Wishlists
How do I create a new wish?
Go to the "My WishlyBox" tab and tap the "+" button. Fill in the wish name (required), and optionally add a description, a link to a product page, a price, a priority level (Low, Medium, or High), and photos (each up to 5 MB, formats: JPG, PNG, WebP — GIFs and small files under 200 KB are kept as-is, larger images are resized automatically). Choose who can see the wish from four visibility options, then save.
What visibility options are available for my wishes?
Each wish can be set to one of four levels: • Private — only you can see it. • All Friends — visible to every connected friend. • Selected — you pick exactly which friends can see it. • Contact Group — visible to everyone in a chosen contact group (e.g. Family, Colleagues). The default for new wishes is "All Friends". You can change visibility at any time by editing the wish.
How do gift reservations work?
When someone views your shared wishlist (via a link or as a connected friend), they can reserve items they plan to buy. Reservations are completely hidden from you — you won't see who reserved what, how many are taken, or any status indicator. Reservations expire automatically after 14 days if not marked as bought, freeing the item for others. After cancelling a reservation, there's a 60-minute cooldown before the same person can reserve that item again.
Can the wishlist owner see what's been reserved?
By default, no — reservations are hidden from the wishlist owner so the gift stays a surprise. You won't see any status, counts, or names. On the Premium or Family plan, you can optionally turn on reservation visibility (Settings → Reservations) to see which of your wishes have been reserved — but who reserved them is never shown.
How do I set priority for a wish?
When creating or editing a wish, tap the priority selector and choose Low, Medium, or High. High-priority wishes appear at the top of your list, making it easy for friends to see what you want most. Priority is visible to anyone who can see the wish.
Can I add photos to my wishes?
Yes! When creating or editing a wish, tap the image upload area to add photos. You can upload multiple images (each up to 5 MB). Supported formats are JPG, PNG, and WebP. Large images are automatically resized to fit (max 1200 px on the longest side). GIFs and files under 200 KB are kept at original quality.
What are "Forbidden Gifts"?
Forbidden gifts are items you explicitly do NOT want to receive. Go to the "Forbidden" tab in My WishlyBox to select from 16 predefined categories: Alcohol, Tobacco, Perfume, Sweets, Flowers, Animals, Cosmetics, Jewelry, Clothes, Electronics, Books, Candles, Socks, Kitchenware, Toys, and Sports equipment. You can also add custom entries with notes explaining why. Friends see your forbidden list when viewing your wishlist, helping them avoid unwanted gifts.
How do I mark a wish as received?
Open the wish and tap "Mark as Received". You can record who gave it to you, the date you received it, and add a star rating (1–5). The wish moves to your "Received" tab. This also automatically releases any reservation someone had on the item.
Can I search and filter my wishes?
Yes. Use the search bar at the top of your wishlist to find specific wishes by name. You can switch between three tabs: Current (active wishes you still want), Received (gifts you've gotten), and Forbidden (things you don't want). Within the Current tab, wishes are sorted by priority (High first) and can be reordered.
