Christmas Wishlist App
This Christmas, get ready to accept gifts that you actually want!
And no, we don’t mean the tacky gifts that well-meaning friends and family ‘think’ you need. We mean a season where every gift you receive is precisely what you want or need. You can return the favor by presenting them exactly what they want when the time comes. Get all that and more on Listery – your ultimate Christmas wish list app.
With Listery, you and your friends, family, or colleagues can give each other perfect gifts. Use this Christmas wish list maker to let your inner circle know what exactly you want this season.It’s easy to use and even easier to share!
How the Listery.app works
You can download the app from the AppStore and Google Play Market. It's completely free!
Wish lists for weddings, birthdays, housewarming, new year and other events. There is no limit to the number of lists and wishes.
Send a link to your Wishlist to your friends and family so they can give you something you really want.
Why Listery.app
Make a Christmas list your family will actually use
Listery is a free Christmas list maker for iPhone, Android and the web. Add gifts from any online store, keep a separate list for each person, and share it with one link. Relatives open the link in a browser, reserve the gift they plan to buy, and nobody ends up wrapping the same thing twice.
How to make a Christmas list in 3 steps
- Create a list. Open Listery and start a list called "Christmas 2026". It takes about a minute.
- Add your wishes. Paste a link from any store — Amazon, Target, Etsy, the bookshop around the corner — or add a photo and a short note like "the blue one" or "any book from this series". With the Listery extension for Chrome you can save an item straight from the product page.
- Share the link. Drop it into the family chat or send it by text. Your family doesn't need the app to see the list or reserve a gift: everything works in the browser.
What to put on a good Christmas list
- A mix of prices. A few things under $25 make it easy for cousins and coworkers. One or two bigger wishes give parents or a partner something to plan around.
- Links instead of hints. "A nice sweater" leads to guessing. A link to the exact sweater in the right color saves a return trip in January.
- Notes where details matter. Color, edition, "I already have the first book" — one line is enough.
- Around 8 to 15 items. Fewer, and people still guess. Many more, and the list stops being helpful.
One list for every person in the family
Make a separate list for yourself, your partner and each of the kids. When grandparents ask "what does he want this year?", you send the right link instead of typing out a list from memory. Lists stay in the app, so next year you can start from what worked.
No more duplicate gifts
When someone reserves an item, it's marked as taken for everyone else who opens the list. Two aunts won't buy the same board game, and you won't need a group chat to coordinate who's getting what. You, the list owner, never see who reserved what, so the surprise stays a surprise.
Using Listery for Secret Santa
Drawing names at work or with friends? Ask everyone to share their Listery wishlist in the group chat. Your Santa picks something from the list and reserves it. You won't see who did, so the secret part of Secret Santa stays secret. See how it works on our Secret Santa wishlist page, or browse Secret Santa gift ideas under $20.
