Actually, don't panic please. They're all very nice changes - we promise.
First of all, there's the new menu:
Things I Own = Your Portfolio. Nothing was changed, removed, or messed up. We've just renamed it.
Wishlist = A place to keep the items you WANT, but don't have yet.
Giftlist = A way to find out EXACTLY what your friends and family want this Holiday Season WITHOUT ruining the surprise.
Product Catalog = a way to QUICKLY add new items from handbags to cars to your Things I Own page, Giftlist, or Wishlist.
What we're most excited about is the Giftlist. Here's how the Giftlist works:
Say you have no idea what your sister wants for Christmas and decide to anonymously send her a Giftlist.
You click on Giftlist on the menu and see this:
Click the "+Add Giftlist" button and you'll be asked who the Giftlist is for and what the special event is so you can keep track:
After you save, you'll be taken to the Product Catalog where you can fill up your Giftlist. Search for items or browse by category:
Your sister likes silver - maybe she'll want a ring? You find a likely suspect in the Product Catalog, then decide to add it by clicking the "+ Giftlist" button:
Ok, now we're getting started. You add a few different items to your Giftlist - all the things she might want this Christmas - and when you click on it, it looks like this:
You click Ask Recipient and choose whether to send it anonymously or not:
They'll get the email, sign up for MyThings and rank your items. When they do so, you'll get a message and can check to see what they want:
She tells you she loves the camera! You click on the Buy It button and we take you to Shopping.com or Kelkoo.com (depending on your location) to find out the best prices and locations.
And you know exactly what to get. Give it a try!
