How WishNest works

Everything you need to know, in pictures where we could manage it.

Three steps, that's it

1. Create your group

One person starts a gift circle for the family or friend group.

2. Everyone adds wishes

Paste a product link and the details fill themselves in.

3. Claim gifts secretly

Pick what to buy. The recipient never knows, nobody doubles up.

The secret claims magic

This is what makes WishNest different from a shared note or spreadsheet.

You add a gift

Coffee machine

Claimed

Your wishlist
Mum claims it

You see nothing. The surprise stays a surprise.

Everyone else sees "claimed". So nobody buys it twice.

What a group looks like

A group is a private circle. You can be in as many as you like.

The Smith Family

Your private gift circle

You
Wishlist
Mum
Wishlist
Dad
Wishlist
Sister
Wishlist

Everyone in the group has their own wishlists and can see everyone else's. Only invited people can get in.

Four ways to invite people

All of them live under the Invite button on your group page.

WhatsApp link

One tap, message already written

QR code

Scan it in person at the dinner table

6-letter code

Read it out over the phone

Email invite

A branded invite lands in their inbox

No account? No problem

Perfect for grandparents and anyone who won't sign up for anything.

You share your list link
Granny opens it, no account

Reserves a gift

Just her name and email

Anyone with your wishlist link can reserve a gift without signing up. You still won't see who reserved what.
