Holiday shopping is a seasonal addition to the mental load of motherhood, since you’re not only buying gifts for your kids, partner (and yes, sometimes yourself…sigh) but also extended family and friends. That’s why our moms have been loving a new “shopping companion” for busy parents, HintHint. A beautiful and simple app, it makes gift-giving less stressful and more streamlined. “We make it effortless to discover, save, organize and share everything you’re buying for the entire family, across the entire internet. Led by our universal wishlist functionality and one-click save from phone and desktop, it’s never been easier to organize everything from holidays to birthdays and beyond,” says HintHint founder Iman Dakhil.
Iman, a mom of three, created the app with families in mind. “The holiday season is hard enough as it is. Between figuring out what your kids really want, coordinating with relatives, and prepping for winter vacations, it can feel like chaos. HintHint helps take the guesswork out and keeps everything organized so you can actually enjoy the season,” says Iman.
Below, we’re sharing more about HintHint and holiday shopping tips.

Create Lists for Each Of Your Kids
If you’re asked “What do the kids want?” on repeat, the wishlist feature from HintHint is a godsend. “Instead of texting photos and links to grandparents, aunts, uncles, and friends, just send them a single Hint link. They see exactly what your child wants, and they can buy straight from the list. It’s a game-changer for busy families and eliminates guesswork and duplicate gifts,” says Iman.
Start Early—And Update Often
Once you have a wishlist, it’s easy to add more—because your kids will, of course, have more requests as the season begins. No more piecemeal texts to the group chat, only to be asked to resend it days later when the link is lost in the back and forth about holiday dinner menus and travel plans.
Take Pics of Whatever They Ask You To Buy Them
If you’re in a store and your kids beg you for something, take a photo and then use it as a reminder to update your HintHint wishlist. Less whining and streamlined gift-giving—it’s a win-win!
Use HintHint’s AI Technology for Ideas They’ll Love
You don’t have hours to spend searching for the perfect gift, because HintHint solves that using cutting-edge technology. “Our Holiday Shopping Guides are designed to do 90% of the work for you – thoughtful, curated gift ideas for every age, interest, and price point, all handpicked so you don’t have to sift through endless lists,” says Iman.
Keep Creating Lists All Year Long
Your wishlist doesn’t go anywhere after the holiday. Use it as a jumping off point for the next birthday or holiday. “As a mom of three, I was juggling camps, school lists, birthdays, and a million little ‘mom tasks’ every week. I kept thinking, ‘Why isn’t there one place to keep track of all this?’ HintHint was born out of that chaos,” says Iman. She adds: “Our guides are powerful because they’re curated by someone who’s living it – a mom who’s juggling three kids and actually understands what families need.”
