The AI Gift Finder & Wishlist App
Built to make gifting less of a chore — one swipe, one wishlist, one reminder at a time.
It's 11pm the night before your best friend's birthday. You've spent two hours across a dozen browser tabs, and you still have nothing. You panic-buy a gift card. Again.
Honestly, that's not a one-off. It's what gifting looks like for most people now. We've got endless options and somehow less idea of what actually works. So we end up duplicating presents nobody wanted, defaulting to a gift card that basically says "I gave up," and gifting quietly stops meaning much.
"Most gifting tools pick one of those problems and solve it halfway."
You scroll through a dozen apps and still nothing feels right for the person you're shopping for.
Nobody knows what anyone else already bought, so group gifts turn into a guessing game every time.
The classic "I didn't know what to get you" gift card — nice thought, but nobody remembers it.
Giftlo pulls the AI recommendations, the group coordination, and the actual browsing into one app, so you're not stitching together three different tools for one gift.
Swipe through picks that fit their taste, or just ask the AI. You land on something that matches the person, not the price tag.
Scan a friend's QR code to link up. You'll both see each other's wishlists, so nobody buys the same thing twice.
A reminder pops up before the birthday and takes you straight to their wishlist, so remembering and actually buying happen in one step.
It's basically Tinder for gifts — swipe right to save something, left to pass. Turns out a quick gut reaction beats an hour of overthinking it.
DiscoveryTell it who you're shopping for — personality, occasion, budget — and it comes back with real suggestions and buy links. It remembers what you told it last time, too.
AI-PoweredPaste a link from basically any store — Etsy, Amazon, some random indie brand's Shopify page — and it all lands in one wishlist. No more juggling five different sites.
OrganisationScan a friend's QR code and you're connected. Their wishlist updates show up on your end too, so you always know what's already been claimed.
SocialGiftlo keeps track of your friends' birthdays and reminds you early, with a link straight to their current wishlist. No more scrambling the night before.
AutomationThis is the actual app, not a mockup. Here's Giftlo doing what it was built for.
You mean well, but somehow it's always 11pm the night before and you still haven't bought anything.
Coordinating a group gift? See what everyone's already picked so you don't double up.
Tired of getting asked what you want? Put together a wishlist from any store and just send the link.
Forget a birthday again? Not with reminders that drop you straight into their wishlist.
Almost every decision here, from the swipe mechanic to the reveal, came out of actual research.

Before jumping into final visuals, I roughed out the core screens to nail down structure and flow, then used that to build toward the high-fidelity UI.
Tried to make sending a gift through an app feel closer to handing it over in person
The reveal moment is the part people actually remember afterward, not just another notification
A custom message or photo turns a gift into something with its own story
Makes the distance between sender and receiver feel a little smaller
I kept hearing testers talk about how the reveal made them feel, almost never about the features. That held up in every single test session.
Cutting even one step raised completion. I just don't notice friction the way a first-time user does.
The same gift feels different once there's a message attached to it. The story is part of the gift.
None of the small stuff seems like much alone — a spring on the swipe, a glow on tap — but it adds up.
