Common questions
Read all the FAQs- What is Bow & Tick?Bow & Tick is an Australian-owned gift planner made for everyone you buy for, wherever you are. You keep a list of people, note what they love and need, save gift ideas against them, get email reminders for what is still to buy, and you and your collaborators can mark gifts as bought. Everything stays in one place, so nothing gets given twice and nothing gets forgotten, and lists can be kept in AUD, USD, GBP, EUR, NZD or CAD.
- How do I share a gift list with my partner or grandparents?Open the Lists page, find the list and tap Share, then add their email address. The Lists page always shows who each list is shared with, so you can see at a glance whether it is private to you. Anyone you add gets the same people, gifts and bought markers with their own free account, and only the owner can add or remove people.
- How much does Bow & Tick cost?Bow & Tick is free to use. It is a new app so we have made it completely free especially whilst we trial the Idea Generator. Some shop links are affiliate links, so if you buy through one the shop may pay us a small commission at no extra cost to you.
