A birthday wishlist, minus the awkwardness
When someone asks “what do you want for your birthday?”, send them a link. Friends see what’s still up for grabs, claim it quietly, and you get a countdown to the day.

Tips for a birthday list people will use
- Keep it short-ish. Eight to fifteen ideas is plenty. Long lists get skimmed.
- Add a few small things. Not everyone wants to spend a lot. Socks, a good pen, a favorite snack: all fair game.
- Link the exact thing. Paste a product link from any shop, or just describe it if you don’t mind where it comes from.
- Use notes for details. Sizes, “any color but beige,” or “second-hand is great.”
- Experiences count. Concert tickets, a class, or “dinner somewhere new with you” work well on a list too.
Making a list for someone else
- Parents often make a birthday list for a child to share with other families before a party. Just make the list in your name and share the link.
- Group gift? One person can claim the item and add a name like “Sam + Priya” so everyone knows it’s covered.
Questions
Can I see who claimed what?
Not unless you turn it on. After your birthday you can flip a switch to see claims, which helps with thank-yous.
Can I add things later?
Yes. Open your private edit link any time to add, reorder or remove items. Guests always see the latest version.
How long does the list last?
Until you delete it from your edit link. For next year, start a fresh list so old claims don’t carry over.
