FAQ

Questions people actually ask.

The plain version

These are the answers we’d give over coffee, written down so you don’t have to ask. If you have a question that isn’t here, the privacy and terms pages cover the formal stuff, and the homepage shows how the circle actually works in practice.

The basics

A private gift circle is a small, invite-only group inside PresentSphere where everyone has a profile, a wishlist, and (optionally) hints about what they’d enjoy. Wishlists, birthdays, sizes, and reservations stay between the people in the circle. There is no public profile, no follower count, and no ads.

Coordinating without spoiling

Buyers can quietly reserve a wishlist item so other buyers know it’s already covered. Reservations are visible to other buyers in the circle but never to the person being shopped for. Surprise mode, on by default, also hides any sign of coordination (reservations, buyer activity, count of helpers) from the recipient’s own view.

More on how the circle works

Still curious? It takes about two minutes to start a circle and see what stays private and what doesn’t.
