They can see your list and mark what they've bought, so nobody doubles up, and you never see what's coming. It's free, with no account or email. ## How to make a Christmas list and share it 1. **Start your list.** Choose My list only and enter your name, or your child's name if the list is for them. 2. **Add your ideas.** Paste a product link from any online shop, or describe what you'd like. Use the note for sizes, colors or the exact edition. 3. **Send the share link to family.** Drop it in the family chat or a message to anyone who asks what you want this year. It opens in any browser. 4. **Keep it up to date.** If you get something early or change your mind, edit the list. Everyone with the link sees the change next time they look. ## When should I send my Christmas list? Early. The people buying for you need time to shop, and online orders need time to arrive, especially in December when deliveries slow down. Sending your list as soon as people start asking gives everyone the widest choice, and it stops well-meaning relatives buying something off-list before they've seen it. Your link keeps working after you share it. If you change your mind about an idea, edit your list and everyone with the link sees the update next time they open it. ## How do I make a Christmas list for my kids? Make one list per child and name it after them, such as "Maya's Christmas list". Add their ideas with sizes in the notes, then send the link to grandparents, aunts and uncles. One thing to know: whoever makes a list is its owner, and the owner's own page never shows what's been marked bought. To keep track of what's covered, open the list's share link on a phone or computer you haven't edited the list on; there it shows the marks, the way relatives see them. Or add each child as a person in a group wishlist instead. Then you can see the marks on their lists, because they aren't yours. ## What should go on a Christmas list? A list goes further when each idea does a different job for the people shopping from it. - Something specific you'd happily buy yourself, linked to the exact item. - A range of prices, so a close relative and a distant one can both find something. - An experience or consumable, like tickets or a favorite coffee, for people who like to give something different. - One open idea, such as "a cozy winter hat", for anyone who enjoys choosing. ## Should I send one list to everyone? Yes. One link works for every relative, and it's what stops duplicates: when your aunt marks the board game as bought, your uncle sees that before he buys it too. Sending different lists to different people loses that. People can mark items without making an account, and nobody sees who bought what, only that it's taken. ## Can I use my Christmas list for Secret Santa too? If your family or office runs a Secret Santa draw, each person adds a wishlist as part of it, and their Secret Santa sees it when they reveal their match. A personal Christmas list is for everyone else who might buy for you. ## Frequently asked questions ### Will I see what people have bought me? No. Anyone with your link can mark an item as bought, but those marks are hidden from you, so Christmas morning stays a surprise. ### Can I edit my Christmas list after sharing it? Yes. Add, change or remove ideas at any time from your own link. The shared link always shows the current list. ### Can I see who has looked at my list? No. The list doesn't record who opens it, and a bought mark only says an item is taken, never who took it. That's part of keeping the surprise. ### Can relatives open my list without an app? Yes. The link opens in any web browser on a phone, tablet or computer, and nobody needs an account to see your list or mark a gift as bought. ### Does it work for Hanukkah, birthdays and other occasions? Yes. A list isn't tied to Christmas. Name it for whatever you're celebrating and share it the same way. ## Related guides - [Wishlist maker](https://www.giftmycrew.com/guides/wishlist-maker): Make a wishlist from any store and share it with one link.
