Wishlist groups

Start a wishlist group

Gather everyone's wishlists for a holiday or birthday in one group. Name it, tie it to a gift list or a date, then add your family members to it.

A wishlist group collects everyone's wishlists in one place, so the whole group can see what each person would love and quietly claim gifts. It works for a family, a group of friends, or a party. You set it up once, then invite people with a link.

Steps

  1. Tap the + button in the middle of the bottom bar, on any screen.
  2. Tap Wishlist group. (No groups yet? On the Wishlists tab you can also tap Create your first group.)
  3. Type a Group name, like "Smith Family Christmas".
  4. Optional: under Link to a gift list (optional), pick one of your gift lists. The group takes its date from that list, and everyone you add gets a spot on the list plus a wishlist in the group. Not linking? Pick an Exchange / event date (optional) instead, so everyone sees a countdown.
  5. Tap Create group.

Add yourself

Creating a group makes you its organizer, but not one of its members. To have your own wishlist in the group, add yourself:

  1. Open the group's card on the Wishlists tab and tap Add a member.
  2. Under Who is this?, choose Me (this account).
  3. Tap Add member & wishlist.

Your wishlist in the group also shows under Yours at the top of the Wishlists tab.

Good to know

  • Only the organizer can add, edit, or remove members, and edit or delete the group.
  • You can change the name, the linked gift list, or the date later. Tap the pencil icon on the group's card.
  • Linking a gift list is what connects the group to your planning: each member becomes a person on that list, so their wishes are right there when you shop for them.
  • Want to draw names for a gift exchange instead? Make a Secret Santa group.
