Choose a group gift everyone is happy to chip in for
Group gifts get stuck on two things: what to buy, and how much everyone is willing to spend. Nobody wants to be the one who says the fancy option is out of their budget. Add the gift ideas with rough prices to a Rankd, send it to everyone chipping in, and let them rank privately. The gift with the best overall ranking is the one the group is glad to pay for.
- Spa day gift card
- Weekend getaway voucher
- Nice espresso machine
- Concert tickets
- Cooking class for two
- Framed custom print
Free. Edit the options, then send one link to your group.
Why ranking beats a regular poll here
- People with tighter budgets can rank the priciest gift last without saying so.
- Everyone who pays has a say, so nobody funds a gift they didn’t want.
- The ranked order gives you a backup if the winner sells out.
How it works
- Add the question and 3 to 30 options
- Send one private link to the group
- Everyone ranks privately, in about a minute
- You reveal the winner
Tips
- Put the total price, or the price per person, in each option.
- Keep the recipient off the link so it stays a surprise.
- Agree on how you will split the cost before the reveal.
Questions
Does Rankd collect the money?
No. Rankd only helps the group choose the gift. Collect money the way your group usually does, then buy the winner.
Can people see how I ranked?
No. Each person’s order stays private. Everyone sees the group’s final order and where they personally landed, never anyone else’s individual ranking.
Is it free? Does everyone need the app?
Rankd is free and runs in the browser, so there is nothing to download. Friends open the link from any group chat (iMessage, WhatsApp, Slack, email) and rank in about a minute.
