Is there a Christmas Wish List App that you use to share with Family/Friends?

Nov 30, 2012 3:39 PM

Last year I setup an account and group with http://www.christmaswishlist.net/.

It worked really well.
Basically, you have one person create a group, and then each person that you want to join you send an e-mail that contains the group ID and code or whatever.
Each person gets to go to the website and add the items that they want to receive, and you can include links and notes about the item as well.

Other members of the group can review what you've put in your list and then can check it off as purchased. All members then get to see what's been purchased EXCEPT for that individual who's list it's on.
So, for instance, if my Dad buys something off my list, my mom and siblings see that it's purchased, but I do not.

It works well, but I'd rather have an app that can do this or something very similar to it.
I've looked around, but haven't found anything that seems to meet what I need.
Here's another wrench to throw in...can we find something that's compatible with Android, BB and Apple?

@jrpigman: Yea, that wouldn't be too bad...not necessarily exactly what I'm looking for as each person would have to create their own wish list and I'd have to pull each one in separately (not a huge deal though, I guess).
It would also show the individual when an item was purchased...takes some of the surprise away from Christmas I think...
Thanks.

No problem! It actually does do what you're asking -- If someone buys me a gift, for example, the item shows up when I look at my wishlist. It won't show up to anyone who isn't logged in as me, though. If you buy an item not from amazon, you can click the "I bought this somewhere else" button and achieve the same effect.

You can cheat and see what people bought you, though: http://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html/ref=hp_897204_alreadybought?nodeId=501092

Not a farewell, just a forced redirect.

It's true, Local.Woot is no longer, but please don't despair.

Never-ending savings are still to be found on Deals.Woot each and every day, so come on in. Don't think of it as a time for tears. Think of it as a way to bring us all closer together under one roof.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
