The Big Gift List - I've received an invite!

This short guide will explain the process for viewing a list you've been invited to and how to select one or more items you would like to buy. You can also view a step-by-step guide of creating a new list and inviting your friends to view it here.

Once you have registered and logged in you will be presented with your profile page. From here you can access all of the features available on The Big Gift List. The third button from the top is for viewing your family and friends lists. Click 'Family and Friends Lists' to continue.

You will now be shown a listing of all the gift lists you've been invited to. Click the title of the list you would like to view.

You can now see a list of items that your friend would like in a similar way your own lists are displayed. Items that have already been selected by other people are marked as 'item taken'. To select an item yourself simply look through the list and click the 'I'll buy this' link on the right.

Once you've selected an item your name will be displayed next to it on the right. There will also be a new option available - Change Mind. Clicking 'Change Mind' allows you to remove yourself from the item and allow someone else to buy it instead, this could be because you have either decided to get something else, or perhaps you were unable to get the item.

That's all there is to it. All that's left for you to do is to buy the item (if the item in the list is underlined you can click it to view it in an online shop) and wait for the big day. If you need to ask the lists owner a question you can do so by clicking the 'Ask a question' button at the bottom of the page.
