For iPhone

Wish it. Wrap it. Keep it a surprise.

GiftWhimsy is a private wish list for the people you actually shop for. Save what you love all year, share it with your circles, and let them quietly wrap gifts. You'll never know what's coming.

Requires iOS 27

How it works

Three taps from "ooh" to a gift they'll love.

Spot it

See something you'd love? Point your camera at it, paste a link from any store, pick a photo, or jot down an idea. It lands on your list with a real picture.

Wrap it

Browsing Mom's list? Tap Wrap it and the gift is yours to give. Everyone else in the circle sees it's handled, so nobody buys the same thing.

Keep it a surprise

Your own list never shows what's been wrapped. The surprise holds until the moment you hand the gift over.

The Surprise Shield

You'll never see what's been wrapped.

Not in the app, and not anywhere your iPhone shows your list. It isn't a setting you can flip by accident. It's how GiftWhimsy is built.

iPhone Duo

Open it up. Your list becomes a book.

On iPhone Duo, GiftWhimsy opens into two pages. The page you're on sits on the right, the one you came from stays on the left, and anything you can do open, you can do closed.

The list stays beside the wish

Open a wish and the list you came from stays on the left page. Tap another and the right page turns. Wrap it sits under your thumb, right where it is when your iPhone Duo is closed.

Unfold to unwrap

Your Secret Santa match arrives as a wrapped box. Open your iPhone Duo and the lid flies off. Only you see who's inside.

Fold to hide

Browsing Mom's list when Mom walks in? Close your iPhone Duo and the cover shows your own wishes. Open it again and you're right where you left off. It stays off until you turn it on in Settings.

Cover story

Spotting something with the camera? The cover faces whoever's across the counter, so it shows a cheerful decoy instead of what you're pointing at.

Made for giving together

Everything your people need to get it right.

Circles

Family, close friends, the office gift exchange. You choose which circles see each wish.

Chip in

Go in together on something bigger. Everyone sees who's in and how close you are. Pledges are promises; no money moves in the app.

Gift Genie

Stuck on what to get? Genie suggests ideas from their list and what they love, and it runs right on your iPhone.

Secret Santa

Draw names for your circle in a tap. You'll only ever see your own match.

The real thing

Every wish shows what it actually is: a sticker cut from your photo, the store's own picture, or a tidy icon for ideas.

Never miss the day

Birthdays and holidays live on each person, so you can see who's coming up and what's still unwrapped.

Private by design
