About Presently
Why Presently exists
Presently is an independent gift-recommendation service. It keeps what you know about the people you buy for, such as what they have asked for, what they own and what they like, and uses it to prepare a list of gifts before each of their occasions.
Why we built it
Most gift guides are written for a type of person. They cannot know what your sister already owns or what your dad has said he does not want, so a lot of well-meant gifts miss.
Presently begins with the person. It looks at what they have asked for, then at their tastes and the notes you have written about them, and then searches its catalog and partner stores for gifts that match. Each time you add a note or react to a match, the next list takes it into account.
How we run it
How we make money
Presently is free to use. When you click a recommendation and buy something, we may earn a small affiliate commission from the retailer, including through the Amazon Associates program, at no extra cost to you. As an Amazon Associate, Presently earns from qualifying purchases.
That commission is how we keep the product free, and it never decides what you see. Recommendations are ranked on fit, not on what pays us the most. You can read the full affiliate disclosure any time.
Who's behind Presently
Presently was built by Mike Mobbsand is run as an independent project. Because it is small, decisions about it can put accurate matches and people's privacy ahead of growth.
For questions or feedback, email hello@presently.cc, which comes straight to us. There is more on our contact page.
