Giftwhale is now on your phone
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.

It's been a blast using Giftwhale. I was searching for a website where I could organize my wishlist and add things I wanted (other than Pinterest haha) and i came across this. So glad I did! <3.
