For families

Using Presently for a whole family

If you buy gifts for a lot of people across the year, Presently keeps each person's dates, notes and budget in one place. Here is how that works in a few common situations.

Parents

Keeping up as a child's tastes change

Children's interests change quickly, so last year's notes can be out of date. Update a child's notes whenever something changes, and the next list Presently prepares takes the change into account.

Example: you note that your daughter has moved on from dinosaurs to sea creatures, and her next birthday list follows the note.

Partners

Finding out what your partner would like

You can invite your partner to join Presently and answer the quizzes about their own tastes. Presently uses their answers, and anything they add to their list of things they like, when it prepares gifts for them.

Example: your partner says they do not want anything this year, but their quiz answers lean toward being cozy at home, so the list includes a throw blanket.

Relatives you see less often

Buying for relatives you see a few times a year

It is harder to buy for people you see a few times a year. When you learn something about them, add it to their notes, and Presently uses it for every occasion after that.

Example: your father-in-law mentions at dinner that he has started baking bread. You add it to his notes, and his Father's Day list includes baking equipment.

If you handle the family's gifts

Keeping track of many people and dates

If you buy for birthdays, teachers, colleagues and the holidays, your dashboard shows who has an occasion coming up, and each person has their own list and budget.

Start with one person you buy for

You can start with one person and add others whenever you like. Presently is free to use.
