Gift Rooms

A Gift Room is a private collaborative space where a group of friends can plan a gift together for someone. Members can view the recipient's wishlist, chat in real time, propose and vote on gift ideas, reserve items, split costs, and coordinate — all without the recipient knowing. The Free plan includes 1 Gift Room; Premium and Family plans unlock unlimited rooms.

Go to the "Gift Rooms" tab and tap "Create Room". Give the room a name, select the gift recipient (pick a contact or enter a custom name), optionally set the event date, and invite members by sharing the room link. You can link the room to the recipient's wishlist so members can browse and reserve directly.

When creating or viewing a room, tap the invite button to generate a join link. Share it with friends via WhatsApp, Telegram, or by copying the link. They'll need a WishlyBox account to join. There's no limit on the number of members in a room.

Inside a room, you can view the recipient's shared wishlist. Tap "Reserve" on any item to claim it — this prevents other room members from buying the same thing. You can have up to 5 active reservations per wishlist owner across all rooms. Reservations expire after 14 days if not marked as bought. The recipient never sees who reserved what.

Yes. Open the reserved item and tap "Cancel Reservation". After cancelling, there's a 60-minute cooldown before you can reserve the same item again — this prevents reservation abuse. The item becomes immediately available for other people to reserve.

Each Gift Room has a built-in group chat where members can discuss gift options, share links and photos, and coordinate plans. You can reply to specific messages, edit or delete your own messages, and react with emoji. Unread message badges appear on the Gift Rooms tab icon. The chat is fully private — only room members can see it.

The "Gift Ideas" tab lets members propose custom gift suggestions beyond the recipient's wishlist. Add a title, description, link, and estimated price. Members can vote on ideas (thumbs up/down) to help the group decide. One idea can be marked as the collective choice, signaling what the group has agreed on.

When a gift has a price, the total is shown automatically. Members can mark themselves as "chipped in" and enter the amount they contributed. The room tracks who has paid and the total collected so far, making it easy to see how much is left. This is a coordination tool — actual money transfer happens outside the app.

Yes. Once the gift has been given, you can archive the room. Archived rooms become read-only — you can still view the chat history, decisions, and who contributed, but no new messages or changes are allowed. You can find archived rooms in the "Archived" section of the Gift Rooms tab.
