One link. Better clues.
How to share your wishlist on WhatsApp
Open your Wishmingle list, choose Share and send its sharing link on WhatsApp. Friends can view that link and reserve an idea while you keep editing through your own account.
Prepared with AI assistance. Planning guidance, rather than hands-on product reviews or live shop prices.
Open the list you mean to send
Sign in and go to My wish lists. Check the list title and occasion before sharing, especially if you have several lists for your household. Remove wishes you already own and add enough detail to tell two similar versions apart. A product name plus size or edition can save a surprising amount of back-and-forth.
Use Share to get the buyer’s link
Choose Share on the list. Use Share via WhatsApp or copy the sharing link and paste it into your own message. Sending the address of My wish lists would point friends at an account area instead. You can use the same dedicated list link in an email or another messaging app.
Add a message that takes the pressure off
Try: ‘You asked for ideas, so here are a few things I’d enjoy. Please choose whatever suits your budget, and a surprise is lovely too.’ A list is useful guidance. It need not turn Christmas or a birthday into a shopping assignment. Include smaller wishes so people have a comfortable choice.
Tell buyers what reserving means
Your buyers can reserve a gift to help one another avoid duplicates. They still need to open the shop link and buy the item themselves. A reservation does not confirm payment, hold retailer stock or guarantee delivery. If they change their mind, they should release the reservation while the release control is available.
Keep the link with the right people
Anyone who receives the sharing link can view that list and reserve gifts. Forwarding it widens that audience. Avoid putting private addresses or sensitive personal details in wish names or notes. If the link reaches the wrong people, use the sharing controls to replace it and send the new link to the intended buyers.
Keep group invitations separate
A wishlist link and a Secret Santa invitation do different jobs. Send each Secret Santa invitation only to its intended recipient. They sign in and choose Join group & reveal my person. When attaching a list to the group, the organiser’s wishlist settings determine who can view it through that group.
Your questions, answered
Do friends need an account to view my sharing link?
The list’s dedicated sharing link opens a buyer view without an account. Editing your list and joining a Secret Santa group use your signed-in account.
Can I send the same list by email?
Yes. Copy the list’s sharing link into an email. The same link can be used in WhatsApp or another messaging app.

How Secret Santa exclusions work
Set exclusions before drawing names to stop a participant being assigned a particular person. Too many restrictions can leave a small group without a valid draw, so agree only the rules you need.
