Frequently Asked Questions

  • Friends & family

  • How can friends & family view my wishlist?

    The wishlist manager creates a wishlist, adds gifts and then makes a weblink to invite friends and family. They can send this link however they like — for example by email, WhatsApp or on a printed card.

    All friends and family need to view the wishlist is this link. If the manager protected it with a password, you'll need to enter it.

  • How can friends & family reserve a present?

    Friends and family simply press Reserve present next to the gift they want. Then they enter their name and email so they can undo the reservation later if needed.

    They can choose whether to receive gift details by email.

  • Can friends & family undo their reservation?

    Yes — by pressing Undo reservation next to the gift. They then enter their email to confirm they made the reservation.

  • Making your first wishlist

  • What can I do with this site?

    You can publish your wishlist here. Friends and family can view it and reserve gifts so you don't end up with duplicates. It's perfect for birthdays, weddings, baby showers and more.

  • What are the advantages over a paper wishlist?

    An online wishlist has lots of advantages. Friends and family can view it 24/7, reserve gifts so no one else buys the same thing, and undo the reservation if plans change.

    You can also add gifts any time, with images and weblinks, so your wishlist looks great.

    Also, you don't need to create a new wishlist from scratch every time. Keep the one you already made — and best of all, it's free.

  • Can everyone see my wishlist?

    No, only people with the weblink can see it. You can also protect your wishlist with a password.

  • What about my privacy?

    Privacy matters. We handle your personal data carefully. You can read more via the link at the bottom of the page.

  • That all sounds great! How can I join?

    Welcome! You can read the steps here.

  • I do not receive the email to activate my account.

    It may take a few minutes for the email to arrive, so please be patient.

    Check your spam folder. In Gmail, also check the Promotions tab.

    Otherwise, feel free to contact me and I'll activate it for you.

  • Managing your wishlists

  • I wish to add some more presents to my list. Can I do that?

    Absolutely. Open the relevant wishlist, then click Add present.

  • Can I see for myself which gifts have been crossed off?

    Totally up to you. You can stay fully informed about reservations by enabling that option. If you'd rather keep it a surprise which gifts you'll get, you can leave the option turned off.

    If you’d like to send a little thank-you to the gift-givers, there’s a handy list to help you out.

  • I forgot my password as a wishlist manager.

    On the login page there is a link to reset your password. An email will be sent automatically.

  • I do not receive the email to reset my password. Now what?

    It may take a few minutes for the email to arrive, so please be patient.

    Check your spam folder. In Gmail, also check the Promotions tab.

    Otherwise, feel free to contact me and I'll reset it for you.

  • How can I change the order of the gifts on my wishlist?

    On your gift overview page, you will find the Change order button. This will take you to a handy page where you can arrange your gifts in any order you like.

  • Can I mark a gift as a favorite?

    Absolutely! A small red heart will appear next to that gift on your wishlist. If your visitors are unsure what this means, they can click the heart to see a short explanation.

  • How can I delete my entire account?

    On your profile page you can permanently delete your account. When logged in, find this via the top-right menu.

  • If you have another question, feel free to contact me.

    Personal data protection

    Privacy is important, so we handle your personal data carefully. Your details help this website work properly. You can read more below.

    You can delete your account at any time. If you do, no personal information about you will remain in our database. If you don't delete your account, it will be kept for up to three years after your last login. This gives you the chance to reuse your wishlists.

    Your email address is required for communication. That can be automatic, for example if you forget your password, you will automatically receive an email. It can also be manual, for example if you use the contact form. Some mail functions use Mailchimp and Postmark. You may occasionally receive a newsletter from us; of course, you can unsubscribe at any time.

    When reserving a present, you enter your email address. You can also choose to receive the gift information by email. When cancelling a reservation, you will be asked to enter your email address again. This helps make sure you don't accidentally cancel someone else's reservation.

    You can optionally enter your birth month in your account. This is only the month, not the day or year. Some time before your birthday, you may receive a reminder email to make a wishlist.
