Questions people ask first.

Everything you need to know about saving ideas, creating lists, sharing with others and finding better gifts with Genielist.

What is Genielist?

Genielist is a free gift management tool for saving products, organising ideas, creating useful lists and sharing them with the right people. You can use it to keep track of things you want, things someone else might like, or lists you want to share later.

Is Genielist free to use?

Yes. Genielist is free to use and there are no paid features to unlock.

Do I need an account to get started?

You can start by creating a list or saving an idea before making an account. To keep everything saved properly and come back to it later, you’ll need to create a free account or log in.

What is the Ideas section for?

Ideas is your private space for saving products you like, things you want, and anything you might buy for someone else later. You can organise saved items into collections and add them to a gift list whenever the time is right.

How are Ideas different from Lists?

Ideas is your private space for keeping and organising products you want, things you like, and anything you might buy for someone else later. Lists are collections of products, usually created for an occasion like a birthday, Christmas or wedding, that you can keep private or share with the people you choose.

Can I create a list for someone else?

Yes. You can create lists for yourself or for someone else. For example, a parent can create a birthday or Christmas list for a child and share it with family, or someone can organise a group gift list for a friend, partner or relative.

What is the difference between an open list and a surprise list?

An open list lets you, as the list owner, see which items have been reserved or bought. This is useful if you’ve created a list for someone else, such as a child, partner or family member. A surprise list keeps reserved and bought statuses hidden from you, so you can share your own list without knowing what people have chosen.

Can people reserve gifts?

Yes. People can reserve gifts so others know what has already been taken. Depending on the list type, reservation activity can either be visible for coordination or hidden to protect the surprise.

How do I share a list?

You can share a list with saved contacts or invite someone by email. Recipients stay pending until they accept, then become viewers of the list. You can see who has access and restrict access at any time.

Can someone view a list without changing it?

Yes. Shared list recipients become viewers. They can view the list and interact with gift reservations where allowed, but they do not own the list.

How does AI-powered gift discovery work?

AI-powered gift discovery uses the existing items in a list or Ideas collection as context, then suggests ideas that match the person’s interests, style or the themes already showing in those saved products. From there, you can refine the ideas and find real products when you’re ready.

When should I use AI-powered gift discovery?

Use it when you need a bit of extra inspiration — whether you’re building your own list, looking for something that fits your budget, or trying to find a more personal gift than the items already shared. It also helps when you arrive late to a list and the best options have already been reserved or bought.
