Collecting gift ideas
Share a wishlist – without spoiling the surprise
A wishlist everyone may see, only you no longer in detail: MerkIchMir lets you collect wishes as photo or text and share them with your people. Whoever gets something ticks it off quietly – for a birthday, Christmas or the wedding.
How to set up a shared wishlist
- Create a new list – "Christmas wishlist" or "Gifts for Grandma".
- Add wishes: type text, or photograph the thing in the shop window.
- In the 🛠 menu tap "Share list", sign in once with your email, then add the email addresses of the gift givers.
- They sign in with that address in the app, tick off what they're getting – the rest stays visibly open.
A photo beats a shop link
Wishlists built from pasted links go stale fast: the item is gone, the price is different, the shop is dead. A photo of what you want stays unambiguous – the colour, the model, the brand. And when you spot something nice in a shop, you just snap it and it's on the list.
Which occasions it fits
- Birthday & Christmas – the family pulls ideas from one list
- Wedding & moving in – guests see what's still missing, no double gifts
- Kids' wishlists – parents and godparents share one list
- A "someday" list for yourself – things you want to remember
Frequently asked
Can I put photos on the wishlist instead of links?
Yes. You photograph the item in the shop or add a picture from your library – no copy-and-pasting of shop links needed.
Can the others see what's already been bought?
When you share the list, whoever buys something ticks it off. The others see it the next time they open the app – so nobody buys the same thing twice.
Can several people be on one wishlist?
Yes. For family, a circle of friends or the whole extended family that's plenty.
Do the others need an account?
No password. They sign in once with their email address – the exact address you add to the list. Sign-in works through a link sent by email.
What does it cost?
The app is free, and so is your first shared list. Every further shared list is a one-time purchase of EUR 0.99.
