The family version.
Everyone makes a list.
The winter coat, the board game, the thing they mentioned in October. Paste links from any shop; each person keeps their own list.
Share them in the family chat.
One link each. Parents, siblings, the grandparents on the iPad: everyone opens the lists in the browser, straight from the message.
Reserve quietly.
A tap marks a gift as taken for every other giver, so two households never wrap the same thing. The list's owner sees none of it.
The family can see it. The internet can't.
Share your list to your Close Circle and it stays between the people you chose. No public page, no search results, no feed. Grandparents open the link in the browser: no app store visit, and no account needed to look.
Doing the children's lists as well?
Run a list for each child from your own account. Family reserves from it, nothing is spoiled, and the presents stay secret until the day.
Christmas questions.
Can grandparents actually use it?
If they can open a link, yes. The list opens in the browser on any phone, tablet or computer, straight from the message. No app store visit, and no account needed to look.
One list for the whole family, or one each?
One each works best. Every person shares their own list in the same chat, and you open the one you're buying for.
Will people see what I got them?
No. Your own list never shows you reservations unless you switch that on. What you buy for others stays with you.
We do Secret Santa. Does Yovolo run the draw?
No, there's no draw feature. People do share their lists with the Secret Santa group first though, so whoever you drew is easy to buy for.
