Birthday wishlist
A birthday wishlist that answers the question for you
Instead of replying to "what do you want?" ten separate times, send one link. Add gifts from any shop, at any price, and still be surprised on the day.

Three steps
- 1
Start a birthday list
Give it a name and decide who can see it — public, friends-only, or private.
- 2
Add things by pasting links
From any shop. The image, title, and price come across automatically, so the list is quick to build.
- 3
Send the link
Anyone can open it in a browser. When someone buys something it is marked for them, not for you.
Why a list beats being asked
The honest problem with birthdays is that the question “what do you want?” is hard to answer on demand. You think of things in June and forget them by November. A list you add to whenever something occurs to you is a much better record than whatever you can recall while someone is waiting for a reply.
It also helps the person buying. A list with a spread of prices lets a close friend and a distant cousin both find something appropriate without either having to guess your budget expectations.
Range matters more than length
A useful birthday list is not a long one — it is a varied one. A few small things, a few mid-range, and one item you would never buy yourself. That last one is what people club together for.
Use the ordering to signal priority: drag what you actually want to the top. Most people read the first three items and stop.
Letting friends contribute
Friends can suggest items on your list, and you choose whether to accept. It is a low-friction way for someone who has spotted the perfect thing to put it in front of you without spoiling it — and the list stays yours rather than becoming a group document.
Beyond birthdays
The same list works year-round. Keep one general list going and add a seasonal Christmas list in the autumn, or read more about how the app works.
Birthday wishlist questions
- How do I make a birthday wishlist?
- Create a list called something like "Birthday", paste in links to things you would like, and share the link with whoever asks what you want. It takes a couple of minutes.
- Is it rude to send people a wishlist?
- Most people find it a relief. They were going to ask anyway, and a list gives them a range of options and price points rather than putting them on the spot.
- Will I know what I am getting?
- No, and that is the point. Purchases stay hidden from you — including who bought what — until the reveal date you pick. Everyone else can see what is taken.
- Can I make a birthday list for my child?
- Yes. Keep a separate list per child, share it with relatives, and collaborate with a partner so you are both adding to the same list.
- Can people suggest things for my list?
- Yes. Friends can suggest items and you decide whether to accept them, so the list still ends up being yours.
