The holiday season is one of magic, and this year especially we see many unrolling that magic earlier than normal. In addition to the lights and holiday music, many already have their personal decorations up and waiting for the special day. With all the confusion and craziness around, why not make one thing easier—holiday wish lists! With Wakelet, this fun tradition can be modernized and updated for the digital age.
Creating a wishlist is easy with Wakelet’s friendly platform. Simply log in, and begin by creating a new collections. Name it and add some fun holiday flare or the photo of the person it belongs to. (This is great if you are going to make several for various family members) Once you have the initial set up complete adding items to the wishlist can be done by hitting the green plus sign. Users can add links (great for things we fine while searching through social media) or add text and just write in and explain the gift ideas personally.
Tip: When adding links and other forms of media, try adding in specific information for the gift such as size, color. etc.
When finished, before clicking DONE and saving the list you will want to change it from PRIVATE to either UNLISTED or PUBLIC depending on how you are going to share it. If you are just sending the links to loved ones, then you could keep it unlisted and the list will only been seen by those who it was sent to. Public will make it viewable to everyone who comes across it.
If creating lists as a family, try taking each individual collection and putting them together in their own space. Follow these steps:
From the Wakelet educators dashboard, click on “+” sign
2. Add a Space name, then click the green Create button!
Using Wakelet for wishlists could be used in so many ways. Think small and create and share between your immediate family, or think larger by using for a school wide Secret Santa or for a fun way to shower a teacher with small gifts she handpicked herself.
And if you are one who loves the traditional hand written wishlist, any Wakelet collection can be downloaded as a PDF and printed as well!
