About

Collingham Christmas Wishlist

A family gift registry built for one household — and shared so other families can make it their own.

Collingham Christmas Wishlist is a gift registry for a whole household. Every family member adds the things they would genuinely love, and the app keeps those wishes in one shared place: a browsable wishlist, a photo gallery of every gift, and a printable-style checklist you can tick off in the shops. When someone reserves or buys a gift, it is instantly marked for everyone else, so two people never turn up with the same present. The app also tracks prices and flags anything that has dropped, draws Secret Santa pairings and keeps them secret until the reveal, and collects family photos, Christmas recipes and a live countdown to the big day.

It is made for families who coordinate Christmas together: parents, siblings, grandparents and anyone who has ever asked "what does he actually want this year?". Each household gets its own private list and invites its own people, so nothing is public and no stranger can see what is wrapped under the tree. Surprise Mode hides gift names, links and photos from the person the gifts are for until the moment something is bought.

The app is built and maintained in-house by the Collingham household, on Base44. There is no agency behind it, no advertising and no selling of anyone's data — it exists because the family wanted one place to plan Christmas, and it is improved season after season by the people who use it. Questions, bug reports and ideas all go to the same small inbox, and the Contact page is the quickest way to reach it.
