A free online Christmas list you can share
A Christmas wishlist maker helps you move from scattered text messages to one list you can keep updating. You don't need to install an app: Zamilist works in your browser. Anyone with your link can view your gift ideas without creating an account.
Add useful details such as color, size, model, approximate price and a store link. You can update the wishlist later, while family and friends keep using the same shared link.

How to make a Christmas wishlist in four steps
- Open the free gift-list creator. Use your free account and name your list, such as “Christmas 2026”.
- Add gift ideas. Enter a name, optional price or HTTPS link. “Fill in from the link” may retrieve the product name, photo and price when the retailer allows it. You can always enter details manually.
- Share one link. Send it to family and friends by text or email. They won't need an app to browse it.
- Let guests coordinate gifts. Guests who want to check or make reservations sign in with their own free, email-verified account.
How can you avoid duplicate Christmas gifts?
Signed-in guests can see which items have already been reserved and choose an available gift. The wishlist creator cannot see which gifts have been reserved or who reserved them. Reservation information isn't shown to signed-out visitors, helping keep gift choices hidden even if the creator opens the link in a private browser window.
Reservations reduce the risk of duplicate presents, but cannot prevent purchases made outside the list. Read our guide to gift wishlists without duplicates for more details.
Quick checklist before sending your Christmas list
- Use specific gift names and model details.
- Include important colors, sizes and editions.
- Check store links; prices and availability can change.
- Offer ideas across several budgets.
- Make sure you're sharing the correct wishlist link.
Christmas wishlist FAQs
Is making a Christmas wishlist free?
Yes. Creating, sharing and reserving gifts don't require a Zamilist Plus subscription.
Do my family and friends need an account?
Not to view your shared wishlist. To see reservations or reserve a gift, they need a free account with a verified email address.
Can I find out who reserved my gifts?
No. The creator's view hides gift reservations and the identities of people who reserved gifts.
Is my Christmas wishlist private?
Anyone with the link can view the gift ideas. It's the gift reservations that are hidden from the wishlist creator; the list itself isn't password protected.
Can I add items from any online store?
You can paste a product link and try to import its details. Some shops block automatic lookup, so manual entry remains available.
