Use the Search Friends field on top left of the app to find a friend.    Click Follow beside their name or Invite them if you can’t find them.   Once they join, you’ll need to search and follow them.  See video below. 

Following a friend is a great option, because it means you’ll get notified each time they update their wish list. You’ll also get reminded when they’re about to celebrate a birthday. This makes shopping for gifts — and remembering special occasions — super simple. Think of it just like any other social network: Following someone lets you stay connected.

WishSlate founder, Jaison Dolvane created the app after experiencing the common problem of anxiety around gift-giving. 

He explained: “Throughout the year, my wife would send me links to things that she liked. When it came time to buy something for her birthday, Mother’s Day, or Christmas, I found myself frantically searching for the links or not getting the product delivered on time. I’d usually wait until the last minute, rush to find something, go over my budget and settle for a gift I was not completely sure she would like.”

After speaking with hundreds of families, we realized that making and sharing lists, as simple as it is, does not really have a ‘made for it’ solution.   He found that people use google docs, emails, or notes to share lists and there is a lot of coordination required, especially around occasions like Christmas and Birthdays.   So, we created WishSlate with features to help making and organizing product and gift lists easy, in addition to helping automate the sharing and co-ordination of lists with friends and family.

Error Saving Item:  WishSlate has a magical feature, which lets you paste a link and automatically figure out the product image and details.   On very rare occasions, when you Click Save – you receive a red box with an “Error Saving Item”.  This is because the website with the product did not allow us to save the image.  In this case – Click X on the image, add your image manually, and click Save.

We would love to hear your ideas for the app. As we’re still in beta, we depend on community feedback to help us grow and improve. Please direct any suggestions to info@wishslate.com.
