Great gifts deserve a great surprise — so we built the whole app around keeping it. Everyone can keep a wish list. Everyone can shop for each other. But the person you're spoiling never sees the gift lists made for them — not the budget, not the chosen gifts, not who already grabbed what. Their surprise stays safe while the rest of the family happily plots behind the scenes. THREE WAYS TO CAPTURE AN IDEA • Wishes — the things you'd love to receive, visible to everyone who shops for you. As you shop year round, add a wish including adding an optional link, photo from your library, or snap a photo on the spot. • Suggestions — ideas friends and family propose FOR you. Accept one to add it to your wish list, or politely decline. You're always in control of your own list. • Secret Gifts — a private surprise a shopper adds straight to a gift list. It never appears on your wish list, and you can never see it. Truly hush-hush. GIFT LISTS THAT FIT REAL LIFE • Set a spending limit per gift list — each shopper keeps their own budget for the same person. • See planned vs. spent at a glance, with a budget bar that warns before you overspend. • Share a list with a partner, or run a "proxy" list on behalf of someone who'll never use the app (a grandparent, a young child). • Mark gifts purchased, then "Mark Done" when the occasion passes — finished lists move to a tidy history you can reopen anytime. FAMILY SHARING & PRIVACY • Invite your family to collaborate — everyone shares the wishes and gift planning, and no one can spoil their own surprise. • Syncs through your own iCloud (Apple's private database). No third-party servers, no ads, no tracking. Birthdays, the holidays, Mother's Day, Father's Day and more — plan together, spoil no one, and watch their face when they have no idea it was coming. The gift-planning app that actually keeps the secret.
