LESS ADMIN. MORE “THAT’S SO THEM.”

A list for everyone.
A lovely little secret.

That book they mentioned. The thing they’d never buy themselves. A day out together.

Keep the good ideas in one place all year. When a birthday, Christmas or a just-because moment comes around, the family knows where to look.

One family. All your favourite people.

Any shop. Any idea.

The tiny independent shop. Your favourite big store. A homemade cake. Save what you love, with or without a link.

Keep the surprise.

Quietly claim a gift so the others know it’s covered. The person receiving it never sees who’s buying what.

Made to be shared.

Everyone in your invited family can help with every list. Share a read-only link with a friend when they ask for ideas.

A FEW THINGS YOU MIGHT BE WONDERING

Good questions.

All the detail, without the small print hunt.

Is Family Wishlist really free?

Yes. The software is free under the MIT licence, and a normal family installation is designed to fit within Cloudflare’s free plans. You can use an included workers.dev address, so buying a domain is optional. Cloudflare’s allowances apply; paid setup help from Furls is optional too.

Can I add something from any shop?

You can save an idea with any ordinary shop link, or add a wish without a link at all. The importer can suggest a name, picture and GBP price when the shop shares useful details. If a site blocks the lookup, you can fill in the wish yourself.

Will I find out what someone is buying me?

Your own wishlist never receives claim or purchase information from the server. Other family members can see who is getting a gift, so they can coordinate while your surprise stays a surprise.

Does everyone need to install an app?

No. Family members can use a web browser and sign in with an emailed one-time PIN. Android sharing uses the installed web app, iPhone and iPad sharing uses an Apple Shortcut, and desktop sharing uses a bookmark button. These are optional conveniences.

Do I have to be technical?

Everyday use is straightforward. The initial setup does involve GitHub, Cloudflare and some command-line steps. There is a detailed installation guide, or you can ask Furls for a quote to help you set it up in your own account.

Can I share a list with someone outside the family?

Yes. Create a read-only viewing link for one person’s list and send it to a friend or relative. Anyone with that link can see those wishes, but never gift claims. You can stop an individual link from working whenever you like.

A SMALL THING THAT MAKES GIVING BETTER

For your family.
For the joy of it.

Make a little space for the things they’ll love.
