Our week long project - trying to do the wishlist better

Hi guys, We have just built Ultimategiftlists.com My girlfriend keeps asking me what I want for Christmas. I also need to buy stuff for my nephew. So I wrote a list of stuff out for my girlfriend and sent her an email of links showing her the stuff I wanted. I found that my brother did exactly the same to show me what I should get my nephews. There had to be a better way to do this. Amazon wishlist exists but it doesn't do it as effectively as I wanted. Therefore my mate and I built our new site - www.ultimategiftlists.com - it's hopefully very simple to use and has a really cool feature…

In plain words

Ultimate Gift Lists is a website for creating and sharing gift wishlists with family and friends. Users can easily add items from across the web to their personal list and share links with gift-givers. The platform targets people who struggle to communicate what they want for holidays or special occasions. It includes a feature called "giftmark" that allows users to add items to their list on the go from mobile devices.
