Free wishlist maker

Make a wishlist online: type what you'd love, with a link or a price if you have one. Save it to Wishes for free and share one link. Friends book what they're giving, so gifts don't double up.

Until you save, your wishlist stays in this browser tab and is sent nowhere. Saving asks for a free Apple or Google sign-in.

How to make a wishlist online

  1. Type your wishes

    Give the wishlist a name and add one wish per row: what it is, a link if you have one, and a price or a note. No account needed to start.

  2. Save it to Wishes

    Sign in with Apple or Google, pick a look for the wishlist, and every wish you typed is added to it. Saving is free.

  3. Share one link

    Send the link in a message or an email. Anyone can open it without an account, and when someone books a gift, everyone else sees it is taken.

What makes a good wishlist

  • Name the exact thing

    The brand, the model, the edition. “Headphones” gets you someone else's idea of headphones.

  • Add a link

    A store link saves the giver a search and gets you the right version, not the one next to it. Any store works.

  • Write the size and color

    Sizes differ between brands, so write the one that fits you in that store, and the color you would actually use.

  • Spread the prices

    Mix small things with a few bigger ones, so everyone who shops for you finds something that fits their budget.

A wishlist template for any occasion

The rows above are the whole template: a name for the wishlist, then each wish with a link and a note. It works the same for a birthday, Christmas, a new home or no occasion at all, and a wishlist for a child is made the same way. Use it for a family wishlist, or keep adding to yours all year.

Making it for a particular day? See the birthday wishlist and Christmas wishlist pages. Want one on paper? The printable Christmas wishlist template prints it on one clean page.

Questions and answers

Is this wishlist maker free?

Yes. Typing your wishlist here is free with no account. Saving it makes a wishlist on Wishes, and your first three are free.

Do I need an account?

Not to type your wishlist. To save and share it, you sign in with Apple or Google. The people you share it with open it without an account; booking a gift asks them for a free sign-in.

What happens to what I type before I save?

It stays in this browser tab, so a reload doesn't lose it, and it is sent nowhere. When you save, the name and the wishes go to Wishes to make your wishlist. Clear removes them.

How does it stop people buying the same gift?

Friends and family book the gift they are going to give. Everyone else who opens the link sees it is taken, so nobody buys it twice.

Will I see who booked a gift?

No. You see that a gift on your wishlist is booked, so you know it is covered, but no Wishes app or page shows who booked it. The surprise stays a surprise.

Can I add gifts from any store?

Yes. Paste a link from any online store next to the wish. Anything that isn't a web link, like the name of a shop, is kept as a note on the wish.

Can I change the wishlist after I save it?

Yes. Add, edit and remove wishes in Wishes on iPhone, Android or the web, and the link you shared shows the wishlist as it is now.

Wishes is on iPhone and Android as well as the web: sign in there with the same Apple or Google account and the wishlist you make here is in the app.
