About Gift Genius.
Gift Genius is a gift planning app for people who buy presents for a lot of other people. Instead of a notes app, a group chat and three browser tabs of half-finished shopping, everything lives in one place: who each person is, what they love, what you have already bought and what is still to buy. Lists carry a budget and an optional deadline, so a promise to "sort Christmas this year" turns into a running total you can actually see.
It is made for the person in the family who keeps the mental list. Parents buying for children and their friends' birthdays, grown-ups juggling a partner, siblings, in-laws and a Secret Santa, and anyone who has ever found a perfect gift in July and forgotten it by December. It works year round: Christmas, birthdays, weddings, new babies and the colleague whose name you only half know.
Gift Genius is built by a small independent team, not a retailer. The suggestions come from an AI model that is given the details you save and your budget, and every idea links out to a shop so you can buy wherever you like. The app is funded by affiliate links and a paid spending tracker add-on, never by selling your lists or the people in them.
A list per person
Everyone you buy for gets their own page: their age, what they love, sizes to avoid and the gifts you've already planned.
Ideas that fit
Ask for gift ideas and get specific, buyable suggestions picked for their age, tastes and your budget, in your currency.
Shared without the chaos
Share a list with a partner or a sibling and you can both see who has already been bought for.
Questions before you start?
The FAQ covers pricing, privacy and how the idea generator works, and you can always message us.
How Gift Genius earns money
Some of the links we show to shops are affiliate links. If you buy through one, the shop may pay us a small commission. The price you pay is exactly the same either way.
Not every search earns us anything: only some shops and some searches are part of an affiliate program, so a lot of the time we earn nothing at all. The commission is one small way to help cover the cost of running the app.
Ideas are never chosen or ranked by what pays us. We suggest what suits the person you are buying for, then link to the shop so you can check the price yourself.
Prices and availability come from the shops and can change. Always check the final price on the shop's own page before you buy.
