Questions about GlimmerDrop.

GlimmerDrop is a surprise-gift service. Friends who know you (your HintDroppers) answer a few quick questions called DropHints. We shortlist three small gifts from their hints, and a fellow GlimmerGetter, a stranger you'll never meet, picks one and writes you a note. It arrives at your door as a little something to look forward to.

Three moves. Hints: you invite a few people who know you, and each fills out DropHints, a short set of questions about what you'd love and what's a hard no. Pick: we shortlist three gifts from their hints, and a fellow GlimmerGetter chooses one and writes you a note. Reveal: your GlimmerDrop arrives at your door with the note inside.

Another GlimmerGetter, someone you'll never meet. They choose one of three options we shortlist from your hints, and write you a short note. You'll pick for someone else in the same way.

A GlimmerDrop is $25: a $20 gift, picked from your friends' hints and delivered to your door, plus $5 for GlimmerDrop. More gift amounts are coming. The first GlimmerDrops are an invite-only pilot, so join the waitlist and we'll tell you when it opens.

You tell us about allergies and dietary needs yourself when you join. We never ask your friends about that. If any HintDropper marks something as a hard no, it's ruled out.

The first GlimmerDrops go to a small, invite-only group starting in October 2026. Join the waitlist on glimmerdrop.com and we'll email you when more spots open.

No. Your HintDroppers' answers stay private. Only the GlimmerDrop team reads them, so the surprise stays a surprise.

No. The picker never sees your name, city, or address. They only see a short summary of your hints and the three options.

At least three. Five is ideal, and you can invite up to ten.

Yes, that's the fun part. It takes one screen: choose one of three options and write a short note. If you run out of time, we'll pick for you.
