Get Early AccessYou know the feeling. A birthday is next week and you are staring at a blank search bar hoping inspiration strikes. Your partner says "I don't need anything" but definitely expects something thoughtful. Your in-laws already have everything. Finding the right gift should not require this much stress.
It generates personalized gift ideas based on the [OCCASION], what the recipient's [INTERESTS] are, and your [BUDGET]. You describe the recipient's personality, age, and relationship. The AI suggests gifts across categories like experiences, physical items, subscriptions, and handmade options, with an explanation of why each would land well for this specific person.
The best part is the specificity. Instead of "get them a book," it explains what kind of book and why it fits their personality. Instead of "experience gift," it suggests specific experiences matched to their interests and your budget.

If you are planning a party around the gift-giving occasion, check the Party Planning Guide. Open it in the Dock Editor to save your gift ideas and build a year-round gift list.
Copy this template into ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, or the Dock Editor to get started.
Select their [RELATIONSHIP], [AGE], and [PERSONALITY] type. Then write their specific [INTERESTS] in detail. 'Loves hiking, reads sci-fi, recently started baking' gives much better results than 'outdoorsy.'
Pick the [OCCASION] and [BUDGET] range honestly. A $25 gift that is perfect beats a $100 gift that misses. Add things they [ALREADY_HAVE] or their [WISHLIST] items so the AI avoids duplicates and builds on what they have mentioned wanting.
The AI generates ideas across experiences, physical items, subscriptions, and handmade options. Don't just grab the first suggestion. Scan all categories because the best gift might be in a category you would not have considered.
Birthday is in two days and you have nothing. The prompt generates ideas quickly across all [BUDGET] ranges, including digital gifts and experiences you can book immediately without waiting for shipping.
Select 'hard to shop for' under [PERSONALITY] and list whatever you do know about their [INTERESTS]. The AI works with limited information and suggests gifts in unexpected categories the person might not buy for themselves.
Set [RELATIONSHIP] to 'coworker' or 'boss' and the suggestions stay professionally appropriate. The AI avoids overly personal gifts and focuses on items that show thoughtfulness without crossing workplace boundaries.
When you cannot hand someone a gift in person, shipping logistics and timing matter. Set [OCCASION] to the specific date and mention the distance. The AI prioritizes gifts that ship well, arrive on time, and feel personal despite the miles between you.
