Mrs Berger is retiring after thirty years. Fifteen colleagues want to contribute, and one of them takes it in hand: she collects the wishes, creates the list and sends out the link. The recipient knows nothing and is not meant to see anything.
That turns around an assumption which holds on every other page. Everywhere else the owner is the person being given to. Here they are the organiser – and that changes which features count and which suddenly become superfluous.
Whoever collects for others has a problem the recipient never has: they have to keep track without being able to ask.
The list takes exactly those four things off the organiser, and it does so without her having to give up anything else.
The difference from every other list: these wishes were not chosen by the recipient but gathered by the colleagues.

The travel voucher in ten shares is the part everybody can join without anybody having to keep a list of amounts. That route is described in detail on the group gift page.
This is the point where this occasion differs from all the others, and it is easy to miss.
The case works with the defaults. Two points are worth a look.
The occasion where the list sits under a video and still nobody learns the address.
Ansehen → A country estate, 80 guestsThe classic: many guests, one date, and nobody should buy the same thing twice.
Ansehen → First outfit, 27 wishesMany small things, most of them wanted more than once - and the address is nobody else's business.
Ansehen →Yes. The plugin only knows the owner of a list; whether they are also the person being given to makes no difference. With a farewell gift the organiser keeps the list and receives the delivery.
To the owner of the list, that is to the organiser, with a masked address. Alternatively to the givers, if everybody is to bring their gift themselves.
No. The list carries the display name the organiser picks. Everything else is only there if she writes it into the description.
Not for this occasion. It hides the bought wishes from the owner, and here that is the organiser, who is meant to keep track.
Through the quantity: a travel voucher in ten shares at 40 € each lets everybody take part without anybody having to collect amounts.
As with any gift registry: a bought wish disappears for everybody else as soon as the order reaches the configured status.
For buying, yes. Only reserving requires an account.
