Gift ideas and wishlists
Save the idea the moment it hits you.
Someone mentions what they want, or you spot it mid-scroll. Save it into a list for them, and share the list so no one buys the same thing twice.
What it looks like
Three wishlists, each shared with the right people
Mom’s Birthday
Shared · 2 people- Ceramic mug set, the cream one
- The scarf she’s pinned twice
- Cast iron skillet, the one she mentioned
My Wishlist
Shared · 4 people- Weighted blanket, queen size
- That film camera from my feed
- Hiking boots, half size up
Baby Shower
Shared · 6 people- The bassinet from her registry
- Organic onesies, 0-3mo
- The stroller everyone recommends
How it works
How to keep a gift ideas list
- Make a list per person or occasion, like Mom’s Birthday or Holidays.
- Save ideas as you see them. Tap Share on a product page, an Instagram post or a TikTok, and choose OurStash.
- Note the details: who it’s for, size, color, price, or “she mentioned this in March”. Mark it Bought when it’s done.
- Share it with the right people. Invite family to a wishlist so everyone can see what’s on it and add ideas.
Wishlists, surprises and group gifts
The same list works three ways, depending on who you share it with:
- Ideas for someone else. Keep a private list for each person you buy for. Lists are private until you share them, so the surprise is safe.
- Your own wishlist. Save things you’d like, then share the list with family before birthdays and holidays. Choose Can view if you only want them to look.
- Group gifts. Share one list with everyone chipping in. Claim what you’ll buy so no one doubles up. Claims are a surprise by default, so the person it’s for never sees them; switch the list to open claims if you want everyone to see.
- Showers and weddings. Collect links from registries, shops and posts in one place, and share it with the guests who ask.
Questions, answered
Can I make a wishlist and share it with family?
Yes. Share the list with an invite link. Choose Can view so they can look, or Can add posts so they can add ideas too.
Will the person I’m buying for see my gift ideas?
Not unless you share the list with them. Lists are private until you share them.
Can I save from any online shop?
Yes, from any web page you can share from Safari or the shop’s app, and from Instagram, TikTok, YouTube and Facebook posts.
Does OurStash track prices or buy things?
No. It saves the link and your note, and shows the shop and the price listed on the page when it can. It doesn’t watch prices or sell anything. Open a post and tap Open Site to check the current price.
Will the person the list is for see who claimed what?
Not by default. Claims are a surprise unless the list owner switches the list to open claims, and everyone in the list can see which mode it’s in.
Is the gift list free?
Yes. Gift lists, claims, reactions and comments are free. Reminders need OurStash Plus.
