## What is Wishlists & Gifts?

WishOwl is the wishlist app for birthdays, Christmas, weddings & baby showers. Save gift ideas from any link, share with friends, and run Secret Santa exchanges — no duplicates, no spoiled surprises.

CREATE & ORGANIZE WISHLISTS
Build wishlists for birthdays, Christmas, holidays, weddings, baby showers, or anytime. Add items instantly by pasting any product link — WishOwl automatically pulls the title, image, and price. Organize by priority so gift-givers know what matters most.

SAVE LINKS FROM ANY STORE
See something you want online? Save the link and WishOwl turns it into a wishlist item — title, image, and price filled in automatically. Works with Amazon, Etsy, Target, or any shop with a product page.

SHARE WITH FRIENDS & FAMILY
Share your wishlists with the people who matter. Friends see what you want, claim items to avoid duplicates, and keep it all a surprise — you never see who claimed what.

SMART GIFT COORDINATION
No more awkward "did someone already buy that?" moments. WishOwl tracks claims in real time so everyone stays coordinated. Multiple gift-givers, zero duplicates.

SECRET SANTA & GIFT EXCHANGES MADE EASY
Create Secret Santa events in seconds — perfect for offices, families, and friend groups. Add participants, set a budget, and WishOwl handles the random assignments. Each person sees only their match's wishlist, keeping the magic alive. Run White Elephant style gift exchanges or classic name draws — your call.
