Holiday Registry

Christmas 2026

Everyone gets what they wanted.
Nobody finds out how.

A private gift list for your family. Everyone adds what they’d like, anyone can claim something to buy, and the person the list belongs to never sees a thing. Not a count, not a hint, not an email.

Free. No app to download. Grandparents don’t need a password.

The surprise is the whole point, so we built the product around it.

Most shared lists leak. Someone sees a strikethrough, a notification arrives at the wrong moment, or the person organising it can see everything by virtue of being the organiser.

Here, a list owner simply cannot be shown claim information — it is excluded at the database layer, not hidden in the interface. The person who created the family is subject to exactly the same rule on their own list. There is no admin view, no export, and no support ticket that gets around it.

Who it’s for

The one who organises Christmas

Set up the family once, invite everyone by email, and make profiles for the kids. Then watch the lists fill in instead of chasing people in a group text. You get nudge tools and a plain view of who has started — and no special sight of what anyone claimed, including on your own list.

Everyone else in the family

Open the email, see the family, paste a few links. Product photos, titles, and prices fill themselves in. Belong to your own family and your in-laws’ at the same time — your list follows you, so two sides of the family cannot buy the same thing twice.

The grandparent who will not make an account

Tap the link in the email. That is the entire setup. See the lists, claim what you want to buy, done. No password, ever, unless you decide you want one.

Still deciding what to get?

Our gift guides are written by people who actually had to solve the problem — a nine-year-old who has every Lego set, a father-in-law who says he wants nothing.
