Gift Buddy has twenty achievements, drawn as seals in four rarities. Every one has a single criterion, and your three rarest show on your profile for friends to see. This is the complete list with the exact rule for every seal, plus the few things achievements deliberately do not do. If you want the points side of the system first, start with Gift Karma: points, levels and streaks.
Four rarities, four seals
Every achievement is drawn as a seal, the kind pressed into wax on an envelope, and the rarity decides how it looks:
- Common: an outlined seal in slate. Most people earn these in their first weeks.
- Rare: a filled seal in moss green. These take a season of regular use.
- Epic: a filled seal in the app's violet. A year of giving, or something unusual.
- Legendary: a clay seal with a double rim and a slow shimmer. There are two, and both take a very long time.
Locked seals sit in the grid as faint outlines with a progress count underneath, such as 3/10, so you always know how far away the next one is. The shimmer on a legendary seal respects your device's reduced-motion setting.
Wishing: gifts you add to your lists
Four seals count the gifts you have created, across all your wishlists.
| Seal | Rarity | Criterion |
|---|---|---|
| First Wish | Common | Create your first gift |
| Wishful Thinker | Common | Create 10 gifts |
| Dream Big | Rare | Create 50 gifts |
| Gift Guru | Epic | Create 100 gifts |
Two more look at what those gifts are:
| Seal | Rarity | Criterion |
|---|---|---|
| Category Explorer | Rare | Gifts in 10 different categories |
| High Roller | Epic | One gift priced at 500 USD or more, in any currency |
High Roller uses a fixed table per currency rather than a live exchange rate, so the bar does not move with the market: 500 dollars, 450 euros, 400 pounds, 20,000 hryvnias, 2,000 zlotys, and similar thresholds for the other currencies the app supports.
Giving: gifts you fulfill for others
These count gifts marked done where you were the giver, either as the person who claimed it or as a confirmed participant in a group gift.
| Seal | Rarity | Criterion |
|---|---|---|
| Good Samaritan | Common | Fulfill your first gift |
| Generous Soul | Common | Fulfill 5 gifts |
| Gift Hero | Rare | Fulfill 25 gifts |
| Santa Mode | Legendary | Fulfill 100 gifts |
Santa Mode is one of the two legendary seals. A hundred fulfilled gifts is years of birthdays for most people, which is the point: it marks someone who gives constantly, not someone who had one busy December. Group gifts count for every confirmed participant, so preparing a gift together moves all of you towards it.
Social: who you follow and who follows you
| Seal | Rarity | Criterion |
|---|---|---|
| Social Butterfly | Common | Follow 10 people |
| Popular | Common | 10 followers |
| Influencer | Rare | 50 followers |
Followers are counted among active accounts only. A follower who deletes their account stops counting, though a seal you already have stays.
Streaks: days in a row
| Seal | Rarity | Criterion |
|---|---|---|
| Consistent | Common | A 7-day streak |
| Dedicated | Rare | A 30-day streak |
| Unstoppable | Legendary | A 100-day streak |
A streak is consecutive days on which you opened the app, counted in your own time zone. The seals look at your longest streak, so a streak you have since broken still counts if it reached the mark. Unstoppable is the other legendary seal: a hundred days without a gap.
Profile, early adopters and subscribers
| Seal | Rarity | Criterion |
|---|---|---|
| Profile Perfectionist | Common | Every profile field filled, including your phone number |
| Early Adopter | Epic | Account created before 2027 |
| Supporter | Rare | Any paid plan |
| Patron | Epic | The Evergreen plan |
Profile Perfectionist is the common seal people miss most often, because the phone number is the field everyone skips. It also lets friends find you from their contacts, so it is worth filling in for its own sake.
Early Adopter has a deadline. It goes to every account created before the first of January 2027, Kyiv time, and after that it can never be earned again. It is the only seal in the list that you can miss by waiting.
Supporter and Patron unlock as soon as you are on the matching plan. If the subscription ends, the seal stays.
Which three your friends see
Your profile shows the three rarest seals you own, newest first among seals of the same rarity. The full grid, with locked seals and progress counts, is yours alone in the Karma hub. So a friend opening your profile might see Early Adopter, Gift Hero and Consistent, and nothing about the rest of your grid.
What achievements do not do
A few boundaries, so the system stays honest:
- They do not pay Karma. Points come from actions, and the Karma rulebook has the full table. Seals are a record, not a currency.
- They are never taken away. Delete gifts, lose followers, let a plan lapse: the seals you have stay.
- Only two follow a plan. Supporter and Patron come with a paid plan and say so; the other eighteen can only be earned.
- Your history counted. When achievements launched, we evaluated every account against all twenty rules, so what you did before launch unlocked the matching seals on day one.
Where to see them
Open the Profile tab, tap Karma, and the grid sits right under your streak. Tap any seal, locked or not, to read its criterion and your progress towards it. New seals announce themselves with a sheet in the app and a notification if you have them on.
One seal has a clock
Nineteen of the twenty will wait for you. Early Adopter will not: it needs an account that exists before 2027. If you have been meaning to set one up, that is the reason to do it this year. Then add a wish and fulfill one gift, and with Early Adopter that is three seals already yours.
Gift Buddy is free to start on iPhone. The Android version is in testing.
