How do I mark that I bought an item on another Elfster Wishlist?

Presents are wonderful, but doubles are trouble! Here is how to show future gifters that a wish has been purchased.

When you mark a wish as purchased, other people viewing the Wishlist will see that the item has already been bought and can choose a different gift.

Don't worry—your secret is safe! The Wishlist owner won't be notified or see that the wish has been marked as purchased, so your surprise stays a surprise. 🎁

To mark an item as purchased, you need to be logged into your Elfster account.

How to mark an item as purchased

  1. Go to the person’s Wishlist. 💫

  2. Select Mark as Purchased next to the item you bought.

    • If the person requested multiple quantities, you’ll be prompted to enter how many you purchased.

  3. Confirm your purchase, and you’re all set! ✨

Other people viewing the Wishlist will see that the item has been purchased, but the Wishlist owner won’t be notified or see who purchased it. Your surprise stays a secret! 🎁

If you accidentally mark the wrong item, select Undo Mark as Purchased.
