Year-round gifting
A potluck for presents.
Everyone chips in. Plan the group gift, the name draw, the packing list, the move-in, the costume, and the registry. Then pass one link. This is a planning table, not a store.
The year, already set
Birthdays do not wait for December. Neither does the rest of the calendar.

Six tools, one table
Group gift pool
Set a place for someone. The group adds an Amazon shortlist, votes, and pledges. The recipient can add a wishlist of their own.
Birthdays all year, plus farewells, retirements, and teacher gifts.
Gift exchange
Draw names for Secret Santa, White Elephant, Galentine's, Mother's Day, Father's Day, or an office swap. Each person gets a link that shows only their match.
Valentine's, spring parent days, and the holiday draw.
Packing list
Pick a destination, a trip length, and the activities you will actually do. Check items off and open gear searches as you pack.
Summer trips, winter breaks, and the weekend you keep meaning to leave for.
Moving into
Checklists for a first apartment, a dorm, a new baby, and a new pet, with a progress bar and links for the things you buy.
Back-to-school, move-in weekend, and the week a baby or a pet comes home.
Costume and party planner
Group and couple costume ideas for Halloween, theme parties, and bachelorettes. Every piece has an Amazon search.
Halloween, theme parties, and the weekend someone gets married.
Lightweight registry
A baby shower or housewarming list. Guests claim items on the shared link. Nothing is purchased through this site.
Showers and housewarmings, whenever they land on the calendar.
