About Spot Gift
Spot Gift is an innovative iOS tool designed to make the classic gesture of saying “coffee’s on me” seamless, personal, and immediate right inside iMessage.

Spot bridges this gap by allowing you to send a specific café item directly to a friend, coworker, or partner through iMessage. The recipient doesn't have to use it immediately; instead, they can effortlessly save the item to their Apple Wallet and redeem it in-store whenever they choose.
Created by makers Tristan Shin and Anish Karthik, Spot offers a thoughtful alternative to sending impersonal cash or generic gift cards, giving you a personal way to say thanks, cheer someone up, or share a favorite treat.
