Privacy on your wishlist: what to share and what not
Quick answer
Your list is personal — a few choices control who sees what.
Not everyone needs to know everything about your wishes or budget. Privacy on your wish list is about control: who sees the list, which items are visible, and how much you share about your preferences.
Share only with people who give gifts
A public list is handy for birthdays, but for gift draws the link for participants is enough. Less spread, less awkwardness.
Be careful with address details
Delivery address does not belong on a public page. Share shipping info only with someone who actually sends something.
Consider separate lists per occasion
Christmas with family, birthday with friends — sometimes you want to show different items. Separation prevents wrong eyes.
Discuss sensitive wishes offline
Medical aids or personal care are better mentioned in a private conversation than prominently on the list.
Conclusion: how to put it into practice
Privacy does not mean being secretive, but consciously choosing who sees what. Set your list so you feel comfortable with every giver.
