Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about WishLister, the best gift list app and wish list tracker.

What is WishLister?

WishLister is a free gift list app and wish list tracker that helps you create, organize, and share gift lists. It's the best tool for managing your Christmas list, holiday list, birthday wish list, and any other gift-giving occasion.

Is WishLister free to use?

Yes! WishLister is completely free to use. There are no paywalls, no ads, and all core features are available at no cost. We believe gift list management should be accessible to everyone.

How do I create a gift list?

Creating a gift list is easy. Sign up for a free account, click "Create New List," give it a name (like "Christmas 2025" or "Birthday Wish List"), and start adding items. You can add items by pasting product links from any website.

Can I add items from any website?

Yes! WishLister works with thousands of retailers including Amazon, Target, Walmart, Etsy, Best Buy, and many more. Just paste a product link and WishLister automatically extracts the product details, images, and prices.

How do I share my wish list?

Sharing your wish list is simple. Click the "Share" button on any list to get a shareable link. You can share this link with friends and family via email, text, or social media. Recipients don't need an account to view your list.

How does purchase tracking work?

When someone buys a gift from your list, they can mark it as "purchased." The item will disappear from your view (keeping the surprise) but remain visible to other gift-givers, preventing duplicate gifts.

Can I organize my gift list by priority?

Absolutely! You can mark items as highest, high, medium, or low priority. This helps gift-givers know what matters most to you and makes it easier to organize your list by importance.

Can I create multiple gift lists?

Yes! You can create as many gift lists as you want. Organize by occasion (Christmas, birthdays, weddings), by person, or by any system that works for you. Each list is independent and can be shared separately.

Is my gift list private?

Your gift lists are private by default. Only you can see them until you choose to share them. You can set privacy levels: Private (only you), Friends Only (your friends on WishLister), or Public (anyone with the link). When you share a list, you control who can view it.

Can I use WishLister on my phone?

Yes! WishLister works on any device - desktop, tablet, or mobile phone. You can access your gift lists from anywhere with an internet connection. We also offer a browser extension for easy item addition.

What makes WishLister the best gift list app?

WishLister stands out because it's free, easy to use, works with any retailer, and includes all the features you need: automatic product extraction, purchase tracking, priority levels, and easy sharing. Plus, there are no ads or hidden costs.

How do I track my holiday shopping list?

WishLister is the perfect holiday gift tracker. Create a list for your holiday shopping, add items as you think of them, set priorities, and share with family. As gifts are purchased, they're automatically tracked to prevent duplicates.
