How it works

Simple for parents.
Magical for grads.

Set it up in 10 minutes before graduation season. Guests do the rest — for free.

01
Parent sets up
Create your grad's page with their wishlist and college details. Takes 10 minutes, one-time payment of $14 or $24.
02
QR on the invite
Print or share the unique QR code on your graduation party invitations. Guests scan it from their phones — no app download ever.
03
Guests claim a month
Each guest picks one month and browses the wishlist for ideas — coffee, snacks, dorm supplies. Completely free for guests, always.
04
12 months of surprises
Your grad gets a thoughtful package every month. Auto thank-you cards go back to every sender — no nagging your kid to write them.
Auto thank-you cards

The thank-you
writes itself

When a package arrives, we automatically send a warm, personalized thank-you to the sender — complete with a photo from your grad on the Plus plan.

Auto-triggered after 7 days — zero action needed from your grad
Optional photo from your grad included (Plus plan)
Reminders sent to guests who haven't shipped yet
Year-end recap sent to your grad every May (Plus)
