Overview

The Node Gift module provides an ability for users to "buy" nodes for each one if they have enough Userpoints.

The idea is simple. You have community on your website. Users receiving virtual moneys (Userpoints) during the activity (writing articles, uploading images, commenting, etc). How to motivate them to be more active on your site? This is why Node Gift module was created! With Node Gift you can create unlimited number of gift nodes and every user can "buy" node for another. Gifts are displayed on user profile page under Gifts tab.
