Gift Coordination (Tips & Considerations)

Creating a true "mark as purchased" feature that's hidden from the list owner is complex for standard form builders. Here are some ideas:

  • Shared Spreadsheet: After creating the list, you could export it. Family members could then coordinate on a shared spreadsheet (like Google Sheets) to mark items, keeping the original Formify list as the master wish list.
  • Dedicated Gift Giver: One person could be in charge of a copy of the list and update it as they get information from others.
  • Simple Instructions: Include instructions on the form asking gift-givers to coordinate among themselves or with a designated person to prevent duplicate gifts.
  • Formify Workaround (Advanced): If you're tech-savvy, you could potentially set up a system where gift-givers submit another form to indicate a purchase, which then (via an integration like Zapier or a webhook) updates a separate database or sheet that only certain people can see. This is more advanced.

🎁 Creating Your Perfect Wish List with Formify

Step 1: Design Your Form

(If Formify has an AI generator, adjust accordingly) Use Formify's drag and drop form builder to add fields like:

  • Priority (Dropdown: High, Medium, Low)
  • Price Range (Text Input or Dropdown)
  • Notes/Preferences (Text Area)

Step 2: Customize Your Wish List Form

  • Add a personal greeting at the top of your form.
  • Choose themes or colors to make it festive (if Formify offers appearance customization).
  • Include a section for special requests or general holiday wishes.
  • Customize the thank you message that appears after someone views or interacts with your list (if applicable).

Step 3: Organize Your Gift Ideas

  • You can create sections within your form for different categories (e.g., Hobbies, Books, Clothing).
  • Ensure priority levels are clear.
  • Add helpful details in the notes for sizes, colors, etc.

Step 4: Share with Loved Ones

  • Generate the unique sharing link for your Formify wish list.
  • Consider password-protecting your form if that feature is available and you want limited access.
