Facebook sent an invitation to members of the press late Thursday for an event scheduled in New York City to "come see what's new with Facebook Gifts."
The invitation -- which also includes the words "You = Invited" in front of a grey-scale packaged gift -- will be held at FAO Schwarz toy store on Thursday, Nov. 1 at 7:30 p.m.
This marks the latest tech company to hold a press event in the upcoming weeks.
The news comes shortly after Facebook announced it will allow members to buy and send real gifts to friends. The service will gradually be rolled out to those in the U.S.
Although the company launched a virtual gift shop in the past, this is the platform's first foray into tangible gifts.
Are you excited about the new Gifts service? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below.
