1. See the gift upon signing in to BigTent, along with the message and the sender’s details (name and profile picture). You can then close this window or give a new gift to the sender.
2. See an alert in the “greetings box” on the “my bigtent” page. A “Gift Alerts” message will appear here with a count of the new gifts received. Once you click to view the gift alert, you will see your gift along with the message and the sender's details. To dismiss your "Gift Alert," click on the gift image. When you close this window, your "gift alert" will disappear.
3. Receive an email notification, if you have elected to receive email notifications for new gifts. You will have the option to click ‘View gift’ from the link in this email. Doing so will take you to BigTent where the gift will be displayed in the middle of the screen as described above. You can manage this preference by navigating to my bigtent > settings > email options > personal notifications. Simply make your selection under “My Gifts” and save your changes.
4. See your gifts on the "what's new" page in the "my bigtent" area. Other group members will see that you have a new gift in the "Recent Activity" area of their "what's new" page and will be able to see the gift on your profile. However, depending on the gift type (public vs. private), members may or may not see the message and sender of the gift.
