Frequently asked questions
- Can you give a donation as a gift?
- Absolutely. For someone who needs nothing, a good deed in their name is one of the most thoughtful gifts there is – they get the gesture, and a cause they would choose gets the support.
- What do you give someone who wants nothing?
- Give on their behalf. A tree planted, an animal adopted, research funded – a gift that's about their values, not more stuff.
- What makes 'Surprise Me, Silly' unique?
- Most gift sites just show you more stuff. We look beyond the obvious, weaving in experiences, small surprises and good deeds, and every idea is hand-picked rather than dumped on you by an algorithm.
