Fifteen birthdays a year. You remember four and know what to gift for one. GIFTbase is a gift finder, a birthday reminder, wishlist and secret santa in one app. It keeps every date and finds gift ideas for each person: ideas that fit who they actually are, with links to buy where you live. Tell the app who the gift is for: what they're into, what you want to spend, what the occasion is. You get a feed of specific gift ideas, each with a short reason it suits that person, and a link to buy it in your city. WHAT YOU CAN DO Find gift ideas for one specific person: Set the occasion, the budget and the recipient. Swipe through the ideas: right to keep, left to skip. Every idea comes with a line explaining why it fits them. Tap through to buy in your city. Keep a profile for everyone you buy for: Interests, tastes, what they already own, the thing they mentioned in passing in March. The more a profile knows, the closer the ideas land. One profile works all year: a birthday in June, Christmas in December, an anniversary in between. Never miss a date again: Birthdays, anniversaries, work milestones, public holidays. All in one calendar, with reminders early enough that you can still do something about it. Build a wishlist people can actually use: Add anything from any store with a link. One tap, no retyping. Share the list, or edit it together with family and friends. Stop getting the same present twice: Friends reserve items from your wishlist anonymously and see what is already taken. You keep the surprise. Run a Secret Santa for any group: Create a game in a few steps: budget, dates, how you'll swap gifts and one of 10 room themes. Invite friends by link, code or QR. Couples won't draw each other, and you can add players without a phone, like grandma or the kids, and play for them. Everyone opens their match in an envelope, adds wishes or links a GIFTbase wishlist, and can ask their match questions anonymously. When you're stuck, get gift ideas for your match: instant picks from the catalog based on their interests, plus a full personal gift search, free once a season. If you swap by mail, only your Santa sees your address. Friends can play in the app or right in their browser, without signing up. Make the handover worth remembering: Generate a personal scenario for giving the gift. In "Apartment Detective" the app writes a chain of riddle notes based on real hiding places in your home, leading the person to what is waiting for them. FOR EVERY OCCASION AND EVERY PERSON Birthdays, Christmas, Secret Santa at the office, weddings, anniversaries, Valentine's Day, Mother's Day. For a partner, a parent, a coworker you barely know, or the friend who has everything. Any occasion, any budget: the ideas adjust to the person. WHAT IT COSTS Free, always: • Event calendar and reminders • Creating, sharing and editing wishlists • Booking gifts from your friends' lists • Following what the people around you want • One hand-picked Gift of the Week • Secret Santa games: the draw, wishes, anonymous questions and the gift swap • One full gift search for your Secret Santa match every season • Three gift searches to start: one right away, 21 more for easy first steps, 200+ gift ideas free • One more free search every month if you run out, and extra searches for inviting friends Paid, if you want it: • Extra searches, bought as you need them • Subscription: 10 gift searches every month that roll over, personal giving scenarios, a questionnaire about your recipient, two more Gifts of the Week, and priority processing The calendar, the reminders and the wishlists stay free whether you pay or not. Download GIFTbase and stop opening a browser tab called "gift ideas for mom" three days before her birthday.
