Frequently asked questions

Nifty is a year-round place to keep gift wishlists and share them with the people you choose. Save things you want, see what friends and family want, and never give a duplicate gift again.

Yes — creating an account and building and sharing wishlists is free.

Only the people you choose. Share with individual friends, with a circle (a named group), or with anyone holding a share link you generate. There are no public profiles and no storefront.

No. To keep things a surprise, list owners can’t see who claimed or purchased an item. Everyone else viewing the list can, so two people don’t buy the same thing.

It’s a Secret-Santa-style draw. Create an exchange, invite people, optionally set who can’t be matched (for example, spouses), and Nifty assigns everyone a person to gift.

Yes. When organizing an exchange you can mark pairs that should never draw each other, and the draw will respect those rules.

Yes. You can create and manage an account for a child or family member, including how they sign in, and maintain their list for them.

Yes. The Nifty browser extension lets you add an item to a wishlist from any product page — it grabs the picture, price, and details automatically.

It’s a quick, playful gift profile — sizes, favorite brands, things you’re into, things to avoid — that helps the people shopping for you pick something you’ll love.

Yes. You choose which email notifications you receive (and can pause them entirely) in your settings, and every email includes an unsubscribe link.

Nifty is year-round rather than holiday-only, has no storefront, ads, or spam, keeps sharing private by default, and includes managed accounts, gift exchanges with draw restrictions, and a browser extension.

You can export a copy of your data and delete your account at any time from your account settings.
