The Wish List · try it out
Three steps, no preparation
Create wishlist
Type in your email address, and the list is there right away – no waiting for an email. The name “My Christmas wishes” is already filled in, and you can change it anytime.
Collect wishes
Copy the link from the store and paste it. Name, image and price are added on their own. On your phone, you can also do this right from “Share”.
Share the link
Send the link to everyone, by message or as a QR code. Whatever someone reserves is off the list for the others. They don’t see who it was.
What fits on a list like this
Just a few ideas. Add them with a store link or simply as text.
- Thick wool socks
- A cookbook for long evenings
- Warm white string lights
- A year of a favorite magazine
- Board game for four
- Movie theater gift card
In December, the planning usually runs through three group chats and one aunt who knows everything. A wishlist turns that into one link. Everyone sees what’s still open, quietly checks off what they’re taking care of, and the surprise still holds: whoever reserves something stays anonymous to the other guests. And when half the family makes a list of their own, everyone finally knows what they’re wrapping on the 25th.
Common questions: Christmas
- How much should you spend on Christmas gifts?
- That varies widely. Many families agree on a limit ahead of time, often $25 or $50 per gift. A shared list makes that easy, because everyone adds wishes within the agreed range.
- Is a Christmas wishlist impersonal?
- No more than a letter to Santa, and those have been around for generations. The list only says what’s wished for; how it’s chosen, wrapped and given is still personal.
- How do big families handle Christmas gifts?
- Two approaches work well: everyone keeps their own list, or the family draws names so each person buys for just one other. Both keep everyone from buying for everyone – and from giving the same thing twice.
Can we create lists for the whole family?
Yes. One address can hold as many lists as you like – one per person. Each gets its own link, and you manage them all in one place.
Does the surprise stay a surprise?
Yes. Your guests only see what’s still available. Whoever takes something doesn’t show up by name for the others, and you simply don’t open your list until Christmas morning.
What about Secret Santa at work or in a club?
Everyone makes a small list of their own and shares the link with the group. Who gives to whom you draw as usual – more on the Secret Santa page.
Can I paste links from online stores?
Yes. Paste the product link, and the name, image and price are loaded from the page. On your phone, it works right from the store’s app via “Share”.
Does the wishlist cost anything?
No. It’s completely free, with no ads and no hidden conditions.
When should the list be ready?
Ideally by the end of November, so everyone has enough time to order. If your list is called “Christmas”, December 25 is suggested as its date, and your guests see how many days are left.
Can my child have a wishlist?
Yes. You create the list, your child says what goes on it – and the letter to Santa becomes a link for the whole family.
