About Bow & Tick.

Bow & Tick is an Australian gift list app for keeping track of Christmas and every other gift-giving moment in the year. You add the people you buy for — by relationship, with an age range for children, cousins, friends and colleagues — then let the idea generator suggest presents using the three things that person loves. Lists can be shared with family so nobody doubles up on the same gift, and every present can be ticked off as bought, with the price and the shop noted, against a budget you can see yourself spending.

It is built for anyone who carries the mental load of gift shopping: parents coordinating a big family Christmas, partners splitting a list between them, siblings working out who is buying for which niece, and anyone who cannot quite remember whether they already bought their dad a present. It works just as well for birthdays, weddings, baby showers and Secret Santa as it does for December, and it runs free in any browser on a phone, tablet or computer — no app store needed.

Bow & Tick is built and run by a small, independent Australian team. Every list, gift idea and reminder is designed and maintained by that same team, and feedback from the people using it decides what gets built next. If something is missing, or an idea falls flat, there is a real inbox behind the contact page and someone reads every message that arrives.

Core message: share the mental load and keep track of your budget.
