How to share a FirstCry wishlist

FirstCry does not use the word wishlist at all, which is the first reason people cannot find theirs. Where it actually lives, and what you can send somebody.

It is not called a wishlist

This is the whole of why people cannot find it. FirstCry calls its saved-items list a Shortlist, and it is consistent about it: checked on 29 October 2026, the word “wishlist” does not appear on the FirstCry home page at all. Not in the navigation, not in the account menu, not once in 136,469 bytes of markup.

So if you have been looking for a heart icon and a wishlist page because every other Indian shop has one, you have been looking for something that does not exist under that name. The thing you want is at firstcry.com/myshortlist, and the page title is “My Shortlist”.

Where it lives

Sign in, then reach it from your account, or go to the address directly. Items go onto it from the product page.

It is tied to your account rather than to the browser, so it follows you between the app and the desktop site, and it is empty on a device you have not signed in on — which is the other reason people think they have lost it.

Why there is no link you can send

This one you can check yourself without taking anybody’s word for it, and it is the clearest example of the pattern on any Indian shop.

The address is firstcry.com/myshortlist. That is the entire URL. There is no account name in it, no number, no token — nothing that identifies whose shortlist is being asked for. The site works out who you are from your session and shows you yours.

Which means the URL cannot do what sharing needs. If you send it to your sister, she does not see your shortlist; she sees hers, or an empty page, or a sign-in prompt. The link is not broken and the setting is not hidden. A list addressed by “whoever is logged in” has no way to name a particular person’s list, so there is nothing for a share button to produce.

What you can send

A single product. Product pages are public, they have real addresses, and the share action on one gives you an ordinary link that opens for anybody — no app, no account.

For one or two things that is the end of the problem. It stops working at about the fifth link, which is roughly where a nursery list starts, and that gap is the real subject of this guide.

Why this bites hardest on a baby list

FirstCry’s lists are not usually one person deciding alone. A pram, a car seat and a cot get discussed with a partner, a mother, a mother-in-law and whoever is giving the shower present, and several of those people are not FirstCry users and are not about to become ones to look at a list.

A shortlist that only its owner can open is a poor fit for that, and it is why FirstCry links end up pasted into a family WhatsApp group one at a time — where they arrive as six separate previews, scroll away by the evening, and cannot be replied to individually.

Keeping the list outside the shop

The alternative is to collect the links somewhere that is not owned by a retailer. One thing is worth knowing before you pick a tool for it.

Tools that read a product page from a server get refused by some Indian shops, and FirstCry is not one of them: measured on 25 October 2026 it returned a full, readable page — 136,464 bytes with 11,341 characters of visible text — to a plain automated request. So a paste-a-link tool should fill in the title, price and picture for a FirstCry product without any special handling.

Myntra and Flipkart are the ones to test a tool against, not this. What you want to see from a tool there is an honest failure rather than a saved item with a title and no price.
