From tiny humans to big kids at heart – Wishes & Wants is your secret weapon for birthday gifting brilliance.
Let’s face it: birthdays come around every year, and somehow people are still buying socks and novelty mugs. Not anymore. With Wishes & Wants, you can create the perfect birthday list (or find one for someone else) and make sure the celebration includes gifts worth unwrapping.
Kids' Birthdays
Whether they’re obsessed with dinosaurs, unicorns, or that one oddly catchy cartoon theme tune, kids know exactly what they want – and they’re not shy about it. Our platform lets parents, carers, or the little legend themselves create a wishlist full of toys, books, games and glittery things (or all of the above).
Bonus: Aunties, uncles, and family friends no longer have to play “guess what’s trending in seven-year-old land.”
Teen Birthdays
Teenagers are famously hard to buy for – and that’s putting it kindly. One minute they want AirPods, the next they’ve decided they’re into plants and crochet. Our gift lists are made for exactly this type of teenage mystery. They can curate their perfect vibe, aesthetic, and wishlist without having to drop vague hints or fake-smile their way through it all.
Grown-Up Birthdays
Adulting is hard, but birthday gifts don’t have to be. Whether you want a sleek coffee machine, a new blender, a pile of books, or just a bottle of gin that doesn’t come in a novelty bottle – your wishlist can say it all, without awkward WhatsApp chats about “What do you want this year?”
Wishes & Wants makes grown-up birthdays feel like they did when you were six – but with fewer balloons and more bath salts.
Milestone Birthdays
Turning 18, 21, 30, 40 (or even 100 – go you!) calls for gifts that are thoughtful, memorable, and ideally *not* another engraved wine glass. A milestone birthday wishlist helps people know what will actually make your day – from weekend trips and experiences to “that thing you’ve been hinting about since January.”
Less panic-buying from guests, more happy dancing from you.
For the "Birthday Month" People
We see you. The ones who turn a birthday into a month-long festival. And honestly? We support it. Create a mega-list with categories, colour-coded sections, and a subtle “don’t forget the card” reminder. Treat yourself – it’s your season.
Surprise Party Planning Made Easy
Want to surprise someone but have no clue what they actually want? If they’ve made a public gift list, you’re in luck. No more group chat chaos or asking their partner 42 questions. Just browse, buy, and be the best gift-giver in the room.
