A Christmas list the whole family can use
Write your list once, send one link to the family chat, and let everyone quietly claim what they’re getting. No more three people buying the same jumper.

What makes a good Christmas list
- Mix of price points. Grandparents, siblings and the work Secret Santa have very different budgets. Add a price to each item so everyone can find something that fits.
- Be specific where it matters. Size, color, edition, “the blue one, not the teal one.” Put it in the note so nobody has to text you and give the game away.
- Star a few favorites. Mark the things you’d be happiest to get as “most wanted” so they show up first.
- Leave room for surprises. Add a few open-ended ideas like “a book you loved this year” or “anything for the garden.”
- Share it early. Early December is when people start shopping. Online orders and international shipping need time.
For families with kids
- Make one list per child so relatives can see at a glance what’s already covered for each of them.
- Grown-ups make and share the list. Guests only need a first name (or no name at all) to claim something.
- After Christmas, flip the “show me” switch to see who got what. It makes thank-you notes much easier.
Questions
Will I see what people are buying me?
No. Your edit view hides every claim, so the surprise survives until you choose to look.
Does my family need an app or account?
No. They open the link in any browser, tap “I’ll get this,” and they’re done.
Doing Secret Santa too?
Use the Secret Santa generator to draw names. Everyone gets a private link with only their match, and can make a wishlist right from there.
