This is a new feature that allows you to send birb clothes to your friends! For a delivery fee of 200 Rainbow Stones per item, you can gift one item every day to each of your friends! We’ve been planning for this feature for a long time, and we’re excited it’s ready to launch— we know it’s been a highly requested feature from folks, whether it’s to show someone that you’re thinking of them or if gifting is a natural extension of how you express care.
The next time you open your Finch app, you may see a button on a friend’s profile or in Prickles’ shop that allows you to send a gift to someone you’re thinking about! You may also find that you’ve received a gift from them!

At the moment we’re only introducing the ability to gift birb clothes. This is a big change in itself so we wanted to make sure gifting clothes goes well before we consider expanding the feature. If the feature does well, then we’d love to consider more types of gifts!
Each gift costs 200 Rainbow Stones to send. Additionally, if you are sending an item that you don’t already own (e.g. gifting from Prickles’ shop), you’ll need to afford the purchase cost of the item and the 200 Rainbow Stone gifting cost. So if you’re sending an item from Prickles’ shop and the item costs 900 Rainbow Stones to purchase, the gift will cost 200 + 900 = 1100 total Rainbow Stones to send. Note also that if you’re sending an item that you already own, the item will disappear from your inventory.
Our team wanted to design gifting to be a more personal experience that reflects the care and effort of gifts from real life. We believe that it can be more meaningful to receive a gift when someone puts more thought into the decision, and having a small cost to choose a custom gift box and deliver your gift felt like it could show a stronger gesture of thought and meaning behind the gift!
When you are gifting a friend, you’ll get to choose a gift box color (purple, blue, cyan, green, yellow, or pink)! Once sent, your friend will receive a notification that you’ve sent them a gift where they can claim it from their Home Screen or from their Friends tab!
