Step-by-Step Guide

How to Use Your S-LUT

Whether you're creating your own S-LUT or shopping for someone else, here's everything you need to know.

For Gift Receivers

Creating Your S-LUT

Set up your profile so Santa can guide your gift-givers

1

Share Your Interests

Select categories like Tech, Home, Fashion, Gaming, and more. Add your own custom interests too.

2

Set Preferences

Tell us about your style, favorite colors, and general preferences. No need to be specific!

3

Choose Your Theme

Pick a festive theme for your S-LUT page—Santa, Mrs. Claus, Rudolph, Hanukkah, and more.

4

Share Your Link

Get your unique S-LUT link to share with anyone who might be shopping for you.

The Cheeky Meter

Control how cryptic Santa is with gift-givers. Set it low (1-3) for straightforward hints, medium (4-6) for playful mystery, or high (7-10) for delightfully cryptic riddles. The higher the meter, the more fun the chase!

For Gift Givers

Finding the Perfect Gift

Use someone's S-LUT to discover what they really want

1

Find Their S-LUT

Use a shared link or search by email (if they've enabled discoverability).

2

Chat with Santa

Ask Santa about gift ideas. He'll tell you if you're getting warmer or colder.

3

Follow the Hints

"Ice cold" means wrong direction. "On fire!" means you're onto something perfect.

4

Shop with Confidence

Once you're hot on the trail, browse gift suggestions with Amazon links.
