How it works
Three steps. That’s the whole thing.
Make a list
Paste a shop link, scan a barcode, snap a photo, or just type it in. A name is enough to start.
Share the link
Send it on WhatsApp, SMS or email. Friends open it in the browser. No app and no account.
They tick it off and buy
Someone taps “I’ll get this”, then buys it from the shop. Everyone else just sees “Taken”, so two people don’t arrive with the same present.
Paste a link, type a gift, scan a barcode, or take a photo. The iPhone and Android apps aren’t in the stores yet, and you don’t need them for this.
For the occasions that fill the group chat
Birthdays
One list for the year of “what do you actually want?”. Share it once. People pick something you’ll use, and fewer pairs of socks turn up.
Weddings
A gift list that isn’t stuck with one shop. Plates from here, a weekend away from there, and guests can see what’s already taken so you don’t unwrap two toasters.
Christmas
One list for the whole family. People tick off a gift and buy it, and you still get to be surprised on the day.
Why guests love it
No sign-up
The link opens in the browser. No app, no account, no password to remember.
Find it
Guests tap Find it and pick a shop. The gift’s own link comes first, then Takealot, Makro, Amazon.co.za and other South African shops.
No duplicate gifts
Tap “I’ll get this” and everyone else sees “Taken”. Not your name. Just taken.
You never see what’s been claimed
Not which gifts, and not who is buying them. WishFor doesn’t show that to the person who made the list. Friends only see the word “Taken”.
Open your own link and we ask if it’s yours before any of that appears, so a quick look doesn’t spoil the day.
Questions, answered
Is WishFor free?
Yes. Making a list is free, and so is opening one. There’s nothing to pay, and we don’t take a cut when someone buys a gift.
Do guests need an account?
No. They don’t download an app or create a login. They open the link you send them, in any browser.
Can the list owner see what’s been bought?
No. Nothing in the owner’s account shows which gifts have been claimed, or who is getting them. Other guests only see “Taken”, and we never ask for a guest’s name. If you open your own share link, we warn you before any of that is shown.
Which shops work?
Any shop you can copy a product link from, including Takealot, Makro, Amazon.co.za, Game and Woolworths. A gift can also have no link at all. Guests tap Find it and pick a South African shop to search.
Rather wait for the apps?
The iPhone and Android apps aren’t in the stores yet. Leave your email and we’ll tell you when you can download them. We’ll only use the address for that.
