Drop a Hint
Drop a Hint for Subscription Gifts
The Shopify wishlist-gifting app for subscription gifts merchants — let shoppers share what they want, then convert the people who buy for them.
Why it fits

If your assortment is built around gift-first catalogs where Drop a Hint is the conversion layer, this is the conversion layer between “I love this” and “someone just bought it for me.”
