Reserve and purchase items

How do I make sure someone else doesn’t purchase a gift I’ve purchased?

1. To mark an item reserved, click the lock icon next to the item you intend to purchase. This will lock it in for you. 
2. If you decide not to purchase that item, unlock it by clicking the release icon and it will become available to others. 
3. After you’ve purchased the gift, click on the purchase icon from either your Shopping List or Shop for Others page. 

Note: The recipient (list maker) cannot see this information on their My List view so they won’t know what’s been reserved or purchased.
