Question 1

How does Nifty Gifty App work?

Accepted Answer

Nifty Gifty App is an interactive shopping list for gift giving that keeps your recipients organised, tracks your purchases and manages your spend for any occasion. With flexible roles and smart organisation baked in, managing who's receiving, contributing, or claiming gifts has never been easier.

Question 2

Is there a limit to the number of occasions or gifts I can add to Nifty Gifty App?

Accepted Answer

There is no limit. Occasions, gifts, contacts are unlimited when you subscribe to Nifty Gifty App. Birthdays, anniversaries, baby showers, Christmas, group gifts - all in one place. See exactly how many days until each occasion, across all your gift lists at once.

Question 3

Do my friends, family and colleagues need to download Nifty Gifty App to claim a gift or contribute money to an occasion?

Accepted Answer

Friends, family and colleagues claim gifts or contribute to an occasion via a browser link to Nifty Gifty App that you share directly with them — no download or sign-up needed on their end.

Question 4

Does Nifty Gifty App manage payments, or the collection of money from Contributors for group gifts or fundraisers?

Accepted Answer

No. Unlike apps that process payments through their platform, Nifty Gifty App keeps it direct. There's a very easy option to add your bank details or PayPal link once, and the app automatically includes it in your group gift messages. Contributors pay you directly — person to person — with no fees, no intermediary, and no delay. You stay in control of your money from start to finish.

Question 5

What are the differences between Recipients, Claimants and Contributors?

Accepted Answer

Claimants are contacts you can share gift and wish lists with so they can claim gifts with a quick "I'll buy this one!" tap in Nifty Gifty App.  This makes your job as List Manager effortless, and prevents duplicate gifts.

Contributors are contacts you can invite to contribute money, a gift or both to a group gift, Wishing Well, or when fundraising for a special cause. Perfect for big celebrations like weddings, milestones, birthdays, end-of-season or end-of-term.

Recipients are the lucky individuals who will receive a perfectly curated set of gifts, or a meaningful contribution towards a special gift, a Wishing Well or an important cause.The one thing that claimants, contributors and recipients all have in common is they can be family, friends, colleagues, club or team members, work friends, school communities, charities - the list goes on.

Question 6

When would a person be both a recipient and a claimant, for one occasion?

Accepted Answer

A person can have both a recipient and a claimant role for one occasion in Nifty Gifty App. For example, when there are multiple recipients and one recipient might purchase a gift for another recipient.

Question 7

When would a person be both a recipient and a contributor, for one occasion?

Accepted Answer

A person can have both a recipient and a contributor role for one occasion in Nifty Gifty App. For example, when a recipient also wants to make contribution. Like an end of season group gift for a coaching team - where the head coach wants to contribute towards a gift for the team manager, and they are both recipients. Or the person receiving funds raised for a special cause may also wish to contribute on a personal level.

Question 8

Does Nifty Gifty App seamlessly sync changes I make in the app so I can avoid duplicates and mismatches?

Accepted Answer

When you update contact details anywhere in Nifty Gifty App, the changes instantly sync everywhere - no duplicates, no mismatches!

Question 9

How many recipients can I have on my occasion gift list?

Accepted Answer

You can have multiple recipients on your occasion's gift list in Nifty Gifty App.  As a general rule there is one recipient (e.g. a birthday) or two recipients (bride and groom at a wedding) but there is no limit. You can have as many recipients as you like - perfect for Secret Santa!

Question 10

How many claimants can I have on my occasion gift list?

Accepted Answer

You can have one or multiple claimants on your occasion's gift list - as many as you want in Nifty Gifty App. There is no limit. You might decide to purchase most gifts on your list and have just one or a few family members as claimants. Or you might purchase one gift on your list and invite multiple family, friends or work colleagues as claimants for the rest of the gift list, for that occasion.

Question 11

Are there any other costs or in app purchases?

Accepted Answer

Nifty Gifty App is just $7.99 per year. This give you complete access to full functionality. There are no other costs or in app purchases. If you organise 25 occasions per year that works out to be about $0.32 per occasion. Less than a birthday card. Those occasions add up - large or small - when you consider all the birthdays, anniversaries, end of season gifts, weddings, Christmas etc that happen in a year.

Question 12

Do I need to re-create annual occasions or are they archived for future use?

Accepted Answer

Nifty Gifty App occasions automatically archive the day after their date, keeping your upcoming list clean. Easily unarchive or reactivate with a new date anytime - your gifts and recipients stay intact, ready to edit or use again whenever you are!

Question 13

Do I need to assign claimants to one occasion at a time?

Accepted Answer

In Nifty Gifty App you can assign the same claimants to multiple occasions and recipients to save time.

Question 14

Why can't I switch between Contributor and Claimant roles?

Accepted Answer

You can edit a Contact's role for each occasion in Nifty Gifty App. The only thing you can't do is switch between Contributor and Claimant roles because Contributors can only be added to Group Gifts, while Claimants can only be added to occasions that are not group gifts and have a gift or wish list instead. The solution? Please create a new occasion - you can save, archive or delete the original.

Question 15

Can I add myself as a Claimant or Contributor to  an occasion?

Accepted Answer

In Nifty Gifty App you can add yourself to any occasion as a claimant or contributor, the same way you add anyone else. Simply tap the Invite Quick Action button within that occasion's view.You don't have to add yourself as a claimant to purchase gifts. Instead just toggle the gift status from 'To buy' to 'Purchased' and you will automatically be assigned as purchaser of that gift.

Question 16

Do I have to assign myself the role of claimant or contributor to buy a gift or make a contribution to an occasion?

Accepted Answer

In Nifty Gifty App you can add yourself to any occasion as a claimant or contributor, the same way you add anyone else. Simply tap the Invite Quick Action button within that occasion's view. You don't have to add yourself as a claimant to purchase gifts. Instead just toggle the gift status from 'To buy' to 'Purchased' and you will automatically be assigned as purchaser of that gift. For group gifts, a fundraiser or Wishing Well you will need to add yourself as a contributor to make a contribution to an occasion. Your name will automatically appear in the dropdown list of options when adding a new contributor to an occasion.
