Stylish, observant, lightly funny. 8–12 concrete options with why, where, delivery notes, and card text.

TODO: Replace #payment with your Stripe Payment Link ($15 Gift Shortlist beta).

How it works

1. File a brief

Relationship, age range, occasion, deadline, budget, interests, dislikes, past gifts, desired feeling.

2. We research

Ideas are checked for existence, budget fit, and a plausible path to arrive by your date.

3. You receive a shortlist

8–12 options—including one Safe, one Interesting, one Memorable—with card text drafts.

Safe Accurate, low-risk, still personal.
Interesting Sideways attention—not reckless.
Memorable The “oh—you get me” moment.

FAQ

Will items still be in stock when I buy?

We verify at writing time. Stock and shipping change—always confirm before purchase. We’ll note tight deadlines honestly.

Do you use affiliate links?

Sometimes. When we do, we disclose it. We won’t keep a product that fails your brief just for commission.

Is this AI?

Brainstorming/drafting may be AI-assisted. A human reviews every shortlist for fit, tone, and logistics.

What if my deadline is impossible?

We’ll say so and offer digital, local pickup, experience, or “promise card + delayed object” options.

Refunds?

Full refund before you submit a complete brief (within 7 days of purchase). See Refund Policy for after-delivery fixes.
