Our Christmas List
Christmas lists for the whole family on one link. Nobody doubles up, and the surprise stays a surprise.
What it is
Our Christmas List puts a family's Christmas lists on one link. A parent writes each child's list, sends the link to the grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins, and whoever chooses a present reserves it, so everyone else sees it taken and nobody buys the same thing twice. The child never sees what has been reserved. Relatives never make an account: they open the link, write their name, and that is all.
It runs at ourchristmaslist.com. One child's list is free. Family Edition, for every child, a page for the whole family, posters, gift tags and thank-you cards, is $7.99 once and covers every Christmas.
One link
A relative opens the link and sees what is still open. One tap reserves a present, and for something bigger the family can chip in together.
The family page
Every child's list on one page, a ticket each, for the grandparents. Relatives can add themselves and their own ideas to it.
Posters
Five designs for the fridge or the wall, each with the child's name and wishes. A code for visiting relatives to scan is there if the parents want it.
Thank-you cards
Gift tags already say who each present is from. After Christmas, each thank-you card already says what that person gave.
One link for the whole family, and the surprise stays a surprise.
The design
It is a Christmas card before it is a list. The first thing anyone sees, on a phone in a family chat, is a flat field of green with a few shapes cut from paper and laid down by hand: a Santa, a present, a star, a snowflake.
The people using it are a parent in the busiest month of the year, a grandparent on a phone, and an uncle who wants to be done in a minute. So every screen asks one question and offers one thing to do. Buttons say what they do in words, and when something cannot be done, a sentence says why. There are no accounts for relatives, no settings to learn, and nothing to explain: the list, a button, a name.
Scale does the expressive work. A child's name can be set as large as the page will hold, and a wish is set at the size of a sentence you would say aloud. Colour is kept to a few jobs: green for the field, red for the one thing to do and the top wish, and gold, pink and blue for the cut paper.
The home page opens with the product in one moment. The present drops, Santa rises behind it, a wish slides up, and Granny's stamp lands on it. It plays once and then holds still, and for anyone who has asked their phone for less motion it is simply there.
Built on KhannaOffice System
Our Christmas List is built on KhannaOffice System, and the System is its structure. Every page stands on the same fixed module as this site: whole columns across, whole lines down, so a wish card, a ticket and a poster all keep one rhythm at any width. It is set in Suisse Int'l in a single weight, and its green and red are the office's own.
The System also sets how it behaves. Things arrive once and settle, rather than moving for their own sake. What the parents keep, who is getting what, what was spent, what is wrapped, is kept as a ledger. And it speaks in sentences: a refusal says what happened and what to do next, never a code. Inside that structure the product is free to be expressive, with scale, colour fields and the cut paper.
