When you create a Wish List, you will be giving your friends and family an easy way to find and shop from one convenient location. To locate a friend’s or family member’s Wish List, all you need to do is provide their name, email address, and the answer to their pass question (if they choose to have one).

For couples who are planning on getting married, the Wish List also acts as a gift registry. An engaged couple creates a list of the items they hope to receive and their guests and friends purchase gifts for the couple from that list. The Wish List for a bridal registry is a great convenience for couples and for those who wish to give them gifts.

You can access your Wish List information anytime just by clicking on "Wish List" at the top navigation bar on any page at GiftMe.com.

1. While enjoying our site, go to "Wish List." You will need to login to your existing GiftMe.com account or create a new one if you haven't already.
2. Once you log-in, you are free to begin adding items to your Wish List by clicking on the "Add This Item to My Wish List" link beneath every product on the site.
3. When you're finished adding items, you may choose to send your Wish List to all your friends and family. We will ask you for their e-mail addresses and will give you a preview of the e-mail they will receive. You can even add a personal message to them on this e-mail if you'd like.

The GiftMe.com Wish List functions exactly like most traditional wedding registry services. All of your friends and family can use it to find out what you'd like to receive, and it automatically documents any purchases made from it.

When you click on "Tell My Friends," you can type in the email addresses of your friends or family members to send them information about your Wish List. Friends and family who receive your GiftMe.com Wish List e-mail will be able to access your Wish List gift choices. Your family and friends can order any item directly off the list through the vendors. Once an item is either purchased or committed, it will be marked in the Wish List as 'Purchased' or ‘Committed.’

Also the "Tell My Friends" option may be a particularly good tool for your own kids--they can put together a list of what they're interested in, and then e-mail it to parents and family.

1. Click on "Wish List Directory" in the Wish List page.
2. Enter last name and email address of the wish list you are searching for. To obtain more specific wish lists, user may input first name and state.
3. Click on "Search" to take you to the search results page.
4. If the search was successful, there will be a listing of user name(s) that match the search query.
5. Click on the user name to proceed to that user name’s Wish List or perform another search by searching again at the bottom of the page.
6. Click on a user name (among the search results) to proceed to that user name’s Wish List. You are then taken to a new page that asks the pass question.
7. To enter the Wish List, you must answer the pass question correctly in the field box, and click "submit."
8. If there is no pass question for this user, simply click on "Submit" to proceed to the user's Wish List.

Very simple: when a user requests access to your Wish List, he or she is asked your pass question. Only users who answer the question correctly, are allowed to view your wish list or pick items on your wish list to buy for you.

GiftMe.com's pass question mechanism allows you to choose your level of security. If you’d like anyone to have access to your Wish List, you can choose a pass question such as 'What color is the sky?' with the answer 'Blue.' If you’d like very strict access, you can choose something like 'What is my password?' with the answer 'xxwwff7070.' Most users choose something in between -- a question most of their friends know the answer to, but strangers wouldn’t normally guess. For example, 'What is my dog's name?'

First, set your pass question on the SECURITY + PREFERENCES PAGE. Next, go to the TELL MY FRIENDS page by choosing this link on the on the left navigation bar. There, you can enter your friends' email addresses and GiftMe.com will automatically send them messages informing them about your Wish List and, if you choose, your pass question and answer.

When a user types the answer to your pass question, he or she must type the answer exactly as you entered it, but does not need to use the same capitalization. For example, if your answer is 'Spot the Dog', your friends can enter 'spot the dog' or 'SPOT the dog', but not 'spot' or 'spot dog'.

1. You may change the status of any gift on the giftee’s Wish List by clicking on either "I’ll buy it" or "Change Status" choice underneath the "Purchased?" area.
2. If you have decided to commit to buying the gift for the giftee, you may click on "I’ll buy it" underneath the "purchased?" area next to a gift item.
3. If you have already committed to buying a gift previously, and wish to change their commitment status, you may click on "Change status" choice underneath the "Purchased?" area next to a gift item.
4. To buy a gift, click on "I’ll Buy It". Checkmark either "I commit to buying this gift," "I purchased this gift," or "neither."
5. Type in a due date for purchasing this gift. This is used to remind you a due date for your gift purchase.
6. You can check a box to link the gift item to your own reminder list for your convenience.
7. Click on "Submit" to save changes, "reset" to clear the fields, or "cancel" to go back to the giftee’s Wish List.
