Get an email when a sold-out Christmas gift is back in stock

If the one thing on their list is sold out, you do not have to keep checking. Give WatchForMe the product page and we email you the moment it comes back, so you can order while there is still time before Christmas.

How to set it up

Paste the link to the sold-out product.
Say what you want, for example "tell me when this is back in stock" or "tell me when 'Sold out' disappears".
A free check confirms we can read the page before you pay.
When a check sees it back, you get an email with the link.

Tips for the holidays

Restocks can sell out within hours, so a faster check plan helps for very popular items.
If the same gift is sold at more than one store, watch each store's page; whichever comes back first wins.
A watch follows the product page as a whole, so it cannot single out one size or colour.
Check each store's last order date for Christmas delivery and plan around it.

Which stores work

Nike.com and Apple.com (price), IKEA.com (price and stock), many other brand stores that publish product data, any public web page for a phrase appearing or disappearing, and news topics. Amazon, pages behind a login, Walmart, Target prices, Home Depot, Costco and ticket sites are not supported. We tell you before you pay if a page will not work.

Let WatchForMe check it for you

Paste a link and say what you want in plain English. A free check confirms we can read the page before you pay. One-time payment, no account, no extension.

Questions

How quickly will I know?

Each watch is checked every 60 minutes on the $3 plan, every 30 minutes on $5, and every 15 minutes on $12. You get an email as soon as a check sees the change.

How long does a watch last?

30 days from when you set it, which covers the run-up to Christmas and the after-Christmas sales.

Do I need an account or app?

No. You get emails, and each email has the link back to the product.

What if the store is not supported?

The free check tells you before you pay. Amazon, pages behind a login and some large retailers cannot be watched.

Get a Black Friday reminder

We'll email you on Wednesday, November 25, so you can set your price-drop and restock watches before the sales start, and once more before Cyber Monday.
