Reserve gifts in secret

The best thing about a wish list is knowing what people want. The worst is when two people buy the same thing, or when the person who made the wish sees what's been bought. Gave solves both: the givers see what's taken. The person who wished for it never does.

How to reserve a wish

Open the wish list of someone you follow.
Tap the wish you'd like to give, and tap "Reserve".
Choose the occasion, "Birthday" or "Christmas". Gave suggests whichever comes first.
Once you've bought the gift, tap "Mark as bought".

If you've already bought it, tap "Bought" straight away. If you change your mind, cancel the reservation, and the wish is free for the others again.

Who sees what

The people who follow the person see whether a wish is free, reserved, or bought, and the first name of whoever took it. That way you don't buy the same thing.
The person who made the wish never sees the status of their own wishes. Not in the app, not in notifications, not in widgets, Siri, or Spotlight. Gave doesn't notify them when a wish is reserved, either.
Anyone else who doesn't follow the person sees no status.

This isn't a setting you can forget to turn on. The app simply never gets the status of your own wishes from the server, so it has nothing to show.

Showing your screen to someone?

If you're about to show the app to the person you're shopping for, turn on "Hide status". All status disappears from the screen, your secret gift ideas too, until you turn it off again.

Wishes with a quantity

If someone would like four glasses, four people can reserve one each, or one person can reserve them all. Gave shows how many are reserved and bought, so nobody buys too many.

Once the gift is given

The person who got the gift marks the wish as received, and it moves off their wish list. The people who reserved it are told. When the wish is fully bought, the giver can mark it as received too.
