Common questions
Is The Thoughtful Gift Planner free?

Where is my gift list saved?
Only in this browser on this device. Nothing you enter is sent to us. If you clear your browser data or use a different device, your list will not be there.
How are the gift ideas chosen?
Each idea in our library is labeled with who it is for, what they enjoy, what is going on in their life, and about what it costs. The planner compares your answers to those labels and shows the closest matches first. Each card tells you why it was chosen.
How do the shop buttons work?
Each button opens Amazon search results for that gift idea, so you can choose the exact item you like. As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases. Costs shown here are estimates, and prices on Amazon will vary.
Can children and teens use it?
Yes. Choose who is giving the gifts at the start. Children and teens see ideas to make by hand and small gifts to buy, and handmade ideas come with a button to shop for the supplies.
