FOSTER CITY, Calf.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec. 19, 2000

WishClick, Inc. (www.wishclick.com), the best way to give and receive gifts, today announced the addition of three leading retailers to the WishClick Retailer Network.

Online shoppers can now access WishClick gift-related services at The Bombay Company, Inc. (NYSE:BBA), Gump's By Mail and ShopSports.com. These retailers join nearly 40 leading retail partners in the expanding WishClick Retailer Network.

WishClick Retailer Network partners offer access to WishClick features in their individual "look and feel" so that consumers can focus on the experience of shopping from the diverse selections available for holiday gifts. WishClick helps shoppers post or search for Wish Lists, send themed e-cards to make it easy to exchange information on desired gifts, and manage their holiday shopping with a portable Address Book that travels from site to site with the shopper.

"We are very excited to be selected by these top retailers as a business partner for such an important part of the consumer shopping experience. By joining the WishClick Network, retailers can enhance customer satisfaction and gain an edge in today's highly competitive market quickly," said Scott Sangster, president and CEO of WishClick. "It is expensive and time-consuming for a retailer to build its own Wish List capabilities. In addition to offering a compelling service for consumers, WishClick's unique activity reporting provides retailers with information to help them merchandise and market effectively."
