Adding Gift Details

When you claim a gift, you can add giver details to show other coordinators exactly what you’re buying. This is especially helpful for generic wishlist items where there are many possible products to choose from.

Gift details are the specific product information you add after claiming a gift. They help other givers:

  • See exactly which product you’re buying
  • Avoid getting something too similar
  • Coordinate on color, size, or style variations

For example, if someone’s wishlist says “Cozy blanket,” you might add details showing you’re getting the navy blue Barefoot Dreams throw from Nordstrom.

Gift details are most useful for:

Wishlist ItemWhy Details Help
Generic requests”Books by this author” — show which book you’re getting
Category items”Art supplies” — show the specific kit you chose
Flexible gifts”Something for the kitchen” — show the exact item
Size/color matters”Running shoes” — show the color you picked

When you claim a gift that doesn’t have a specific product URL, Giverr prompts you to add details:

  1. Claim the gift as usual
  2. A dialog appears: “How are you fulfilling this gift?”
  3. Choose Single Item for one product
  4. Add the product details:
    • Product URL — Paste the link to the actual product you’re buying
    • Product Name — Auto-filled from the URL (or enter manually)
    • Image — Auto-fetched from the URL
    • Price — The actual price you’re paying
    • Notes — Color, size, or other details
  5. Click Save

Already added details but need to update them?

  1. Find the gift on the wishlist or in your shopping list
  2. Look for your claim overlay (shows “Claimed by you”)
  3. Click the pencil icon to edit
  4. Update the product URL, name, price, or notes
  5. Save your changes

When you add gift details, other givers viewing that wishlist see:

  • Your product image instead of the generic wishlist image
  • Your product name instead of the generic wishlist title
  • Your price so they know the value
  • A badge indicating product details have been added

This replaces the generic wishlist view with your specific product, helping everyone coordinate.

Let’s say Uncle Bob has “Stephen King novels” on his wishlist, and you want to claim it:

  1. Open Uncle Bob’s wishlist
  2. Click Claim Gift on “Stephen King novels”
  3. Giverr asks how you’re fulfilling this gift
  4. Choose Single Item
  5. Paste the Amazon link for “Holly” by Stephen King
  6. Giverr auto-fills:
    • Title: “Holly: A Novel”
    • Image: Book cover
    • Price: $18.99
  7. Add a note: “Hardcover edition”
  8. Save the details

Now Aunt Mary, also shopping for Uncle Bob, sees that you’re getting “Holly” and can choose a different Stephen King book for her gift.

  • Add details early — Don’t wait until you’ve purchased; add them when you claim
  • Use the product URL — Giverr extracts images and prices automatically
  • Be specific in notes — Include size, color, edition, or other variations
  • Update if plans change — Edit your details if you switch products
