Have you gifted any of your favorite DLive streamers yet?

Did you know that you can send a hug, some adorable hearts, or even a golden ring as gifts during (or after) the streams? It's true! I'm actually a bit addicted to it, myself!

And if that's too frilly and silly for you, you can also just send a flat donation right there as you watch the stream instead of having to go back to your wallet to make a transfer. And, bonus, it's cheap!

Many streamers even have their settings adjusted in such a way that when your gift goes through it makes a fun little (or big) noise on the stream as it happens. It could be the sound of a bell or even an explosion. This is the point in time also when the streamers will see that you've gifted and feel happy about it and maybe even mention your name during the stream. We all love to hear our names called, don't we? Maybe it's just me. If you say my name it makes me happy. Say my name! I will smile.

As a streamer you can encourage gifting via instant gifting sounds and images on your stream as they happen

Yep! How fun is this? If you're a streamer, you should take advantage of that tool because I can assure you that it motivates people like me (who love that kind of thing) to actually donate a little bit more than normally would be donated. Because FUN!

(I was told that https://tidylabs.stream/ is a good site to use to make this happen. And you can find sounds at https://www.myinstants.com or create your own. I'm sure there are plenty of ways to do this. )

What exactly can you give?

You can give single or multiple gifts, the prices below are for one gift. For instance you could send 50 hearts for $0.50 or a single heart for a penny or 0.01 steem. 10 golden rings for $10 steem or SBD. You can also send more than one type of gift per stream. You can gift as often as you like.

It's my opinion that we should be supporting the streamers we love, and this is a fun way to do it.

It benefits all parties involved. What's not to love? And another bonus, you can give gifts on posts that are past the 7 day payout deadline.

I tested it out on @joseacabrerav's video below, which is past the one week payout date. If you look at the gifting button you'll see that @paintingangels donated $0.10. (click below to see)

Yep! I sent him a hug. I feel like that's pretty awesome of me. But don't fret, my pets. You, too, can be awesome and gifty like Serena. (Maybe people might like you better if you don't refer to yourself in third person like I do, though.)

And, hey... sidenote.. you should be listening to @joseacabrerav sing and play music because, wow. He's amazing. And he's such a sweet person. He deserves infinite hugs! You can try gifting on his video right now if you want to get in some practice or just be momentarily fantastic!

I'm going to leave you with the names of a few very active streamers that I regularly support with hugs and hearts and the even the occasional golden ring! If they're listed here it means they're fantastic, and I hope you'll check them out! Feel free to leave links of your favorite streamers in the comments, or even leave a link to your own stream if you'd like. Maybe you'll get lucky!

Please do check out these fabulous folks below. I love each of them dearly and wish them all the success in the world! These are some of their past streams. (I've gifted all of them! )♥
