Make A Private Wish List With Google DocsAdam DachisPublished 10 years ago: December 9, 2011 at 3:00 am Share Wish lists are the obvious way to let people know what you want for Christmas and where to get it, but they come with a few problems. Heres how you can put together a wish list using Google Docs that your loved ones can use to track the gifts they get you. You can add new items to your wish list at any time, but youll never see what people are getting you. Show Well walk through two methods using Google Docs. The first is the easy way. The second is the awesome way. (We prefer the awesome way.) The Easy WayThe easiest way to put together your super secret wish list is to simply create a spreadsheet in Google Docs. Just make one with the following fields:
Once youve created this list and added everything you want, just share the spreadsheet with everyone who might want to know what to get you this Christmas. Once you do, set someone else as the owner of the spreadsheet. This will allow you to remove yourself as the owner and have no access to your own document, keeping all activity a secret until you start unwrapping your presents. The Awesome WayThe above method is very simple, but there is a much more useful and awesome method you can employ without doing much more work. Instead of creating a spreadsheet, create a form in Google Docs. You can make the form with the same fields listed above and remove yourself as an owner in the same way. (Note: Youll need to remove yourself from the spreadsheet the form creates, as the form cant have that kind of restriction even if you wanted it.) The upside, however, is that you can still add items via the form afterwards. This is great if you find something you want after you lose access to your wish list because you can just add it. Youll never see any of the activity on the spreadsheet the form creates, but you can still alter it. Thats all there is to it. Itll take you just a few minutes and make it much easier for your family to buy you what you want this Christmas. View Comments
