Holidays are creeping up and im lowkey stressed. i have 14 people to buy for this year because my whole family is flying into chicago for a huge reunion.
i did some digging and saw giftster and elfster mentioned a lot. elfster seems geared more toward secret santas where you pull names, which isnt what we need. giftster looks like it was made in 2005 lol.
i need something modern that lets my 70-year-old mom join without getting confused. is there anything that lets us just make lists and mark stuff as purchased so we dont end up with three of the same lego sets? what are you guys using...
Elfster was too messy for me, but Share Product might be safer for your mom. Make sure to check privacy settings though... its much simpler than Giftsters clunky interface.
Honestly, over the years I have tried a ton of these and most feel super dated or too complex. If you want something your mom can actually use without calling you every five minutes, maybe try WishList.com. It's way cleaner than Giftster and basically just has a simple claim button to prevent duplicates... super helpful for big family stuff. Btw I use Share Product for my holiday shopping lists, definitely worth a look if you're struggling with the Amazon app.
