Gift Me Five: try a gift before you buy

A collectible Telegram gift costs real money, yet there is no way to see how it will look on your profile until you've bought it. Gift Me Five fixes exactly that. It lets you try a gift on, and it also gives away rare gifts every day. 🎁

The name plays on the high-five gesture, and the app's activity points are little hands too 🖐.

Try first, buy later

Upgraded Telegram gifts can be worn. They turn into an emoji status next to your name and tint your profile background to match the collectible's model. It looks great, but every piece has its own backdrop, pattern and model, so the end result is hard to predict.

In Gift Me Five you pick a gift and preview it on your own profile. That saves money, since dropping an option during the try-on is easier than reselling a gift that doesn't suit you.

The gift queue

The second feature is giveaways. They run every day, and the gift queue helps you take part. The more active you are in the app, the closer you move to your prize. ⏳

• Daily giveaways. A shot at winning rare gifts.
• The queue. Activity moves you forward toward your prize.
• High fives 🖐. Points awarded for actions inside the app.

The app has no token of its own, so these points are purely internal, not cryptocurrency.

Wearing a gift without the app

If you already own a gift, Telegram lets you wear it natively:

1. Profile. Open your profile and go to the gifts section.
2. Pick. Tap an upgraded collectible gift.
3. Wear. Choose Wear, and the gift becomes your status with a matching profile background.

You need Telegram Premium for this, since emoji statuses only work with it.

Getting started

1. Launch. Tap Open and the mini app starts inside Telegram.
2. Try on. Pick a gift from the catalog and preview your profile with it.
3. Queue up. Join the gift queue and drop in regularly to move ahead.
4. Points. Collect high fives for activity.

A realistic view of giveaways

Giveaways in mini apps work as marketing. The project hands out some gifts to attract and keep users. Few people win, and no prize is guaranteed. 🎲

• No payment. Entering a giveaway should never cost money.
• Watch your DMs. A message saying you won and need to pay for delivery is a scam.
• Gifts arrive in Telegram. A real prize lands in your profile, never through handing over your account or login code.

Still, the real value of Gift Me Five is the try-on. It helps you choose a gift before you spend Stars on it. ⭐
