How to Share on The Gift Guide
Sharing profiles, gift ideas or items from your wish list is simple on The Gift Guide.
How to Share a Profile
The “share” feature allows users to send profiles to those in or outside The Gift Guide community. For example, if a friend’s birthday is coming up and a loved one is struggling with what to get, you can share the friend’s profile with that loved one to give them ideas (who is either not using The Gift Guide or not following that friend).
1. Search for the user you want to share
Click the search button in the top right hand corner of the website. Enter the name of the user you wish to share, then hit “enter” on your keyboard or click on the search button.
