A graduation wishlist is a personalized list of gifts, essentials, and keepsakes that graduates create to share their gift preferences. On GiftList, you can build a universal graduation wishlist by adding items from ANY retailer, tagging favorites as “Most Wanted,” and sharing via a unique link. Learn more in our FAQ.

Yes—graduation wishlists are a modern way to communicate gift preferences, reduce guesswork, and celebrate milestones. GiftList makes it easy and socially acceptable to share your wishlist with friends and family.

We recommend starting your graduation wishlist 4–6 weeks before your ceremony. This gives guests ample time to reserve or purchase items and ensures you have everything you need for your next chapter.

A complete graduation wishlist might include:

• Professional essentials: Laptop, briefcase, portfolio.
• Home basics: Kitchen gadgets, bedding, décor.
• Experiences: Gift cards, event tickets, subscriptions.
• Keepsakes: Personalized jewelry, photo frames.
• Budget variety: Gifts under $25, $25–$75, and splurges $75+.

Paste a product URL from ANY retailer and GiftList will fetch its name, image, price, and link. Or use the “Add Item” search bar to find products in our multi-retailer catalog. You can also add items directly from our mobile apps as you browse, or ask Genie for AI-powered suggestions.

Click the options menu on any item and select “Most Wanted.” That tag moves it to the top of your list so gift-givers see your highest priorities first.

Our reservation system marks each purchased item as “Purchased” on your list—so no two people can accidentally buy the same gift.

Click “Share” on your wishlist page to copy your unique URL, then send it via text, email, or social channels. Anyone with that link can view and reserve items.
