A wishlist in the GIFTbase app

In short. GIFTbase is a free wishlist app for iPhone and Android, and a simple wishlist works right here in your browser too: wishes are added by link from any store, every list has a web page for friends who need no app, reservations keep the surprise or show it, as you decide, one wishlist can be run by several people, and the ideas for someone else's list are picked for that specific person.

Add gifts from any store

The wishlist isn't tied to one marketplace — all you need is a link. Where the store shares data, the card fills itself in with the title, picture and price; where it doesn't, you type it in.

…and any other store, a maker on Etsy, a spa voucher or concert tickets — if it has a link, it can go on the list.

A wishlist for every occasion

The mechanics are the same — what changes is what goes on the list and at what budget. Pick your occasion:

How it works — and what it looks like

Three steps to a link you can send to everyone at once. On the right — adding a wish by link and the list with a reserved gift.

  1. 1

    Create a list here or in the app

    A name, an occasion and a date: birthday, wedding, Christmas or just “my wishes”. As many lists as you like, all free.

  2. 2

    Add wishes by link

    Paste a link from any store and the app will try to pull the title, the image and the price. If a store does not give the data away, fill in the card by hand, it takes a minute. No link? Add it as text.

  3. 3

    Share one link

    Every wishlist has a page on giftbase.app. Friends and family open it in a browser, no install, no sign-up, and see the current list.

Two kinds of help — personal picks in the app and ready-made ideas on the site.

What the GIFTbase wishlist can do

  • Free, with no limits

    On lists or wishes, on iPhone and Android with one account for both.

  • Links from any store

    Any country. The card fills in automatically where the store gives the data, by hand where it does not.

  • A web page for every list

    For people without the app: open, browse, reserve. No sign-up.

  • Reservations your way

    Keep the surprise, or see what is already taken. Your call in the list settings.

  • Protected reservations

    Want only people you know to claim gifts? Switch on the mode where reserving requires the app.

  • Shared wishlists

    Optional: several people run one list. Invite co-editors with a link to fill it together. Most wishlist apps cannot do this.

  • Calendar and reminders

    Birthdays, anniversaries, holidays, with a heads-up in advance.

  • Gift finder built in

    Ideas for one specific person, sent straight into the wishlist.

What is a wishlist?

A wishlist is a list of things you actually want, shared with the people who will be giving: specific items with links to where to buy them, and prices. Friends open it by link, pick a gift and reserve it — so nobody brings the same thing twice. You get what you wanted; they get the confidence that the gift will land.

It used to be a note on the fridge or a “what do you want?” text thread. Now it is a page that opens in anyone's browser, no sign-up. The list lives in the GIFTbase app: add a wish by link from any store and it shows up on the page; someone reserves it and everyone else sees it is taken — while you, if you prefer, don't.

One wishlist works for a birthday, Christmas, a wedding or “just because”, and you can run it together with a partner or the whole family.

A shared wishlist for couples, families and wedding guests

Most wishlist apps give one person one list. GIFTbase lets several people run the same list: a couple builds a wedding or housewarming wishlist together, parents keep a kid’s birthday list, a family runs one Christmas list where everyone adds and everyone reserves. Invite co-editors with a link, and guests reserve through the same web page.

It also works as a plain birthday wish list maker: create the list, add 10–15 wishes across a range of prices with a link on each, send the page a week or two before the date, and let reservations keep the surprise. Open the demo wishlist to see what your friends will see, no app needed.

Frequently asked questions

Yes. A shared wishlist in GIFTbase is run by two or more people: both add and edit wishes, and guests reserve through one common web link. It works for weddings, housewarmings and holidays.

Yes. Lists are free without limits. You build the list right here on the website or in the app, and your friends use the web page in any browser: no app, no sign-up, reservations included.

Yes. Wishlists, shared lists, reservations and the calendar are free without limits. Only gift search and giving scenarios have paid options.

No. The list opens by link in any browser, and gifts can be reserved right there. The list owner signs in on the website or in the app, and co-editing a list needs the app.

That is a wishlist with reservations. In GIFTbase it works like this: you build a list of wishes, send guests one link, each of them opens it in a browser without signing up and taps Reserve. Everyone else sees the item is taken and picks something else. It works for a kid's birthday, a wedding or Christmas.

Yes, that is a shared wishlist. You invite the second person with a link, and only the two of you see and edit the list until you decide to send the link to guests. It is handy as a couple's list: wedding, anniversary or a new home.

That is your call. By default reservations are hidden: the owner sees the list without marks, while guests see that an item is taken. If you do not want the surprise, switch reservations on in the list settings.

Any. Paste a link and the app will try to pull the title, the image and the price. With big stores like Amazon this works reliably; some sites do not give the data away, and then you fill in the card by hand in a minute. You can also add a wish with no link at all.

Yes, GIFTbase is on the App Store and Google Play with one shared account, so the list syncs between devices.

Create a list, open Shared wishlists and send the invite link to your partner. Both of you add and edit wishes, and guests reserve through the common web link.
