Digital wishlist
A digital wishlist is the same idea as the note on the fridge, except it is always up to date and always available to the people you share it with. Instead of answering the same question ten times in December, you send one link and everyone sees exactly what you would like.
You can create a digital wishlist here for free, straight in the browser. No account is needed, the list is stored in a secure database, and you get two links: a private one for editing and one to share.
What is a digital wishlist?
A digital wishlist is a list of wishes kept online instead of on paper. Each wish can carry a product link, a rough price and a short note, so whoever is buying does not have to guess the size, colour or model.
Because it lives online, you can change it whenever you like. Remove a wish or add a new one and everyone holding the link sees the updated version immediately, with nothing new to send.
Why it beats a handwritten list
- Always current, you edit once and everyone sees the same version
- Product links mean the right variant ends up in the bag
- Shared in seconds by chat, email or text
- Reservations stop the same gift being bought twice
- Nothing gets lost in a drawer, the list stays in the database
How to build your digital wishlist
Open the tool, pick the occasion and add wishes one at a time. A line about why you want something makes the list nicer to shop from and helps anyone looking for a similar alternative.
- Choose the occasion the wishlist is for
- Add wishes with a link, a price and a short comment
- Mix small and large wishes so everyone finds something
- Save your private link, for example by emailing it to yourself
- Send the share link to family and friends
How the list is stored and shared
The list sits in a secure database rather than only in your browser, so you can reach it from your phone, laptop or tablet. Your private link is the key to editing it, and the share link is a read-only version others can open without an account.
Note that a list nobody has opened for three months is deleted automatically, so keep the link if you want to reuse the list next time.
Digital wishlist questions
- Does a digital wishlist cost anything?
- No. Creating, editing and sharing the list is free, with no paywall and no limit on how many wishes you add.
- Do I need an account or an app?
- No. The list is created in the browser and opens with an ordinary link, both for you and for the people you share it with.
- Can I edit the list after sharing it?
- Yes. Edit it any time through your private link and everyone with the share link sees the updated version.
- Can I see who reserved a wish?
- No. You see that a wish is reserved but not by whom, so the surprise survives while duplicates are avoided.
