# Create a list and add or edit gifts

Create a free GiftList account, make a list, then add gifts using product links, product search or a manual entry. GiftList fills in details when available; you can correct them before or after saving.

## Create the list

1. Sign in and open [Create a list](https://giftlist.com/lists/create-list), or choose **Create a list** from the website.
2. Enter a recognizable list name and choose the occasion and other details that apply.
3. Review who can find it, any delivery instructions, and whether people should be able to reserve gifts.
4. Choose **Create a list**. Open the new list to add gifts.

## Add a gift from a link

1. Open your list and choose **Add gift**, or use its add-gift link/search field.
2. Paste the actual retailer product-page URL. Avoid a shopping cart, account page, search-result page or copied image.
3. Review the item name, price, image and link. Automatic extraction depends on what the store makes available.
4. Use **Gift details** for size, color, variant or other instructions. Set quantity and **Most wanted** if useful.
5. Check the selected list and choose **Add gift** when the review form is shown. Confirm the gift appears on that list. Some link entries add directly and show a fetching state; review the resulting gift before adding it again.

Product search is another option when you know the name but do not have a link. Select a result, check the product details and choose the destination list.

## Offer more than one store for the same gift

Open the gift and choose **Edit**. Fill in **Link**, then use the **+** beside it for another store link. You can keep up to five links on one gift and remove an extra with its **X** control. The first link supplies the default Buy destination. In the owner or shared view, open the gift and choose another seller’s Buy button; expand **More stores** when shown. These links share the same gift and purchased status; they are not separate requested quantities.

## Add manually or correct a gift

Choose **Add manually** when there is no product link or automatic details do not work. Enter a clear title and any helpful price, image and notes. Experiences and offline gift ideas can be listed without a URL. For money contributions, use a [cash fund](https://giftlist.com/help/cash-funds-and-group-gifts).

For an existing gift, open **Gift options → Edit**. Correct the title, price, image, link or notes and choose **Save gift**. Review the live retailer page before shopping: a saved price is not a promise of the current checkout price or stock.

If a save takes longer than expected, check the list before adding the same item again. If a particular store's details are wrong, manual editing is the practical fallback; send support the product URL if the problem keeps happening.

The web, iPhone and Android entry points differ. See [iPhone saving](https://giftlist.com/help/save-gifts-on-iphone), [Android saving](https://giftlist.com/help/save-gifts-on-android) or the [desktop extension](https://giftlist.com/help/browser-extension) for shopping while saving.
