Bookmarklet

Works on any browser - no extension needed

What is it?

A bookmarklet is a special bookmark that does something when you click it. Ours opens Giftwhale with the current product already loaded - you just pick which list to save it to.

It's perfect if you use Firefox, Safari, Edge, or any browser that doesn't have a Giftwhale extension. Setup takes a couple of minutes, then you're good to go.

Setup

Choose your device below. If your bookmarks sync across devices, you only need to do this once.

Desktop

Easiest

Drag this button to your bookmarks bar:

Add to Giftwhale

Can't see your bookmarks bar? Press Ctrl+Shift+B (Windows) or Cmd+Shift+B (Mac) to show it.

Android

We'll create a regular bookmark first, then swap the URL for our special code.

  1. 1
    First, copy this code (tap the box to select it):
  2. 2 Bookmark this page - tap the menu (⋮) then the star
  3. 3 Open Bookmarks from the menu and find the one you just made
  4. 4 Long-press it and tap Edit. Rename it to "Add to Giftwhale"
  5. 5 Delete everything in the URL field and paste the code from step 1. Save it.

iPhone / iPad

Safari doesn't let you create bookmarklets directly, so we'll make a normal bookmark and then edit it.

  1. 1
    First, copy this code (tap the box to select it):
  2. 2 Tap the Share button (square with arrow, bottom of screen) → Add Bookmark
  3. 3 Name it "Add to Giftwhale" and tap Save
  4. 4 Tap the Bookmarks icon (open book, bottom of screen) → Edit
  5. 5 Tap your new bookmark, delete the URL, paste the code from step 1, then tap Done

Using the Bookmarklet

Now for the easy part - here's how to save items once you're set up.

Desktop

  1. 1. Browse to a product you like
  2. 2. Click Add to Giftwhale in your bookmarks bar
  3. 3. Pick a wish list and save

Mobile

  1. 1. Browse to a product you like
  2. 2. Start typing "Add to Giftwhale" in the address bar - your browser will suggest the bookmark
  3. 3. Tap it, then pick a wish list and save

Or open your bookmarks and tap it directly.

Tip: You'll need to be logged into Giftwhale. If you're not, you'll sign in first and then be taken straight to add your item.

Finding it tricky? Use Chrome? The Chrome extension is even easier.
