We don't recommend until we understand.
Most gift finders ask five questions and spit out Amazon links. Giftspan builds a real profile first—then recommends gifts, experiences, and gestures that actually fit.

"It recommended a 3D printer for printing custom minifigure-scale bricks—connecting my son's love of LEGO with his stop-motion hobby. I never would have made that connection."
You know them. You just don't know what to get them.
You know your father-in-law is "into history." But unless you're also into history, you won't know which books are groundbreaking, which podcasts are actually good, or that there's a small press doing beautiful reprints of Byzantine primary sources.
Great gift ideas come from shared passions. When you and the recipient both love the same thing, the perfect gift is obvious. When you don't share their interests, you're guessing.
That's the gap we close.
How Giftspan thinks
Real recommendations that connect interests in unexpected ways
LEGO + Stop-Motion
LEGO-obsessed kid who makes stop-motion videos
Elegoo Neptune 3D Printer
$199A 3D printer for creating custom minifigure-scale bricks, props, and accessories for his stop-motion scenes.
Why it works
Connects his two passions in a way no gift guide would suggest. He can print custom lightsabers, terrain pieces, and props that don't exist in official LEGO sets.
Knitting + Friendship
Crafty wife who misses her college roommate
Yarn Subscription + Trip Fund
$45/mo + contributionA premium hand-dyed yarn subscription paired with a dedicated savings fund for visiting her best friend.
Why it works
She mentioned knitting helps her relax, but she's been sad about not seeing her old roommate. This addresses both the hobby AND the emotional need.
Writing + Networking
Aspiring writer sister working on her first novel
Writers Guild Membership + Conference
$275Annual membership to a writers' organization plus registration for a regional writing conference.
Why it works
She's talented but isolated. A journal would collect dust, but professional community could change her trajectory. Not a journal with 'WRITE' on the cover.
Gardening + Photography
Mother-in-law with a beautiful garden
Macro Lens for Smartphone
$35A clip-on macro lens that lets her capture the intricate details of her flowers and share them with family.
Why it works
She's proud of her garden but frustrated her phone can't capture the details she sees. This bridges her love of plants with sharing moments.
Cooking + Travel
Boss who loves authentic cuisine
Regional Cooking Class Experience
$150A hands-on cooking class focused on a cuisine from a region he's visited or dreams of visiting.
Why it works
He talks about food from his travels constantly. This lets him recreate those memories at home, not just eat them.
