About gift.directory

gift.directory helps people find a good gift fast, and give it together. Every page shows real products that are in stock right now at well-known retailers, with live prices. An AI asks a few quick questions between the products and moves the best matches to the front, with a short reason for each.

Why we built it

Thanking someone usually ends with an hour of scrolling and a round of payment requests. We wanted a place that knows who you're shopping for, shows real products from the first second, and lets a group chip in without one person fronting the money.

How it works

Real products only. Products, prices and links come from Channel3's catalog of retailers. The AI can only choose from what the catalog returns, so it never makes up a product or a price.

Group gifts. Anyone can start a group gift on a product and share one link. Each person pays their share with PayPal, straight to the organizer's PayPal account. gift.directory never holds the money.

Niche stores. Anyone can launch a gift store for their people, such as nurses, golfers or a law firm, at yourname.gift.directory. The AI drafts the store and the owner edits it; stores run on a PayPal subscription.

Who runs it

gift.directory is operated by Banksy AI LLC and was founded by Derek Soltis, a New York attorney. The first store, Lawyer Gifts, came out of years of watching clients and colleagues try to say thank you.

How we make money

Store owners pay a monthly subscription. When you buy through a retailer link, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. Gift-guide pages may show an advertisement at the bottom of the page.
