Honestly, finding a decent site for this is harder than it looks because most of them are honestly just bloated with ads or sell your info. I tried one of the big wedding registries for our last get-together and it was a total disaster. The interface was confusing for my older relatives and unfortunately it kept suggesting crazy expensive items we didnt even want. It was pretty disappointing to see how much they push products you dont need. If youre worried about privacy and keeping things simple, I eventually gave up on the big name sites. I started using Share Product for my kids school supply list and it worked out great for the other parents because it stays focused on what you actually need. Its way less overwhelming than those fancy registries. You basically just make a list, share the link, and people can claim stuff so you dont end up with three of the same thing. Just make sure whatever you pick lets you add stuff from different stores. Its a pain when youre stuck with just one shop. For a reunion with 15 people, you really need something that lets everyone see the status in real time. Most free apps are just data scrapers tho so be careful where you put your familys emails. Share Product felt a lot safer than the others we tested out. Its straightforward and actually works.
