When a friend wants to buy something, they 'hold' it. Other people see it's taken and pick something else. This prevents the awkward 'oh, I got you that too' situation.

Friends click 'View Product' to go to the actual store and buy it. Once they've ordered, they mark it as 'Purchased' in MySanta. The item is removed from the available list.

For big-ticket items, multiple friends can 'Join Collaboration' instead of one person buying alone. Everyone splits the cost. The item shows as 'Held by a group' so others know it's covered.

Chipping in
Split ₹29,990 across 4 people = ~₹7,500 each
How chipping in works:
• Anyone can join a held item as a collaborator
• The item shows as "Held by a group" to others
• All collaborators coordinate the purchase off-platform
• One person marks it purchased when done
09
When you view your own list, you see everything — including what's been purchased. When friends view it, purchased items are hidden so your surprises stay surprises.

Add friends by email. Once connected, you can see each other's public lists and wishlists. Friend requests, accepts, and a mutual feed.
Your home base — upcoming events, recent lists, gifts sent vs received stats. Everything in one place.
Anyone with your link can view your list — they don't need a MySanta account. They only need to sign up if they want to hold or purchase an item.
Items auto-detect currency from the product URL. INR, USD, EUR, GBP and more — we display the price correctly wherever it came from.
For expensive gifts, friends can join a collaboration and split the cost. The item shows as "held by a group" so others know it's covered.
Spot something amazing on a friend's list? Save it to one of your own wishlists instantly. One click, no re-adding.
Get notified when a friend holds or purchases an item from your list — without knowing what it is. The suspense is half the fun.
Do my friends need an account to view my list?
No. Anyone with your list link can view it. They only need to sign up if they want to hold or purchase an item.
Can I add items from any website?
Yes. Paste any product URL and we'll auto-fill the details. It works best on major e-commerce sites (Amazon, Flipkart, Myntra, etc.). For other sites you can fill in the details manually.
How do I prevent duplicate gifts?
When a friend clicks "Hold this gift", it shows as reserved to everyone else. They'll see it's taken and can choose something else instead.
Will I know who's buying what?
No — and that's by design. You'll be notified when something is purchased but not who bought it or what it was. Surprises stay surprises.
Is it free?
Yes, completely free for personal use. Create as many lists as you want, add as many items as you need, invite unlimited friends.
Can I use MySanta in India?
Absolutely. We support Indian rupees (INR), work with all major Indian e-commerce sites, and have occasion types like Diwali and Holi built in.
