## What is Gift Guide?

Skip the wishlist. Keep the surprise. Gift Guide is the wishlist alternative for family and friends: share what you love, and they choose something you'll really enjoy.

A wish list tells people exactly what to buy. Your Guide tells them what you love, so they can pick something thoughtful and you still get to be surprised.

BUILD YOUR GUIDE
• Add the interests you really care about, from gardening to baking to vintage cameras
• For each one, share why you love it, the kinds of things you'd enjoy, and what to skip
• Show what you already own so nobody gives you a duplicate
• Add sizes, favorite colors and tips in Good to Know

SHARE IT YOUR WAY
• Send a private link or QR code. Family and friends can open it in any browser, no app needed
• Publish a Public Guide with your own @handle
• Choose what each audience sees, and change or stop sharing any time

THOUGHTFUL GIFTS FOR EVERYONE YOU LOVE
• Save the people you shop for and see their Guides in one place
• Keep private notes, Gift Ideas and Past Gifts for each person. They never see them
• See birthdays, Christmas and other holidays and occasions, with optional reminders
• Make Guides for people who don't use the app, like kids or grandparents

CELEBRATE TOGETHER IN GROUPS
• Create a Group for family or friends and invite people with a link
• See members' shared Guides and upcoming occasions in one place

Whether it's a Christmas list or a birthday, your Guide gives everyone better gift ideas than a gift list ever could, without giving the surprise away.

Gift Guide is free, with no ads, in-app purchases or subscriptions. Sign in with Google or Apple. Accounts are for ages 13 and up.

### 5/5 — Soooooo convenient!

*2026-11-10*

Being able to put interests instead of links is so refreshing! Especially for my toddler! I can make his own guide, keep his clothing & shoe sizes updated! It will make birthday & Christmas shopping for him so easy for family. 

Can’t forget about making groups. Having friend groups, family groups with each side of the family, and even a group just for my husband and myself! Individualizing what interests each group can see makes it helpful as well! For example, I just want my husband to know what kind of jewelry items I want, but not friends! 

I’m excited to use this for my upcoming shopping trips. When I see something in a shop or a Christmas market that I think they’ll like, I will just check their guide really quick to make sure they’d love it!

Go ahead and download this app to make your holiday season easier!!! But remember you can use it year round for birthdays, celebrations, anniversaries, etc!
