A gift planning site with intention
by•
Hi all, I'm Candy. I'm a mother of five. But three of my children are grown, and that makes Christmas gift buying more complicated. So, I made a platform where each person in the family gets their own profile and fills it with stuff about them.
What they're currently obsessing over, favorite artists, brands, stores, colors, upcoming goals for next year, and a list for gift ideas. It really paints a picture of who they are right now.
Think of it like Myspace but private only to your family or group.
Makes gift buying more much intentional about things that really matter to them and you can get them gifts they actually will use and love.
Imagine that! :)

Welcome Candy! I build in a neighbouring space, personalised songs as gifts, so two things from my side. Timing: for the big gift holidays like Christmas, my app reminds people two weeks and three days ahead and never on the day, because on the day a gift is already late; personal dates get three days ahead and the day itself. For physical gifts that ship, I would push the first nudge even earlier. And privacy: once one person stores details about another, like names and dates of family members, the privacy policy and the app store data forms have to say so, because those people never signed up. Profiles filled in by each person themselves are a nicer answer to that than most gift tools have.
