Gift Planner is an AI-powered gifting platform that helps people find thoughtful gift ideas with less guesswork.

Free users can try the core experience, while paid plans unlock planner tools, reminders, more retailer options, and expanded gifting workflows.
I’ve been building Gift Planner: an AI-powered gift recommendation + planning tool that helps people find thoughtful gifts fast, without turning the experience into a marketplace.
The core idea is simple:
Gift Planner suggests the concept
Google Images helps you visualize it
Retailer links help you shop for it
What I shipped in the MVP: thoughtfulgivingplanner.ca
A guided “create a recipient profile” flow (interests, traits, budget, occasion)
AI-generated recommendation batches (9 ideas: Safe / Thoughtful / Unexpected + alternates)
Saved people + upcoming occasions (callendar + planner + reminders)
Credits + Stripe billing (trial, monthly/yearly, top-ups)
A public-facing API-first architecture so the web app (and future mobile app) consume the same endpoints
