• Custom notes. This year instead of constant communication about sizes or colours, etc. you can make notes for each item sharing details with everyone without ruining your surprise in the process.

• Save time! Between work, kids, and school, saving items on the go will save you a lot of time in the long run.

Where can I make an online Christmas list?

A lot of online registry services are specific to certain events like birthdays, weddings, or baby showers. To find the perfect site for an online Christmas list, universal registry platforms are your best bet.

Registry services like Amazon and MyRegistry.com let you choose from a large selection of items, tracking who purchases each gift, but neither have the ability to integrate third-party wish lists or save items from across the web in a sleek, easy-to-navigate design.

Moonsift, on the other hand, allows you to create a comprehensive list for any occasion - including all of your Christmas wants - without the hassle. Moonsift is completely free and our universal save button makes it easy to save items from any online store.

How should I make my Christmas list?

Here are some tips for creating the perfect Christmas wish list for this holiday season:

1. Add items you want, not just what you need. Think of items you want, but wouldn’t buy yourself.

2. Start thinking early. It’s never too early to start thinking about the holiday season and of the gifts you want to see under the tree this year.

3. Save items as you shop. Rather than wracking your brain for ideas in December, you can save items as you online shop throughout the year.

4. Share with whomever you want. From spouses to friends to co-workers, platforms like Moonsift let you send your Christmas list to all of your loved ones with one link.

5. Be mindful of cost. Using a universal wish list lets you select items from different retailers at various price points so there’s an option for all shoppers.

6. Add a cash fund. Want to use the holiday season to chip away at purchases with bigger price tags? Create a cash fund with Moonsift so your loved ones can contribute to these bigger items.

Whether you're on your daily Amazon scroll or stumbled onto a small boutique on Instagram or TikTok, you can save items directly to your Moonsift Christmas list at the click of a button. Once the holidays roll around, you’ll be able to share the list you’ve been building all year with your family and friends with one shareable link.
