What is Wishpicks and how does it work?

Wishpicks is a wishlist for real products at real prices. You save what you'd love, share the link, and people reserve gifts so nobody doubles up.

Wishpicks is a wishlist for real products at real prices. You save what you'd love in one place, share it, and the people gifting to you reserve what they plan to buy so nobody doubles up.

It isn't a shop. Wishpicks holds your gift ideas and links out to the stores that sell them, so the buying and the money happen there. See "Does Wishpicks sell products?".

Steps

  1. Create a wishlist for any occasion. A birthday, a wedding, or just things you want.

  2. Add wishes whichever way is easiest:

    • Type what you're looking for and Wishpicks finds matching products from real stores in your region.

    • Paste a product link, or several at once, and Wishpicks fills in the name, image, and price from the page.

    • Drop in a photo and Wishpicks suggests a name and description.

  3. Share the list with a link or by email. Friends and family open it without an account.

  4. They reserve the gifts they plan to give. By default this stays a surprise, so you don't see what's been taken unless you choose to look.

  5. They buy at the store your wish links to.

Good to know

Prices and stock come from the store. You're seeing the price we last checked, for your region, in each store's own currency, so confirm at the store before buying. See "How to add a wish to your wishlist".

Tag a wishlist with an occasion (a birthday, a wedding, a new baby) and Wishpicks builds gift suggestions around it. See "Can I make a registry for a wedding, baby shower, or birthday?".

A photo only suggests a name and description. It never fills in a price or a buy link, and it never overwrites what you've typed. Images can be up to 5 MB.

"Wished by N people" counts how many different people have added a product to a wishlist. It's a real count, not likes.

Everything above is free. The only paid extra is Wishpicks Plus, which adds price tracking.

Reserving isn't buying. It just tells other guests that this one's taken, and whoever reserved still has to buy it. See "How does gift reservation work?".

There's no address field on a wishlist, so sort out delivery privately with whoever is gifting. See "Do I need to add my address to my wishlist?".

To make your first one, see "How to create your first wishlist".
