Create your account

  1. Download Sipriz from the App Store or Google Play, then open the app.
  2. Choose how to sign in: email address, phone number (you'll get a code by text message), Apple, Google or Facebook.
  3. Enter your first name and choose your @username: it's how your people find you.
  4. Add a profile picture if you like: My space, then Edit.

💡 Your @username is 3 to 20 characters long: letters without accents, numbers, periods or underscores.

Create a gift list

  1. Open the Lists tab and tap “New list”.
  2. Give it a name: Christmas, my 30th, baby registry, housewarming…
  3. Choose a wrapping color and an icon, then a date if it's for an event.
  4. Choose the circles that will see the list: Family, Friends, Work, Partner or your own circles.

💡 Adding a date to your list means your people get a reminder a week before, then the day before.

Add a wish

  1. Tap the “+” button in the middle of the bottom bar.
  2. Paste the product link: Sipriz fills in the name, price and photo for you.
  3. Or, on a shop's website, tap “Share” then “Sipriz”: the form opens with the link already filled in.
  4. Choose how much you want it (Dream gift, I need it, I'd like it, Small idea) and add a note if needed, like the size or color.

💡 Some shops block automatic reading: in that case, Sipriz suggests a name taken from the link, and you add the photo and price yourself.

Add your people and sort them into circles

  1. Open “Find my people” from the Feed or My space.
  2. Type a person's exact @username, search your contacts, or share your invite link.
  3. The person accepts your request: you're now connected.
  4. Sort them into one or more circles. As long as someone isn't in any circle, they can't see any of your lists.

💡 Sorting is private: your people don't know which circle you've put them in.

Reserve and give a gift

  1. Open one of your people's lists and choose a gift.
  2. Tap “I'll give it”: the gift is reserved, and the person only sees “Someone's giving it”.
  3. Buy the gift wherever you like. Sipriz doesn't sell anything and takes no commission on your purchases.
  4. After giving it, tap “I gave this gift”: the person finds it in their Received tab, with your name, and can thank you.

💡 Changed your mind? Tap “I'm no longer giving it” as long as the gift hasn't been given.

Keep the full surprise

  1. Open your list, then tap the pencil to edit it.
  2. Turn on “Full surprise”: you'll no longer see which gifts are reserved at all.
  3. If you buy an item from your list yourself, open it and tap “I bought it myself”: your people are notified to avoid a duplicate.

Give a gift together

  1. On a gift that's still free, tap “Give it together”. You become the organizer.
  2. In the group gift, enter your share and add your payment link (PayPal, Venmo, Revolut…).
  3. Your people tap “Chip in” and enter their share: the bar fills up, and you're notified each time someone chips in.
  4. Once the gift has been given, tap “I gave this gift”: the person sees the names of all the contributors, and their thank-you reaches each of you.

💡 No money goes through Sipriz: everyone pays the organizer back directly.

Organize a Secret Santa

  1. In My space, tap “Secret Santa”, then “Organize a Secret Santa”.
  2. Enter a name, a date and a budget, then pick at least two of your people.
  3. If needed, name two people who shouldn't draw each other, a couple for example.
  4. Each participant adds their wishes to the exchange. When everyone is ready, start the draw: everyone finds out who they're giving to.

💡 The draw happens on our servers: nobody, not even the organizer, can find out who drew whom.

Receive and say thanks

  1. When one of your people marks a gift as given to you, it shows up in the Received tab.
  2. Confirm you received it and send your thanks, with a short message if you like.
  3. Post a Moment to share the unboxing in a photo or video: it stays visible to your people for 7 days.

Notifications, account and privacy

  1. My space, then Notifications: choose what reaches your phone (your people, gifts, reminders, Secret Santa…).
  2. My space, then My account: change your email address or password.
  3. My space, then My account, then “Delete my account”: all your data is erased.

Frequently asked questions

General

What is Sipriz?

Sipriz is a free gift list app for iOS and Android. You create your wishlist, share your list with your people, and each of them secretly reserves the gift they'll give you. It's also a little social network for wishlists, just between your people: a feed with their new wishes, reminders before every birthday, and Moments to say thanks with a photo or video.

Is Sipriz free?

Yes. Sipriz is free, with no subscription and no in-app purchases. Every feature is included: lists, secret reservations, Secret Santa, group gifts.

What does “Sipriz” mean?

“Sipriz” means “surprise” in Creole. That's the whole spirit of the app: giving the gift that truly delights, while keeping the surprise.

Which phones does Sipriz work on?

Sipriz works on iOS and Android. The app is available in 9 languages: French, English, Spanish, German, Portuguese, Italian, Dutch, Japanese and Korean.

Lists and wishes

How do I create a gift list?

In the Lists tab, tap “New list”. Give it a name (Christmas, my 30th, baby registry…), choose a wrapping color, an icon and, if you like, a date. Then choose the circles of people who will be able to see it.

How do I add a gift to my list?

Tap the “+” button, then paste the product link: Sipriz fills in the name, price and photo for you. You can also tap “Share” on a shop's website, then “Sipriz”. Or add an idea by hand, with a photo taken on your phone.

What are the wish levels for?

Each gift has a level: “Dream gift”, “I need it”, “I'd like it” or “Small idea”. That way your people know what would make you happiest.

Can I use Sipriz for a baby registry or a wedding registry?

Yes. A Sipriz list works for every occasion: baby registry, wedding registry, housewarming, birthday, Christmas, Mother's Day or a simple wishlist. Sipriz doesn't handle money: each person buys the gift themselves, or chips in with others using group gifts.

Reservations and surprise

How do I keep the surprise on my wishlist?

When one of your people taps “I'll give it”, you only see that someone is giving you this gift: no duplicates possible on your list. You never know who it is until the day that person marks it as given, in the Received tab.

What is full surprise mode?

If you'd rather know nothing at all, turn on full surprise in your list settings: you won't even see which gifts are reserved. If you buy an item from your list yourself, mark it so your people know.

How do I say thanks for a gift?

When someone has given you a gift, it shows up in Received. Confirm it and send your thanks in one tap. You can also post a Moment: a photo or video of the unboxing, visible to your people for 7 days.

Your people and circles

Who can see my wishlist?

Only the people you've accepted, and only the lists shared with their circle. There's no public profile: nobody else sees your wishlist.

How do I add someone?

Go to “Find my people”: search for someone by their exact @username, find which of your contacts already use Sipriz, or share your invite link. You only become connected if the other person accepts.

What are circles for?

Family, Friends, Work, Partner, or your own circles: you sort each of your people into one or more circles, then choose which circles see each list. Your people don't know which circle you've sorted them into.

How does Sipriz find my contacts?

Only if you agree. Your address book stays on your phone: Sipriz turns each number into an encrypted fingerprint before comparing it, and doesn't keep these fingerprints. Nobody can recover your contacts.

Secret Santa and group gifts

How do I organize a Secret Santa?

In My space, tap “Secret Santa”, then “Organize”. Enter a name, the date and the budget, pick at least two of your people, and if needed, name two people who shouldn't draw each other, a couple for example. When everyone is ready, start the draw.

Can the organizer see who drew whom?

No. The draw happens on our servers, and each person only sees who they're giving to. Even the organizer doesn't know the other draws.

How do I give a gift together with others?

On a gift, tap “Give it together”. You become the organizer: your people join the group gift by entering their share, and you talk it over in secret in the givers' chat. You can add your payment link (PayPal, Venmo, Revolut…) so everyone can pay you back.

Does Sipriz handle the group gift money?

No. Sipriz keeps track of who's chipping in and how much, but no payment goes through the app. Everyone pays their share directly to the organizer.

Account and data

How do I create an account?

With your email address, your phone number, or in one tap with Apple, Google or Facebook. You then choose your name and your @username, which is how your people find you.

I forgot my password, what should I do?

On the sign-in screen, enter your email address, then tap “Forgot password?”. You'll get a link to choose a new one. Remember to check your spam folder.

How do I delete my account?

In the app: My space, then My account, then “Delete my account”. Everything is erased: lists, gifts, photos, Moments, people and messages. You can also email us. All the details are on the Delete my account page.

Where is my data stored?

With Google Firebase, mainly in the European Union. Sipriz doesn't sell your data. It's all explained in our privacy policy.
