How to Make a Gift List
How to make your gift list
A simple guide to building your gift list: what to include, how to prioritize it, and the best way to share it so no one gifts the same thing.
Why make a gift list?
Get what you want
Your loved ones gift with the confidence of getting it right every time.
No duplicate gifts
Real-time reservations stop two people from buying the same thing.
Coordinate with ease
One link replaces dozens of messages asking "what do you want?".
Make your list in 3 steps
Add your wishes
Add products by pasting a link from any store, or write ideas and experiences.
Prioritize
Mix options at different price points and put what you want most first.
Share the link
Send your list and let each person reserve what they will gift.
Common mistakes when asking for gifts (and how to avoid them)
The most common mistake is asking for just one thing or only expensive items: you leave out anyone with a different budget. Add varied options and, for something big, turn on a group fund.
The second mistake is sharing the list messily over chat. A single link, optimized for sharing and with reservations, prevents misunderstandings and duplicate gifts.
A good gift list starts with variety
Making a gift list is the easiest way to receive things you will actually use. The key is offering a range of prices and ideas so everyone can find something that fits their budget.
Then, what matters most is how you share it. With What I Wish you build your list in minutes, send it, and reservations update in real time so no one gifts the same thing.
