What is a gift preference questionnaire?

It's a short survey that captures the details a gift-giver actually needs — sizes, favorite colors, hobbies, go-to stores, what you'd love, and what to avoid. Fill it out, generate a clean summary, and share it with your Secret Santa, partner, or family so they can shop with confidence.

Is this questionnaire free? Do I need an account?

Yes, it's completely free with no signup, no ads, and no limits. Everything runs in your browser — nothing is saved to a server unless you choose to create a free GiftList account at the end.

How do I share my answers with my gift-giver?

When you tap Generate my profile, the tool builds a tidy summary card. Use the Copy button to copy it to your clipboard, then paste it into a text, email, or group chat. Empty questions are simply left out, so you only share what you filled in.

Is this good for Secret Santa or a gift exchange?

Absolutely. A gift preference questionnaire takes the guesswork out of Secret Santa, White Elephant, and family exchanges. For a group, create a free GiftList gift exchange instead — everyone gets a sharable wish list and your Santa can shop the exact items you want.
