Everyone adds what they want. Everyone sees what's already taken. No more duplicate gifts, no more guessing.
Without coordination, two people buy the same thing. Someone ends up returning a gift.
Nobody wants to ask "what do you want?" but nobody wants to guess wrong either.
Important dates slip by. You end up panic-buying last minute — or missing them entirely.
Three simple steps to make every occasion effortless.
Create a list in under a minute. Add a name, pick your occasion, and share it with the people who need it.
Paste any link and Giftwhale fills in the details. Add from Amazon, Etsy, John Lewis, local shops — anywhere.

I like Giftwhale a lot. If I had to have a complaint it would be I wish I could reorder my list in the all wishlist view, as well as I wish I could search at the top of the list for something on that list if I have a long list..

Really user friendly, and love the fact that people can reserve the items if they aren’t ready to buy them straight away..

LOVE THIS WEBSITE AND APP. I’ve been using this for a couple of years now, and a bunch of my family uses it now as well. I love it so much, it’s so convenient. I use it for holidays, bday, general wishlists, etc. It’s organized but not complicated, it’s convenient and rlly easy to use. I love that I can add links and pick my own image for the item. Perfect and wouldn’t change anything tbh..
