Keep gift ideas together and surprises secret.

Make a list for each person, add ideas from any shop and let the family see who is buying each gift. The person it’s for won’t see the plan.

Keep ideas all year round.

Each person has one list for birthdays, Christmas and any other occasion. Add ideas as you think of them, mark your favourites, and include useful details such as size, colour or an approximate price in pounds.

Let the family know what you’re getting.

Choose “I’ll get this” to reserve a wish, then mark it bought when you’re ready. You can change your mind and leave it for someone else. The person receiving the gift cannot see any of this.

Add ideas from any shop.

Save a product link from any retailer, including second-hand shops. You can also add ideas without links, such as a picnic, a pottery class or a homemade cake.

Help with each other’s lists.

Everyone you invite can add, edit and remove wishes on every list. Add ideas for someone else or help them include the right details. Invite people you’re comfortable sharing that access with.

Spend less time typing.

Paste a shop link and the app can suggest a name, picture and price. Optional AI assistance helps read details from the product page. Check or change the suggestions before saving; you can enter everything yourself if the shop blocks the lookup.

Share ideas with friends and relatives.

Create a viewing link for one person’s list. Anyone with the link can see the ideas without signing in, but cannot edit them or see who is buying what. Stop the link from working whenever you choose.

Keep track of ideas and who’s buying them.

A separate list for each person makes ideas easy to find. Reserving a gift lets everyone else know it’s covered without asking the person it’s for.
