There’s something special about the end of the year when many people are collectively pressing pause and taking time to recharge their batteries. It’s a time to rest and reflect. A time to be grateful for another 365 days of possibilities.

A new year signals a fresh start. And with every fresh start there is a little bit of clean up to be had. It’s also a great time to review your Giftster wish lists and remove items you no longer are interested in or have received.

Here are a few tips for making the most of Giftster.

Archive gifts with the I Got This button

Giftster has an archive feature called I Got This. When viewing your list, use the I Got This button to archive gifts you have received over the holidays and throughout the year.

Any item you archive with the I Got This button gets moved over to your I Got This list. It’s a way to see all of the items you’ve received.

Rename your list and choose a new list image

Did you name your list for a specific holiday or event this year? Update your wish list name so it’s clear what it’s for. Or if you’re like me, name it sometime you won’t have to change so you can use it for birthdays, anniversaries and anytime gifting.

Now Giftster offers a collection of creative list images to personalize your wish lists even more. Spruce things up with a new image for a whole new year of gifting.

Remind your group members to update their wish lists

Whether it’s a birthday, anniversary, or just because, Giftster makes it so easy to surprise someone you love with a gift they really wanted or needed. But…it only works if they add gift ideas.

To help, Giftster has a handy little reminder feature which sends the list maker an email giving them the subtle nudge to add a few items to their list. The fun part is it’s completely anonymous if you want it to be. Or you can include a personal note too. Go to Shop For and at the bottom of someone’s list look for the little lightning bolt.

Prepare for life changing magic

Keeping your wish list tidy and up to date will set your friends and family up for gifting success year-round. This not only gives your family the confidence they need when they want to surprise you, but also offers the same benefits to you when you want to show them a little love too.

Remember, with Giftster, gifts come in all forms. They don’t even have to cost a dime. Sometimes the best gift we can ask for is some time with family. Put that on your list – or whatever you need the most this year.

And in the spirit of tidying up…maybe a vacuum that cleans for you too 😎

Happy gifting!
