How to make a wishlist private

Open the wishlist's visibility settings and switch it to Invite only — then only you and the people you invite by email can see it.

Written by Wishpicks

Open the wishlist's Share settings and switch its visibility to Invite only. From then on, only you and the people you invite can open it. Everyone else lands on a "No Access" page.

Steps

  1. Open the wishlist you want to make private.

  2. Go to its settings and open the Share tab.

  3. Set the visibility to Invite only.

  4. Save.

Good to know

Once a list is Invite only, a plain link stops working for other people. To let one specific person in, invite them by email. See "How to share a private wishlist".

New wishlists are Anyone with the link by default, so nothing is private until you change this setting.

Making a list private doesn't change who can edit it. Editing is handled separately, through email invites and access levels (Owner, Full Access, Contributor, Viewer). You don't have to make a wishlist private to add collaborators, and a public list can perfectly well have people helping manage it.
