How it works

Three steps to a calmer Christmas

  1. 1

    Start your family

    Free, about two minutes. Add the kids by nickname and the grown ups too.

  2. 2

    Share the links

    Text a link to each kid and to Grandma and Grandpa. They add wishes and claim gifts.

  3. 3

    Shop, wrap, surprise

    You see every wish, budget and receipt. Everyone else sees only what they should.

Everything in one place

Built for the whole family

Surprise mode

Mom and Dad get lists too. Anything bought or claimed for you stays hidden from you, so Christmas morning stays a surprise.

Nobody buys twice

Grandma taps "I'll get this" and everyone else sees it is covered. No more three of the same Lego set.

Kids add their own wishes

Each kid gets a private link. No account, no email, no password. Their own list and a letter to Santa.

Santa writes back

Kids write to the North Pole. Parents answer as Santa, and the letter shows up in gold on their link.

Advent calendar

Twenty four painted doors. Every day in December, a new scene and a message from Santa.

The gift tracker

Budgets, receipts, tracking numbers and return dates in one place. See what is left at a glance.

Secret Santa

Draw names in one tap. Nobody draws their own, and each person sees only the name they got.

Carols and Santa's voice

Santa cheers every wish, and classic carols play while you shop. Three free, all twelve with the pass.

Santa tracker

Live scenes from the North Pole all December, then follow the sleigh around the world on Christmas Eve.

Kindness missions and a tree

A new mission from Santa every day. Kids earn painted ornaments and hang them on a tree that twinkles and sparkles.

Thank you notes

Kids pick a message, change any words, and print. Gifts and who gave them fill in after Christmas.

A letter from Santa to you

After the season, parents get a letter from Santa with your family's whole Christmas. Print it and keep it.

The Advent calendar

A new painted door every day of December

Each door opens a scene and a message from Santa. Kids count down to Christmas Eve with you.

Questions

Good questions from good elves

Is it only for Christmas?

No. Christmas is our specialty, and we keep going all year. Birthday wish lists start in January and stay free for every family.

Is it free?

Yes. The free plan holds 3 lists, with share links, claims and printing. Upgrade to the Season Pass inside the app whenever you are ready.

Do grandparents and relatives pay?

No. Relatives who only shop join free with an invite link. Only the family that runs the lists buys the Season Pass.

Is the Season Pass a subscription?

No. One payment covers your whole family for Christmas 2026. Nothing renews and nothing charges again.

Will my kids see what they are getting?

No. Kids add wishes from their own link and never see claims, purchases or budgets. If Mom or Dad has a list, gifts for them stay hidden from them too.

Do kids need an account or an email?

No. Parents add kids by nickname and send each one a link. Parents turn any link off in one tap.

What if it is not right for us?

Email us within 14 days of buying the Season Pass for a full refund. No hoops.

How do I learn to use it?

Short how to videos live right inside the app. Each one runs about 20 seconds, with a voice and captions, and shows the real screen step by step. Tap How to at the top of your family page any time.

I have a gift code. Where do I use it?

Tap Start free and type it in the Gift code box when you create your family. Already signed up? Open Have a gift code at the top of your Lists tab. Gift codes work inside Wish Jar, not at the Stripe checkout.

Does it work on phones?

Yes. It runs in any phone, tablet or computer browser. Add it to your home screen for one tap access.
