gift Item"
This will bring you to a new page.

» Give a Gift «

1st: Select the wrapping

2nd: Put who the gift is for. You can either select one of your friends or put in another users name in the box.

3rd: Add a message. This is an optional step, but it allows you to send a little message along with your gift.

4th: Under the message box is a check box asking if you want to send it anonymously. Click it if you do. Leave it alone if you want them to know it's from you. If you click it then Gaia will tell them it's from an anon user.

5th: Put in your password and hit submit. Then a confirmation screen will pop up and you'll have to confirm that everything looks right. If it does hit send if not you can edit.

You will be shown one of three messages. Gaia will tell you it was successfully sent, that the Gaian isn't receiving gifts, or not to refresh while sending.

The first means it sent.
The second means they have gifting turned off, to friends only, or are not accepting anonymous gifts. It will tell you what their settings are.
The third one is if you're doing other things at the same time. Often it still sends it.

You can check to see if a gift was sent by going to your trades. A gift list is on the right side.
Trades can be checked a few ways.
Go to the shops drop down menu, bottom on the right side.
You can also get there from the shops and the marketplace.

After confirming for the gift to be sent, it may also give you a "General Error" message sometimes, but it usually means nothing. The gift still went through. (It has been doing this to me for the past month or so.)
