A gift list that hides what's bought
Most wish lists show the owner what was bought, or show nobody anything and leave the family guessing. A Hollyhush list splits it cleanly: the family sees which things are taken, so there are no doubles, and the owner sees nothing about it.
The page you edit never loads claim data. Opening the family link on your own device hides claims too.
What you can put on your list
- Links from any storeAmazon, Target, Walmart, Etsy and more, with the name, picture and price.
- A star for most wantedPlus size, color, notes and how many.
- Add from your phoneAndroid: share from a store app straight to your list. iPhone: Share, Copy link, then Paste from clipboard.
- A family boardOne link that shows everyone's lists together.
- Private by designNo names or emails stored. The list deletes itself after January 31 unless you keep it.

Questions
What is a Christmas list app that hides what has been bought?
It is a wish list where family can mark "I got this" so nobody buys the same thing twice, but the person who made the list never sees which items were bought or by whom. Hollyhush works this way: your family sees "Someone got this", you see nothing, and the surprise stays intact.
How do I make a Christmas wish list I can share with family?
Open Hollyhush, tap Start my list, then paste a link from any store or type what you want. Send the family link it gives you in your group chat. There is no sign-up, no name and no email.
Do I need an account or an app?
No. The list lives at a private link in your browser. You can add it to your Home Screen like an app. On Android you can also share a product straight from a store app to the list.
Can the person who made the list see who bought what?
No. The page the owner edits never loads claim data, and the family link on the owner's own device hides claims too. The only person who sees that an item was bought is the person who bought it.
Can several family members share one page?
Yes. Make a family board, send its link, and each person adds their list to it. Everyone sees all the lists on one page, with the same private "I got this".
Which stores work?
Any store with a product link: Amazon, Target, Walmart, Etsy, Best Buy and more. Hollyhush reads the product name, picture and price when the store allows it. You can also type a gift with no link.
Can I mark what I want most, and add a size or color?
Yes. Star the things you want most, add a size, color or note to each, and say how many you want.
How much does it cost, and how is it paid for?
It is free. Buy links to Amazon and other stores may earn Hollyhush a small commission at no extra cost to the buyer. Nothing is sold about you and there are no ads.
What happens to my list after Christmas?
It deletes itself after January 31. If you want to keep it another year, tap Keep it another year on your list page.
Buy links may be affiliate links: if you buy through them Hollyhush may earn a small commission at no cost to you. See privacy and disclosure. More gift help: gift ideas by budget.
