Share via Link
Every WantThis list has a unique shareable link. Copy it and paste it anywhere — a text message, a social media post, a wedding website, or a group chat. Anyone with the link can view your list instantly without downloading an app or signing up.
Share via WhatsApp
Tap the WhatsApp share button and your list link is sent directly to a contact or group chat. This is the most popular way to share gift lists with family — drop it in the family group chat and everyone sees it at once.
Share via Email
Send your list link by email for relatives, work colleagues, or anyone who prefers email over messaging apps. The email includes a preview of your list so recipients know exactly what they are clicking through to.
Share via QR Code
Generate a QR code for your list that can be printed on invitations, cards, or posters. This is especially popular for wedding gift lists and baby shower registries, where a physical invitation is sent out.
Privacy Controls That Keep Surprises Safe
The whole point of a gift list is that other people buy you presents you actually want. But you do not want to know what is coming — that ruins the surprise. WantThis is designed from the ground up to protect the element of surprise while giving gift buyers the information they need.
Hidden Reservations
When someone reserves a gift on your list, you never see it. The reservation is only visible to other potential gift buyers, so they know to pick something different. This prevents duplicates while keeping every gift a genuine surprise.
Private by Default
Your lists are only accessible to people who have the link. They do not appear in search engines, public directories, or on any public profile. You control exactly who sees your list by choosing who to share the link with.
No Buyer Information Exposed
When a guest reserves or buys a gift, their identity is not shared with the list owner. You will not know who bought what until you open the present. Other buyers can see that an item is reserved, but not by whom.
Revoke Access Anytime
Changed your mind about sharing? Regenerate your list link and the old one stops working immediately. Anyone with the previous link will no longer be able to access your list.
For Gift Buyers: A Simple Experience
When someone shares their WantThis list with you, the experience is designed to be as straightforward as possible. Here is what to expect as a gift buyer:
Browse the List
Click the shared link and you see the full gift list with item names, images, prices, and which retailer stocks each item. Items that have already been reserved by someone else are clearly marked so you do not waste time on them.
Reserve a Gift
Found something you want to buy? Tap “Reserve” to claim it. This tells other buyers that item is taken, but the list owner never sees the reservation. Nobody ends up buying the same thing.
Buy from the Retailer
Click through to the retailer's website to complete the purchase at the current price. WantThis does not process payments — you buy directly from the shop, so you get all the normal protections and delivery options.
Mark as Purchased
After buying, mark the item as purchased on the list. This updates the status for other potential buyers so they know it has been sorted. The list owner still cannot see any of this — the surprise is safe.
No Account Needed to View or Buy
One of the biggest frustrations with other gift list platforms is forcing every visitor to create an account. WantThis takes a different approach: anyone with your list link can browse and buy without signing up.
This matters because the people you share your list with — grandparents, older relatives, busy colleagues — may not want to create yet another online account. With WantThis, the barrier is zero. Click the link, see the list, pick a gift, buy it.
Guests who want to reserve items or mark gifts as purchased can do so with a simple email verification step. No password to remember, no profile to fill out, no app to download. The experience is designed to be as frictionless as possible for the people buying gifts.
Why This Matters
Every extra step in the buying process is a chance for someone to give up and just buy a generic gift card instead. By removing the account requirement, WantThis ensures more of your carefully chosen items actually get bought by the people you share your list with.
