Gift Groups
Gift Groups are permanent communities for year-round wishlist sharing. Think of them as your inner circle — “Smith Family”, “College Friends”, or “Work Buddies”.
Members can share their wishlists with the group, and everyone can see upcoming birthdays and coordinate gift-giving throughout the year.
