In my experience, the standard Walmart 'List' feature is a total trap for birthdays. Over the years, I've learned that lists don't track what's been bought, which leads to double gifts. You gotta use the 'Registry' feature instead. I also started using a handy tool I found to keep things straight. Just a heads up tho, if you don't toggle it to public, your family will be locked out.

Oh man, I totally feel your pain! Last year for my sons party I was in the exact same boat, just staring at my phone and wondering if I was crazy. I was so worried about getting three of the same Lego sets, it was seriously stressing me out lol. Living out in the sticks makes Walmart basically our lifeline, so I had to figure it out fast! You actually want to make sure you're using the Registry feature instead of just a basic List if you want that tracker that prevents double-buying. If people just look at a list, they wont know what is already gone. Here is exactly what I did to make it work:

• Go to Services at the bottom of the app.
• Tap Registries and Lists and start a Birthday Registry.
• Move your items over there. I suggest adding the Barbie Dreamhouse if you can, but also those 10 dollar Barbie Fashionistas are such a win for budget gifts!
• Click the Share button at the top right and you can text the link directly to your family. Honestly, it is amazing because it updates in real-time when someone buys something. No more returning three identical dolls! My daughter also loved the Squishmallows they have for like 12 dollars, they make such easy additions to the list. It really saved my sanity and made the whole party prep way more fun instead of a total chore!
