How to make an online Christmas list

Why make a Christmas list online?

If you’re wondering how to make a Christmas wishlist, you’ll usually have two options: use pen and paper or make an online Christmas list.

Although traditional pen-and-paper Christmas lists got us by for many years, they didn’t exactly make life easy. Crossings out and spelling mistakes were just a couple of bugbears. Plus there was the issue of how to share it with more than one person – if you hadn’t lost your list already, of course!

Creating a Christmas wishlist online is a whole lot quicker and sharing it round your friends and family is so much easier. Just some of the benefits of creating an online Christmas list with Moonsift include:

• It’s free! Making an online Christmas list with Moonsift won’t cost you a penny (in fact, you can also use it to create birthday wishlists, baby registries and more – without spending a dime!).

• It looks good. Moonsift was designed together with stylists and interior designers and is acclaimed for its clean design. So, it’s ideal if you want to make an aesthetic Christmas wishlist.

• Save as you go. Instead of sitting down to write a Christmas list in one go, Moonsift allows you to add items to your list as you come across them online – right there and then. So, there’ll be no more writers’ block to worry about!

• Add any item in the world. Our universal ‘save’ button means you can add items to your list from any store in the world. You can also link to them directly so your friends and family know exactly what you want.

• Add a cash fund. Want your loved ones to chip in to help you towards a bigger purchase for Christmas? Moonsift allows you to add details of a cash fund for people to contribute money towards instead of physical gifts

• Share with anybody. Send your online Christmas list to as many people as you like with one simple link.

• Add delivery notes and custom notes. Forget sending WhatsApp messages back and forth to explain where your loved ones should send your gift – Moonsift lets you add delivery notes to your list so everyone can access the info they need in one place.

• Avoid duplicate gifts. Set your list to ‘gift registry’ mode and your friends and family will be able to see what items are still available to buy and tick items off as they go. You’ll never have to worry about getting two of the same thing again!

• Keep it a surprise. Moonsift lets you reveal what’s been bought and by who when you choose – so you can keep it a surprise until the big day or sneak a quick peek if you’re feeling naughty (we won’t tell Santa!).

• Add items from your mobile and desktop. Use the Moonsift browser extension on your laptop and the iOS app on mobile and you’ll be able to add products directly to your wishlist wherever you’re browsing.
