Giftster - Wish List Registry 17+

Where Wish Lists Come True!

Giftster has completely transformed how my family and friends do gifts! This was our first year using it, and it took all the stress out of finding the perfect presents. No more guessing games! I love how simple it is to add items from any website (though Etsy can be a bit finicky sometimes). The interface is super user-friendly, and the fact that you can't see what's been purchased from your own list keeps the surprise alive – it's so much fun!

My only suggestion for improvement would be to increase visibility on child accounts. Since my kids' lists are under my main account, I can't see if another family member or friend has already bought something. A simple toggle setting for parents to see this information would be fantastic! (Of course, this isn't a problem if your child manages their own account).

Despite this minor quirk, I wholeheartedly recommend Giftster to anyone who wants to simplify and improve their holiday shopping. It's been a game-changer, and we can't wait to use it for years to come!

Put your kids lists as child account lists in your account next time then you can view item status on Shop For just as you are wishing. That is designed to address your request. Thanks for the love!

Good app for gifting. Needs some improvement though.

My family has been using this app for a number of years for birthdays and Christmas. The user interface has not been visually updated after all these years and really needs to be as it is a bit bland looking and still has usability glitches that have existed since its launch. Scrolling is frequently glitchy and jerky, for example. The colors need a bit more vibrancy. It’s sort of drab looking. However, we’ve got it to do what it was made to do.

We need to be able to add images that reside on our phones as another example. I have tried many times to get an image for a product but have to use the web site link and the app most times never finds the image or finds the incorrect image. So much simpler to just add an image.

As I said, good app, but some visual and usability improvements needed. I want to give it a 5 so please do improvements. I have been tasked by my family to find another app to replace this aging app. <<sad face>>

Glad Giftster is serving your family well. Did you know since you wrote this review we have replaced it with a brand new app that addresses every one of your wishes.

Love this app!

I love this app! It’s awesome to use year round for birthdays and holidays! It helps me keep track of things I eventually want to get so I keep a personal list just for me on here too. We have been using it for over 5yrs now for both sides of our families. They are quick to respond and always answer my questions. The only small thing that drives me nuts is with secret Santa it seems like if I get one person one year the next year my spouse gets the same person. But there are ways around it by choosing the add draw exclusions option. The other small thing is you can’t suggest items for people if they just create their profile but haven’t created a list yet. We have a few elderly folks that don’t always want to put stuff on their list so they just create a profile so we can do the draw but if they don’t create a list we can’t suggest gifts for those that got that person. Other than that the app is awesome! ❤️ love ❤️ love it!
