New Community Feature: Gifts

Hi everyone!
We are trying out a new feature in the community: GIFTS! Please help us test it and make sure everything works ok across devices

To give someone a GIFT, you need to use the following tag (without spaces):

[ GIFT= push-ups ] 20 [ /GIFT ]

x20

Specify the exercise and the number of reps for your gift. We currently only have:

burpees
high-knees
punches
plank-crunches
push-ups
jumping-jacks
jump-squats
knee-strikes


Once we are sure it works as intended, we'll add more exercises!
You can post below which exercises you want us to prioritize.

How do gifts work?
You are literally gifting someone your effort. So you could give someone 100 jumping jacks for their birthday or - just because. This means that you need to do 100 jumping jacks first and then you can gift them to that person. It's a gift of effort and that's what makes it valuable. Tip: For birthdays, the number of reps that you gift has to be equal to the the age of the giftee.


This was inspired by @Laura Rainbow Dragon ... whose birthday is coming up by the way

Cool!

Let me test one of my favourite exercises:

x10

 

[Sundance]

I can't see the push-ups when I open the gift.

 

[Sundance]

Now I can. I deleted the extra space

 

[PetiteSheWolf]

I don't know if I should say it is really neat, or really cruel.

Wait...

 

[Damer]

@Sólveig ... to come

[neilarey]

Added:

burpees
high-knees
punches
plank-crunches
push-ups

jump-squats
knee-strikes

 

[Damer]

For a moment there, when @neilarey first announced this feature a small evil part of me thought:

and then, once I read how it works it was more like:

But I guess it makes it way more fair and also a gift of true value (what each of us does, elevates those around us). Darn it! Being good and fair ain't easy!

 

[HellYeah]

x 2

pull-ups please

 

[Damer]

@HellYeah I don't see what's inside your gift. Is it a matter of spacing in the tag or did you use an exercise not there yet?

 

[NancyTree]

x21

 

[Damer]

@HellYeah aaaah OK, I shall tag @neilarey (they should be there by tomorrow)

 

[Laura Rainbow Dragon]

Added:

burpees
high-knees
punches
plank-crunches
push-ups
jumping-jacks
jump-squats
knee-strikes

Hmm. I'm sensing that I should probably just go and add all of these to my birthday workout spreadsheet now.

 

[Anek]

Super cool!

 

[Syrius]

This is so cool! Thanks for making it!

 

[bloody dunmeri]

x 20

pull-ups please

chin-ups and tricep dips would be cool, too!

 

[Elocin]

essai ......

x40

 

[AceofSwords]

Squats and the various types of kicks would be awesome additions! And I second pullups / chinups especially because that was my birthday present to myself 5 years ago.

[Jaga]

Wow! this is so awesome

 

[Laura Rainbow Dragon]

Testing with a time-based exercise:

x60 seconds (30 seconds per side)

This is so sweet!

I would love more options for held poses. Like my favourite planks: alternate arm + leg plank, and side star plank.
I don't know if you have images for these, but 3-legged dog and 2-legged dog are also super fun.

It would also be great to have some cardio options to gift to Bees who do low impact.

for creating this feature!
DAREBEE just keeps getting more awesome all the time!

 

[Laura Rainbow Dragon]

Mean for a gift maybe, but just to demo the functionality:

x 3 sets to failure

This is too much fun!

 

[AceofSwords]

I want to offer anyone who chooses to accept....

Very cool.

 

[Damer]

Or ... very us. @TopNotch we are beginning to, indeed, be a very unique crowd.

 

[PetiteSheWolf]

Will you be putting somewhere (a sticky on top of thread for example) the list of supported exercises?
I think the January birthdays are gonna be loaded, LOL!

 

[neilarey]

@PetiteSheWolf hi, yes - we'll add a link at the bottom of the Hive (next to the help link).

[Milda]

It's a wonderful feature, you did it very well, thank you.

[Deadoks]

Question:
Does the person that receive the gift has to do them also then? I mean if I send a gift of my effort it's to give it free.
If I do a planning for the week with my own exercice (cardio, muscle) challenge I'll definitely not redo the gift a receive because it'll not cope to my planning...
I thought gift was a give only (not like the snowball game I saw on the forum where you decide to play or not).

 

[neilarey]

@Deadoks hi, your gift = your effort. The person who received the gift doesn't have to do anything. You are basically doing something for them, in their honor. Think about it like this: "I dedicate this set of push-ups to this person".

I hope this helps.

Thank you @neilarey
It's just that I saw @Laura Rainbow Dragon redoing all gift so I wanted to be sure I understood well.
I just dont wanted to be rude to the gifter if I did not redo gift. But it can then be a huge workout lol.
Then it stays free to the person to redo it or not.

 

[oneironaut]

I love your implementation and how it looks like you're peeking into the box you just opened. Thank you!

[OJJJEM]

There seems to be an issue with opening gifts in private messages...

 

[neilarey]

@OJJJEM thank you for letting us know! It should now be fixed
