How Gift.me Works
Build a wishlist from any store, share one link, and receive real gifts from friends, without ever revealing your home address.
Step 1: Claim Your Free @Handle
Sign up and choose a unique @handle, for example, gift.me/@yourname. Your @handle is your public gifting identity. Anyone who has your link can browse your wishlist and send you a gift. You never need to share your address, your phone number, or any personal information to receive gifts. Your @handle is all they need.
Step 2: Build Your Wishlist From Any Store
Add items from Amazon, Etsy, Target, Nike, or any online retailer by pasting a product URL into your Gift.me wishlist. The item's image, name, and price populate automatically. You can add as many items as you want from as many stores as you want, there is no single-store restriction. Your wishlist becomes a single, curated collection from anywhere on the internet.
Step 3: Share One Link
Your gift.me/@handle URL works everywhere. Put it in your Instagram bio, post it to Discord, text it to friends, or include it in an email. One link is all anyone needs to see your wishlist and send you something from it. No apps to install, no accounts required for senders.
Step 4: Receive Gifts Privately
When someone purchases an item from your wishlist, Gift.me routes the order through our private delivery system. The gift ships directly to your door, but your home address is never revealed to the sender. The sender sees only a "delivered" confirmation. You see the gift arrive. No address exchange required at any point.
How It Works for Gift Senders
If you want to send someone a gift on Gift.me, the process is just as simple. Find their @handle link, they might have it in their Instagram bio, on Discord, or shared directly with you. Open the link to browse their wishlist. Choose something you want to send, complete the payment through Gift.me's secure checkout, and you are done. The recipient receives a notification that a gift is on its way. You can choose to reveal your identity immediately or remain anonymous until the gift arrives. You never need to ask for their home address.
