About Kindred
Why I built this.
Every year, the same group text. "What does she want for her birthday?" "What size is he in now?" "Did anyone already get the Lego set?"
I have a kid. My family is spread across three states. I love them, they love him, and yet every birthday and Christmas turned into a logistical mess — duplicate gifts, awkward questions, and grandparents who wanted to contribute to his college fund but didn't know how.
So I built Kindred. One link per kid. Wishlist items, contributions to a 529 or savings account, and group-funded experiences — all in one place. No more group texts. No more guessing. Just thoughtful gifts that actually matter.
What makes Kindred different
One link, every gift type.
Physical items, money toward investments, or pooled funds for experiences like a zoo membership. Whatever feels right to the gifter.
Built for the long haul.
Not a one-time baby registry. The same Kindred link works for birthday, Christmas, graduation — every occasion, every year.
No accounts required to give.
Grandma doesn't need to download an app or remember a password. She clicks the link, picks a gift, sends it. Done.
Privacy first.
Kid profiles are private to the people you share the link with. Addresses stay hidden until a gifter is actually sending a physical gift.
Who's behind it
Kindred is built by a husband and dad who got tired of the gift-coordination chaos and decided to build the tool he wished existed.
This is a small, independent project. No VC, no algorithm, no ads. Just a useful thing for families who like giving thoughtful gifts without the back-and-forth.
