Hintbook — Every hint, every occasion

How it works

A gift list that's always current.

Registries are for one big day. Hintbook is for every day after: birthdays, holidays, anniversaries and every dinner party in between.

Drop your hints

Paste a link from any store or add things manually. Your sizes, favorite shops, likes and hard passes all live in one place.

Add your people

Follow friends and family. Get a heads-up before their birthday with picks pulled from their own list.

Claim it quietly

Mark a gift as yours so nobody doubles up. They never see what's been claimed, so the surprise stays a surprise.

Everything else

Thoughtful, without the guesswork.

The Vibe Quiz

For friends who want to go off-list. Share your style, your favorite stores and whether you'd rather get things or experiences.

Hint Radar

Pick a person and a budget. Get three ideas from their list, their vibe and what you've overheard.

Price drops

Get a quiet nudge when something on a friend's list goes on sale. Only you see it.

Partner mode

Your person gets reminders a month out, your anniversary on the calendar, and every hint up front.

Gift history

Remember what you gave and what you got, so you never repeat a gift.

Kids & pets

Keep lists for the little ones and the four-legged ones, with sizes that remind you when they're out of date.

Events

Secret Santa, sorted. White Elephant, too.

Create the event, invite your group and draw names in one tap. Everyone gets a link to their person's list.

Questions

Good to know

When does Hintbook launch?

We're opening early access to small friend groups first. Join the waitlist and you'll be among the first invited.

Is it free?

Yes. Making lists, following friends and running Secret Santa will always be free.

Can my friends see what I've claimed?

Other friends can see an item is taken so nobody doubles up. The person whose list it is never sees what's been claimed or by whom.

Which stores does it work with?

Any store with a link, plus anything without one: local shops, experiences, homemade favorites.
