How it works

A list follows its event, from the idea to the thank-you.

A CadeauZ list starts with an occasion, opens to the relatives you choose, then, once the celebration is over, reveals who gave what. Here is each step, and who sees what.

Who sees what
The five stages of a list

What happens, step by step

  1. 1

    You create the list for an event

    An occasion, a date: birthday, Christmas, a new baby, a wedding… For recurring holidays, it is prepared for you as the date approaches.

    Visible to your relatives

  2. 2

    You note your ideas on it

    A shop link, a photo, a simple idea. Each idea stays a draft until you approve it.

    Draft until approved

  3. 3

    You choose your guests

    By circle, by email or by link. Every access requires a FamiZ sign-in: a list is never public.

    Your guests, nobody else

  4. 4

    They reserve, quietly

    Everyone sees what is taken, reserves, suggests an alternative or an idea that is not on the list, pledges a share in a group gift.

    Hidden from you until after the celebration

  5. 5

    After the celebration, you know who to thank

    Two weeks after the event, enough time for every gift to be given, the reservations are revealed: who gave what, and who chipped in to a group gift.

Who sees what

The surprise, settled once and for all

"After the celebration" starts two weeks after the date of the event, a delay you can set on each list. The amounts of a group gift stay between those who chip in: you know who, not how much.

Frequently asked questions

What people often ask us

Do you need an account to see a list?

Yes: a FamiZ account, free and ad-free. That is what guarantees a list only goes around among the people invited.

Can I find out who reserved what?

Not before the celebration. Two weeks after the event, a delay you can set, the list reveals who gave what, so that you can thank everyone.

What if two relatives want to give the same thing?

The first to reserve wins: the gift shows as taken for the others. One idea per theme, construction sets, books about space, can stay "can be given in several copies": everyone adds, as an alternative, what they took.

Can a relative suggest an idea?

Yes, off the list: the other guests can see it, you never can. If it is given to you, you will find out after the celebration.

Does CadeauZ collect the money for a group gift?

No. A share is a pledge: you settle up between yourselves, outside the app.

Do you have to redo your list for every holiday?

No. For each holiday you chose, an empty list awaits you as the date approaches, your relatives already invited. A notification tells you when it opens. Nothing stops you from opening it earlier to get ahead.
