How Our Gift Circle works
Everything the site can do, in plain language — whether you're already using it or still deciding whether it's for you.
Our Gift Circle is a private place to share wish lists with the people who matter, without spoiling a single surprise. It's free, ad-free, and nobody sells your data. If you're weighing it up, start with what you can do; if you've just signed in, start with getting started.
What you can do
The whole site in one page — lists, circles, surprises kept intact, and a record of what you bought.
Getting started
From signing in to your first shared list, in about five minutes.
Lists and gifts
Making wish lists, what each field on a gift is for, and keeping several lists apart.
Circles and invitations
Gathering people into a group, inviting them, and who can do what.
Sharing and surprise protection
How claiming a gift works, and why the person whose list it is never sees it.
Family and child profiles
Making lists for a child who has no account, and sharing them safely.
Drawing names
Running a secret gift exchange, keeping pairs apart, and whether the host finds out.
The gift log
A private record of what you've bought, who it's for, where you hid it, and what you did last year.
Privacy and your data
What the site stores, who can see it, and how to delete all of it.
What's new
What's changed lately, and what it means for you.
