Gifts and wishlists

Gifts and wishlists keep the surprise a surprise. Everyone keeps a list of what they would like, and the people planning gifts can do it in the open without giving anything away.

Open Gifts and add a wish: a name, a link, a price, a priority (low, normal or high) and notes like the size or the color. Kids can keep a wishlist too. When a wish arrives, mark it received.

Looking at someone else’s wishlist, tap I’ll get this on the one you plan to buy. Everyone else can see it is taken, so nobody buys the same thing twice.

• The wisher never sees who claimed what. Not on their list, not in search, not in an export and not in the Brain.
• Only the person who claimed a wish can unclaim it.
• You cannot claim a wish on your own list.

Plan gifts for birthdays, holidays or anyone at all, in the household or not, like Grandma. Each idea can have an occasion and a date, a budget, a price, a store and a link, and it moves along from idea to bought, wrapped and given.

A gift idea is hidden from the person it is for. You can hide it from other people too. A hidden gift is never sent to them: it does not show in their search, their calendar feed, their email digest, the activity timeline, their export or the Brain.

When you mark a gift bought, you can record what it cost as an expense in the Gifts category, if your plan includes Money. That expense is hidden from the same people as the gift.

When someone’s birthday is three weeks away and they have wishes on their list, the Brain can point it out to everyone else. The person with the birthday never sees it.

Owners, adults, teens and children can keep wishlists and plan gifts. By default, caregivers and guests do not see Gifts at all.

Ask “Gift ideas for Nora” or “What does Theo want?”. The Brain answers from wishlists and gift ideas, never shows you a gift that is hidden from you, and never tells a wisher who claimed their wishes.

Gifts and wishlists are on every plan, including Free.
