Questions and answers

It starts from a profile of the person: interests, age, what they already have, the occasion and the budget. A neural network comes up with specific gifts, the app checks that they exist and finds them in stores in your city. You get ten ideas, each with a reason why it fits this particular person and a link to buy.

One search is ten ideas for one person and one occasion. You start with three: one right away and two for the first simple steps in the app — that's 30 ideas. When the balance runs out, one more free search arrives every month, and inviting friends adds extra ones.

A chatbot gives a generic list with nowhere to buy it. GIFTbase keeps a profile of the person, checks that every idea is a real product, finds it in stores with a price and a link, and remembers the date next year. The wishlist and the calendar live in the same app.

The search looks for stores in the recipient's country and city, with budgets in dollars, euros or rubles. Outside Russia you get local and global stores; if there are few suitable stores nearby, ideas come with delivery.

The profile is everything you know about the person: interests, taste, what they already have, what they mentioned in passing. The more it holds, the closer the ideas land. One profile works for every occasion of the year: birthday, Christmas, anniversary.

Swipe left — next idea. Refine the profile: add interests, mark what they already have, change the budget or the type of gift (a thing, an experience, something handmade). With the subscription, a recipient questionnaire asks the questions for you and picks more precisely.

No. GIFTbase is a recommendation service: we find the idea and give you a link to the store or marketplace, where you order as usual. For some links we receive an affiliate commission from the store; your price doesn't change.

Yes. Copy a link to any product from any store and paste it into the list — the app fetches the image and the title. Nothing to retype.

With one link: send it in a messenger or post it anywhere. Friends don't need to sign up to view the list and reserve a gift.

A friend taps “reserve” on the gift they're going to give. Others see that item is taken and don't duplicate it. The list owner sees neither what is reserved nor who did it — the surprise stays.

A list kept by several people: a family for Christmas, friends for a wedding. All members add and edit items, and guests reserve as usual.

No. Creating wishlists, sharing by link, co-editing and reservations are free forever, with or without a subscription.

The demo shows how friends will see your list — you can try reserving. Themed wishlists (“what October wants for its birthday”) are examples and ideas for what to put on your own list.

Birthdays, anniversaries, professional and public holidays of your country, plus any dates of your own. All in one list with a countdown.

In advance — so there is time to choose and buy a gift. The lead time is adjustable.

Yes. A home-screen widget shows the nearest dates and the people they belong to.

A way to hand over the gift as an adventure. In the “Apartment Detective” scenario the app builds a chain of riddle notes for real hiding spots in your home — they lead the person to the gift. The notes are written around the recipient's name and interests. Personal scenarios are part of the subscription.

The site has ready printable kits and clue libraries: download, print, place. They are the same for everyone, but free and with no sign-up. In the app the scenario is written for a specific person and their home.

The printable scripts cover ages 4–12 by age group, and the detective kit “The Case of the Missing Gift” is for 6–10. Hunts for grown-ups (for a husband or boyfriend) are a separate page.

Yes. The calendar with reminders, wishlists, shared lists, reservations and the “Gift of the week” are free forever. Gift search: three searches to start and one more free search every month.

Ten searches every month (unused ones don't expire), personal gift-giving scenarios, a recipient questionnaire for more precise ideas, two more “Gifts of the week” and priority processing. The calendar and wishlists stay free either way.

Yes, extra searches are bought one at a time as needed.
