About Giftsnatch

We match gifts to who someone is, from a short list of unique gift makers we chose ourselves, so the care you already feel for them shows in what you give.

What Giftsnatch does

You tell us about the person in a few taps: who they are to you, roughly how old they are, what they're like and what you want to spend. We show you gifts matched to them, one at a time. Swipe right to keep a gift and left to pass, and each swipe changes what comes next.

Keep the ones you like, send your basket to friends so they can vote from the link, then buy from the seller. It's free, and you never need an account to find a gift. Sign in and we'll also remember the people you buy for and email you before their next date.

Why we built it

Most gift shops are arranged by category, which works once you already know what you want. A gift usually starts somewhere else, with a person. Research on gift-giving points the same way. Givers tend to judge a gift at the moment it's opened, while the people who receive gifts judge them by how much they use and value them afterwards (Galak, Givi and Williams, 2016).

So Giftsnatch starts from the person. We also describe every gift in the terms the recipient would care about: from the heart or practical, one of a kind or a bestseller, made for their interest or for anyone. You can lean your matches towards whichever of those suits them.

We set out the studies behind this, and where each one shows up in Giftsnatch, in the research behind Giftsnatch.

Who we work with

We choose every seller ourselves, and we only show a product once it has been through the checks on how we pick. Some sellers are small makers and some are names you'll know.

How we make money

Giftsnatch is free to use and we add nothing to the price. When you buy a gift we showed you, the seller may pay us a commission. It never changes the price you pay, which gifts you see or the order they come in.

No seller can pay to be shown or to rank higher. The gift of the day and our featured picks are our own choice and are never paid for.

Get in touch

Email info@giftsnatch.com with questions, a gift that looks wrong, or a maker you think we should know about. Anything about your data goes to privacy@giftsnatch.com, and our privacy policy sets out what we keep and why. On any gift page, "Found a problem?" sends a report straight to us.
