🙋 Reserving a gift for someone

See how visitors reserve a wish on a shared Bestboy list — no account needed — so nobody accidentally buys the same gift twice for the same person.

🙋 Reserving a gift for someone

When you open someone's shared wishlist link, you can reserve any wish that isn't already claimed — no account needed.

  1. Open the list's shared link.
  2. Find the wish you want to get and click Reserve.
  3. The wish now shows Reserved — undo to you, so you can change your mind later, but everyone else just sees it's taken.

The list owner never sees who reserved a wish, only that it's reserved — the surprise is safe. If the list has donation-enabled wishes, you'll see a Donate button on those instead of (or alongside) Reserve.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need a Bestboy account to reserve a gift?

No — anyone with the shared list link can reserve a wish without creating an account.

Can I change my mind after reserving something?

Yes — a wish you've reserved shows a Reserved — undo option to you, so you can release it again if your plans change.

Will the list owner know I reserved their gift?

No — the owner only sees that a wish is reserved, never who reserved it, so the surprise stays safe.
