Ask someone for their wishlist

Not sure what to get someone? Ask them. Send a link from their page in your gift list. They make a wishlist on Wishpile, and every wish shows up on their page here, so you can pick one and claim it.

Steps

1. Tap People in the bottom bar, then the person's name.
2. Tap Ask with their name, for example Ask Mom. Wishpile gets a link ready.
3. Tap Send the link and pick how to send it: a text, an email, or any app. On a computer, tap Copy and paste it into a message.
4. When they answer, a card on your Home says they shared a wishlist with you. Tap See their wishes.
5. On their page, under From wishlists, tap I'll get this on anything you'd like to give. It's added to their gifts in your list.

What they see

The link opens a page saying you'd love to know what they'd like. They sign up free, or sign in if they're already on Wishpile, and start a wishlist (or pick one they already have) to share with you. Then they add the things they'd love, and each one shows up for you straight away.

Good to know

• You only see the one wishlist they share with you, not any others they have.
• They never see what's been claimed. Anyone else shopping from the same wishlist sees it's taken, but not who took it, so nothing gets bought twice.
• Changed your mind? Tap Take back my claim on the wish. The gift idea stays in your list until you delete it.
• Each link is for one person. Once someone answers it, it can't be used again. Ask again from their page if you need a new one.
• Already see wishes on someone's page, from a group or a shared list? Then there's no need to ask, so the card doesn't show.
