The Christmas list that keeps the surprise.

How it works

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

  1. Step 1

    Make your list

    Pick Christmas as the occasion, give it a title, set the date. You get two links: a private one to edit, a public one to share.

    one link to edit, one to share
  2. Step 2

    Add gifts from any shop

    Paste links from anywhere. Call Dibs pulls the title, price and photo automatically, and you can fix anything with a click.

  3. Step 3

    Share it with the family

    In the group chat, by email, however you do Christmas. They tap once to call dibs. No accounts, no app.

and nobody spoils it

Nothing spoiled before the big day

Reservations are hidden from you by design: Call Dibs shows you your list, never who claimed what. The only spoiler risk left is somebody talking.

  • A list for everyone

    Kids' lists, your list, grandma's list: each takes seconds to make and they all share the same way. Any shop counts, not one store's catalogue.

  • No duplicate presents

    The moment someone calls dibs, that gift is marked taken for everyone else. Two relatives can't turn up with the same air fryer.

  • The surprise survives

    You never see who reserved what. Christmas morning stays a proper surprise, exactly as it should be.

good questions

Questions, answered

Is Call Dibs free?
Yes. Making lists, sharing them and calling dibs are all free. Some shop links earn us a small commission from the shop, never from you.
Do my family need accounts?
No. They open your link and tap to call dibs, that's the whole flow. You don't need an account either; leave your email when you create the list and we send you your private edit link.
Can I make lists for the kids?
Make as many as you like: one per child, one for you, one for the household. Each list gets its own share link.
Isn't it early to start a Christmas list?
It's never too early. Lists started in autumn have the calmest Decembers: family shop the sales, nothing clashes, and nobody is hinting on the 23rd.
Does it work with UK shops?
Perfectly. Call Dibs is made in the UK and works with any shop that has product pages: Amazon.co.uk, John Lewis, Etsy sellers and the independents. Prices are in pounds, and guests buy directly from the shop.
