Gone are the days of sending physical gift boxes that take weeks to arrive and often get stuck in customs. In 2025, the "Digital Gift" is the new standard. Your smartphone is the sleigh, and your transfer app is the reindeer.
With the Raast system and mobile wallets, a "Christmas gift" sent from London at 10:00 AM arrives in a village near Sahiwal by 10:05 AM. This allows families to shop for exactly what they need, exactly when they need it.
Expats are realizing that physical gifts are expensive to ship. By using a fee-free online platform, they can send the full value of the gift in cash, allowing their families to support local Pakistani businesses during the holidays.
