How do reservations work?Friends reserve gifts on your wishlist so nobody gives the same gift twice. By default you can't see what's taken, and you can free one up.

How can someone mark that they will buy a gift?Open the shared wishlist, tap Reserve on the wish, and confirm. This marks the gift as taken so no one else picks it; you then buy it at the store.

Can I see what's reserved on my list?Your list hides reservations by default to keep the surprise. Tap **** reserved to see what's taken. Names show if friends had to sign in.

Can two people reserve the same gift?No. Reserving a wish locks it, so only one person can have it reserved at a time; it becomes available again only if that reservation is cancelled.

Can I see who reserved or bought a gift?Only if you choose to. By default reservations are hidden and anonymous; a name shows only if you reveal reservations and require registered users.

I reserved a gift by accident — how do I undo it?Open the wishlist where you reserved it and tap Cancel Reservation. That frees the item right away so someone else can reserve it instead.

Does reserving a gift mean I've bought it?No. Reserving just marks the gift as taken so no one else picks it. You still buy it yourself at the store; Wishpicks is not a shop.

How do I mark a wish as received?Got the gift? Mark the wish as fulfilled so everyone sees it's been received. Wishpicks can't tell by itself whether something was bought.
