Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about creating wishlists, organizing gift exchanges, and making gifting easier.
Yes! GiftHub is completely free with no hidden fees or premium tiers. Create unlimited wishlists, organize unlimited Secret Santa events, and add unlimited items from any store. We earn a small commission from Amazon affiliate links (at no cost to you), which keeps GiftHub free forever.
Absolutely! Add items from Amazon, Target, Walmart, Etsy, or any online store you love. Just copy and paste the product URL. Mix and match items from different stores on the same wishlist—no restrictions!
Nope! Anyone with your wishlist link can view and browse your items without creating an account. They only need to sign up (free and quick) if they want to reserve an item to prevent duplicate gifts. We keep it simple for everyone.
Click "Reserve" on any item to mark it as claimed. Other gift-givers see it's reserved and won't buy duplicates. As the wishlist owner, you choose whether or not to see reserved items when you create your list—so you can keep gifts a surprise or stay in the loop. Your choice!

Yes! Create groups within your exchange. People in the same group won't be assigned to each other—perfect for preventing spouses, siblings, or roommates from drawing each other. Set it up once and the shuffle does the rest!
Yes! Every wishlist is private by default—only people with your specific link can view it. You can change settings to public if you want (great for wedding registries where guests can easily find you), but your wishlists are never searchable or published without your permission.
GiftHub never displays your shipping address—we protect your privacy automatically. When someone buys you a gift, they purchase directly from the retailer's website and enter the shipping address during checkout there, not through GiftHub. We don't store addresses or payment information at all.
We collect your email, name, and password to create your account. Optionally, you can add a profile photo or birthday. We don't collect credit cards, shipping addresses, phone numbers, or location data. Your information is never sold to third parties, and you can delete your account anytime with one click.
Absolutely! Create multiple wishlists under your account for kids, family members, or different occasions. Perfect for managing your children's birthday lists, baby registries, or family events. Each wishlist has its own shareable link, and you control them all from one account. Grandparents love this!
Any gift-giving occasion you can think of! Birthdays, Christmas, Hanukkah, weddings, baby showers, graduations, Secret Santa exchanges, housewarming parties, anniversaries, or ongoing "stuff I want eventually" lists. Create unlimited wishlists for any event—special or everyday.
Yes! Add collaborators by email so multiple people can manage one wishlist together. Perfect for couples creating wedding registries, roommates coordinating household needs, or parents managing kids' lists together. You stay in control and can remove collaborators anytime.
