GIFTbase: Gift Ideas, Wishlist

Fifteen birthdays a year. You remember four and know what to gift for one.

GIFTbase is a gift finder, a birthday reminder and a wishlist app in one. 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 gift ideas land. One profile works all year: birthday gift ideas in June, Christmas gift ideas in December, an anniversary gift in between.

Never miss a date again:
A birthday calendar with anniversaries, work milestones and public holidays. Birthday reminders arrive 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 wish list, or edit it together with family and friends: a wedding wishlist, a kids' gift list, a shared Christmas list.

Stop getting the same present twice:
Friends reserve items from your wishlist anonymously and see what is already taken. You keep the surprise.

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, a scavenger hunt that leads the person to what is waiting for them.


GIFT IDEAS FOR EVERY OCCASION

Birthday gift ideas for him and for her. Christmas gift ideas and Secret Santa picks for the office gift exchange. Gifts for men, gifts for women, kids gift ideas, presents for teens. Unique gifts for the person who has everything. Small presents when the budget is tight. Wedding and housewarming presents, anniversaries, graduations, new parents, Mother's Day and Father's Day.

Works the same whether you're buying for a partner, a parent, a coworker you barely know, or a friend you've known for twenty years. One gift finder and one gift tracker for everyone on your list.
