A wishlist your friends can use without signing up
Most wishlist tools ask everyone to register. That is where the list dies: half the family never gets past the sign-up screen, and you are back to group chats.
Who actually needs an account
Only you, and only so the list has an owner and an address that stays yours. Everyone you share the link with — the people who matter for whether the list works — arrives on a normal web page and can use all of it straight away.
Reserving takes a first name or nickname, which is shown to other visitors so they know who is bringing what. No email, no password, no confirmation step.
Why we ask for a name at all
A reservation with nobody attached to it is not much use: the next visitor cannot tell whether it was a real claim or a stray click, and two people can still end up coordinating around a ghost. A first name is the smallest thing that makes the list trustworthy.
The name is stored with the reservation and shown to other visitors of that page. It is never shown to the person whose list it is.
Changed your mind
The reservation belongs to the browser that made it, so you can undo your own claim from the same device without asking anyone. Nobody else can release it for you.
Do visitors need an account to reserve a gift?
No. Anyone with the link can reserve by typing a first name or nickname. Accounts are only for people who want to own a list.
Why do I have to sign up to create a list?
A list needs an owner and a permanent address, and it needs to be editable only by you. That requires an account. Viewing and reserving do not.
Is any personal data collected from visitors?
Only the name typed into the reservation form, plus a random token stored in that browser so the same visitor can cancel their own reservation. See the privacy page for the details.
Can I undo a reservation I made by mistake?
Yes, from the same browser you made it in. The undo control appears on the gift you reserved.
