What gift items can I add to my wish list?

You can add any type of gift from any shop to your wishlist. The Wishbob wishlist is completely store-independent, making it a universal and flexible solution for all your gift ideas.

  • Products and gift cards from any online shop can be added to your wishlist with a single click - fully flexible and without being tied to any specific retailer.

Can my friends and family reserve wishes on my wishlist?

Yes, your friends and family can reserve gifts. After opening the link to your wishlist, they can browse it without creating an account. If they find a gift they want to give you, they can simply mark the item as purchased. To avoid duplicate presents, they are reminded to confirm the gift once it has been bought.

Can I see which gifts have been reserved — and who reserved them?

Through the “View flagged wishes” button in your wishlist, you can see at any time which gift ideas have already been marked as purchased by friends or family. If you’ve enabled the option for gift-givers to enter their names, you can also see who has reserved which gift.

How can I manage multiple wish lists?

If you have created multiple wish lists under one e-mail address, you can manage them using the „Wish list overview“ under "My Wishbob" .

To do this, you must confirm your e-mail address once in the wish list overview on each device (e.g. PC, smartphone, tablet) that you want to use. You can also use a social login if you have created your wish list with a corresponding e-mail address.

The "My wish lists" tab only shows wish lists that you have created with the same e-mail address.

Have you sorted your wishes by importance, price, or similar criteria? Before you can rearrange them, the sorting will be reset to "Default."

Can I edit or delete wishes on the wish list?

Can I move wishes between different wish lists?
