Complete guide
What is a gift list website?
A gift list website is a page of your own, with its own address, where you gather the gifts you would like to receive. Instead of sending scattered messages about what you want, you share one link. Each guest opens the page, picks a gift and marks it as reserved, so no one buys the same thing twice.
On MyWishlist, your public list already is that website. When you create a list and share it, guests see a clean, organized page that works great on the phone, with a photo, a name and gifts sorted however you like. You do not need any technical skills or to hire anyone to build the page.
In this guide you will see the step by step to create your gift list website for free, how to make it your own, how to share it with guests and how to keep track of what has already been reserved.
Step by step to create your gift list website
Create your free account
Signing up for MyWishlist is free and takes less than a minute. All you need is an email and a password. Once you are in, you can create your first list, which becomes your gift website.
- Use an email you check often so you get reservation alerts
Add gifts from any store
Paste the product link from any store and the gift joins your list with a photo and a name. Build the list with a range of prices so every guest can find something within their budget.
- Mix affordable and pricier gifts to please everyone
- Add at least 10 items to give guests real choice
Make the page your own
Pick a cover photo, add a name and sort the gifts into categories. This personalization makes your website look great and shows guests the list is real and made with care.
- A good cover photo makes the page feel more polished
Share the link with your guests
Copy your website link and send it over messaging apps, social media or inside your invitation. Anyone who opens it sees the list right away, with no app to install and no account needed to give a gift.
- Add a QR code to a printed invitation pointing to the link
- Pin the link in the family group chat
Track reservations in real time
Every time someone reserves a gift, you see it in your dashboard. That way you know what is already taken and avoid duplicate gifts, all without spoiling the surprise.

Create the list ahead of time
Build the website a few weeks before the event. Guests get time to choose calmly and you can adjust anything that is missing.
Offer options for every budget
Include affordable and pricier gifts. Guests who want to spend less find something, and those who want to give more do too.
Make sharing easy
Keep the link easy to find: in the invitation, in your social bio and in the family chat. The more people see it, the more gifts you receive.
Follow up and say thanks
Check the reservations now and then and thank each guest. A simple thank you makes the experience more special for everyone.
