hi5 is certainly targeting very specific occasions, unlike other social networks that have more generic gifts for sale. For example, you can now buy a "Rosca" - a cake that Mexicans traditionally eat on January 6th to celebrate Three Kings' Day - or a dreidel, which is a popular toy for children during the Jewish holiday Hanukkah.

All of the hi5 virtual gifts come "wrapped" so that your recipient can feel like they are really opening it, including the crinkle of the wrapping paper. With a massive international audience in regions like Latin America I think we can expect to see even more culturally specific virtual gifts hitting their store soon.
