Adding Gifts

Setting a default currency

Set a preferred currency to save gifts with the correct price

Gift Hero uses US currency by default for saving and displaying prices.

You can set a preferred currency under Account Settings. This will help us select the correct currency when you save products using our browser extension or our mobile app. It will also become the default when you paste a URL or create a custom gift.

If your currency isn’t currently supported, please send us a message using the chat icon, or email us at [email protected].

Gift Hero Helper app for iOS and Android

Gift Hero has a helper app available for iOS and Android devices.

With Gift Hero Add to Wish List, you can quickly and easily add gifts to your wish lists from websites and apps without leaving them. Continue to use your browser when creating and managing your wish lists.

You can find the links to download the app here.

Creating Gifts

When you tap “Add a Gift” you will see two options.

1. Copy and paste the URL: Paste a URL and we’ll do our best to grab the gift’s information. You’ll be able to confirm or correct the details before saving the gift.
2. Create a Gift: Add something that does or does not have a link online. The item’s information is completely customizable, you can even upload your own image! Watch this quick video to see “create a gift” and “share” in action.

Can I add products from any site?

You bet! Add any item that can be found online. We’ve also made it possible for you to create a gift in case you want an item that does not have a specific weblink associated with it. For example: you may want your friends and family to know you’d like a babysitter, or a gift card to the local store that isn’t yet online.

How do I add an item?

You can easily add items to Gift Hero from anywhere in a variety of ways – copy & paste, browser extension, or with our mobile helper app.

We like to make this part especially convenient, so there are a handful of ways to add a gift. First you need to create a wish list.

Copy & Paste a URL

Go to your wish list and tap Add a Gift. Paste the URL of any product on the web into the box provided. Check over the price, name, and picture and then save it. You can also tap Create a Gift to write in anything you want or need.
