About GiftNavGiftNav believes gift shopping should start with the person, not a store or a bestseller list. This is the philosophy behind how we're built -- for the actual mechanics, see How GiftNav Works.
There are more things to buy than ever before. That hasn’t made finding the right gift easier.
Gift search usually starts in the wrong place: a giant marketplace, a generic list of ‘50 Gifts for Dad,’ or a frantic search through dozens of browser tabs. GiftNav starts somewhere else: with the person you’re shopping for.
GiftNav starts by getting to know the person you’re shopping for, then curates ideas around them instead of a generic bestseller list. The mechanics of how that profile actually comes together live on our How GiftNav Works page -- this page is about why we built it that way.
To make thoughtful gift discovery easier, more personal, and more enjoyable — without locking shoppers into a particular store.
GiftNav is designed to help you decide what to buy. When you find it, you choose where to purchase it.
We are not trying to create the world's longest list of products. We want a broad, useful catalogue from which we can find the right few.
Recommendations can consider popularity, uniqueness, reviews, price, recipient fit, occasion, interests, life stage, and feedback while shopping. When we recommend something, the goal is not merely to explain what it is, but why it might fit.
Some links on GiftNav may be affiliate links. GiftNav may receive compensation if you make a qualifying purchase after following one of those links. Affiliate relationships do not determine whether a product can appear in our catalogue or whether it is a good fit for a recipient.
