Wishdea is a wishlist that spares everyone the awkwardness. You write down what you actually want. The people who love you see the list, reserve a gift, and know for certain nobody else is buying the same thing. WHAT YOU CAN DO β’ Build your wishlist - name, price or price range, a link to the shop, and a description where you spell out the colour, size or exact model. β’ Add variants to a single wish, like "black" and "size M", so nobody has to guess. β’ Set a priority: I really want this, would be nice, maybe someday. Your people see what matters most at a glance. β’ Reorder wishes by dragging a card. SHARING β’ Send the link to whoever you like - text message, chat app, however you prefer. β’ A public list is visible to anyone holding the link. β’ A private list needs a passcode that you pass along with the link. Useful for weddings and birthdays, when the list is not meant to travel the internet. SPOILER-FREE RESERVATIONS β’ A guest reserves a gift with one tap. β’ The list owner never sees reservations - the surprise stays a surprise. β’ Other guests do see what is taken, so nobody buys the same gift twice. β’ A reservation can be cancelled at any time. FOLLOWING THE PEOPLE YOU CARE ABOUT β’ Find friends by email address or name and follow their lists. β’ Every list you follow sits in one place - birthdays, holidays, weddings. β’ Invite someone who has no account yet. Once they sign up, their list shows up for you automatically. β’ The owner of a private list decides who gets in. GOOD FOR Birthdays, name days, Christmas, Secret Santa, weddings, first communions, baby showers, housewarmings - anywhere someone asks "what should I get you?" and you have no idea what to say. Available in English, Polish, German, French and Ukrainian. You can delete your account, and all the data with it, from inside the app at any time.
