What makes Gift Reservations special
Your reservations are completely invisible to the wish list owner. They'll never see what's been reserved - keeping the surprise intact.

Surprise kept safe!
No account needed to reserve a gift. Guests can simply enter their name and email to claim an item - perfect for extended family.
Items with quantities are tracked automatically. If someone wants 6 wine glasses, each person can reserve just 2.

Nothing's more awkward than showing up to a party with the same gift as someone else. Or finding out that three people all bought the same item from someone's wish list.
When you reserve a gift on Giftwhale, other gift-givers can see it's taken - but the recipient can't. It's the perfect way to coordinate with family and friends whilst keeping the surprise intact.
