A little helping hand.

Shopping for someone?

1. Open their list from Family lists.
2. Choose Thinking about it to save a gift you might buy.
3. Once you buy it, choose I got it. Everyone else will know it’s taken.

You can find your choices under My shopping on the home page. Gift cards and money can have more than one giver.

Your surprises stay surprises.

You can’t see who is buying gifts on your own list, or secret ideas others add for you.

On everyone else’s lists, you won’t see what’s been claimed either, so Christmas morning stays a surprise for you too. Before you buy something, tap Check status on it, or just tap I got it: if someone already has it, you’ll be told. Prefer to see what’s taken? Turn on Show me what’s taken on the home page. You still won’t see who took it. Parents can see everything on their own kids’ lists.

Adding your wishes

Open My wish list, choose Add a gift idea, and fill in the details. A shop link or photo helps everyone find the right thing.

Sharing the cost?

Choose Start a chip-in on a gift. The organizer buys it, and everyone else pays them back.

Changed your mind?

Use Drop to release a gift you’re considering. After 7 days without confirmation it’s shown as possibly available; after 14 days the reservation clears. Bought gifts stay marked.
