The Giftwhale app is on the App Store. Free, iPhone and iPad, and it does the whole personal gifting job rather than just holding a list.

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.

Giftwhale has revolutionized our family's Birthday and Christmas gift buying. No more keeping track of who has bought what! Giftwhale does that for us! Double gift buying has also been eliminated. And, we all get to be surprised when the gifts are opened, as no one knows what others have gotten. I love using giftwhale!.

Our whole family uses Gift Whale for birthdays, special occasions like Mother’s and Father’s Day, Christmas, etc. to know what we all really want. It’s such a perfect, simple way to be able to get the perfect gifts for your loved ones and to keep track of which items have already been purchased. It’s like an in-store gift registry but way less complicated! We love it and have used it for a few years now!.

When Amazon would not allow us to add to wish list for items that were not on Amazon's website, we turned to Gift Whale. We were able to link to Amazon and then use this list to add other items as well. Pretty handy. We like the friends.
