I'm experimenting with a Wish List application, in an attempt to solve the mess that is our family gift exchange.

Any time one of us buys a gift for anyone, emails fly to everyone else in the family telling them what we bought.

If someone wants to add to their list, they have to email everyone the new item.

Soon, there's gift related emails all over the place... who knows what everyone wants and what's already been bought.

It looks like the app myGifts does most of what we'd want... it handles group registries, allows people to claim gifts (without the list owner being able to see), add new ones, send the list to others via email, and the like.

It's a little late for Christmas this year, but I added a few items to it that aren't on any other lists, we'll see how it goes.
