How it works

Three steps, about two minutes. Nothing for your guests to install or sign up for.

  1. Step 1

    Paste a link

    Anything from any shop: a handmade find, a little independent, a big store. It all sits in one list.

  3. Step 3

    Guests call dibs

    One tap reserves a gift. Everyone else sees it is taken, and you see nothing until the day.

Everyone's Christmas lists, on one page

Start a Circle and send one invite. Everyone adds their list, and you call dibs on gifts for all of them in one place. No more guessing or chasing links in the group chat, and everyone opens something they actually wanted.

  • Your own list stays a surprise

    You see everyone else's dibs, never the ones on your gifts.

  • Lists for the kids too

    Keep a list for someone who can't, and see what's been picked so nothing doubles up.

  • Ready again next year

    Carry the Circle over, and bring along any gifts nobody got to.

Secret Santa, with wishlists

Send one link to the office, the family or the group chat. When everyone's in, draw the names, and each Santa opens their match with that person's wishlist. Nobody sees who has whom, not even the organiser.

  • Couples kept apart
  • Join with just a name
  • Drop-outs handled

The real draw does everyone at once, can keep couples apart, and nobody gets themselves.

optional, always free

Make an account if you want the extra bits

On the website you can build a whole list without one. An account keeps everything in one place, and you'll need one for the iPhone and Android apps.

  • Friends' lists, saved

    Keep the lists you're buying from one tap away.

  • Edit links that never go stale

    Your lists are tied to you, not a link.

  • Browser extension

    Add gifts while you're already shopping.
