🎁 Welcome to Power Family Wishlist

Everything you need to know to get started with gift-giving made easy

What is Power Family Wishlist?

Power Family Wishlist is a private system for our family to share gift ideas and coordinate gift-giving. No more guessing what people want, no more duplicate gifts, and everyone still gets surprised!

How It Works:

  1. You create a wishlist — Add items you'd like to receive with links, descriptions, and prices
  2. Family can browse your list — They see what you want and can claim items
  3. Privacy is protected — You can't see what's been claimed from YOUR list, so gifts are still a surprise!
  4. No duplicates — When someone claims an item, others know it's covered

Getting Started

Step 1: Request an Invitation

Text your email address to Paul (the family admin).

Example: "My email is sarah@example.com"

Step 2: Receive Your Invitation

You'll get your invitation in two ways:

  • Email invitation — Check your inbox (and spam folder!)
  • Text message with link — From Paul as a backup

Use either method — they both work!

Step 3: Create Your Account

  1. Click the link from either the email or text message
  2. You'll see a welcome screen with your name
  3. Choose a password and enter it twice
  4. Click "Complete Setup"
You're in! You'll be automatically logged in and can start adding items to your wishlist.
Tips
  • Keep both the email and text in case you need the link again
  • Choose a password you'll remember
  • Write it down somewhere safe if needed
What if I don't receive anything?
  • Check your spam/junk folder for the email
  • Make sure you gave Paul the correct email address
  • Text Paul to resend the invitation link
