Because when someone smashes a milestone, the last thing they need is a mystery mug.
There’s something worth celebrating at every stage – whether it’s the end of exams, the start of a new career, or the sweet sweet freedom of retirement. With Wishes & Wants, you can create gift lists that help people give the kind of presents that really mean something. (No offence to the “World’s Best Employee” paperweight.)
Graduations
Mortarboards, gowns, and one final hurrah. Graduation gifts should be thoughtful, practical, or just plain fun – but how’s anyone meant to know what you need next? A wishlist makes it easy to ask for things that’ll help with post-uni life: kitchen gear, travel funds, grown-up clothes, or just something lovely as a well-done-you.
New Job
New job, who dis? Whether it’s a first role, a dream gig, or a bold career pivot, a gift list can help friends and family celebrate the moment. Think smart workwear, a fancy lunchbox, a coffee machine, or even a “You’ve got this” desk plaque. Not everyone wants flowers. (Though we do love flowers.)
Promotions
Level up your life – and your gift game. A promotion is a big deal, and often a great excuse for a celebratory wishlist. Add in the things you wouldn’t buy for yourself: noise-cancelling headphones, that desk upgrade, or an “I run this place now” mug. If you're the one celebrating someone else, it’s also a great way to avoid guessing what they'll love.
Retirements
Bye spreadsheets, hello slippers. Retirement is one of life’s big milestones – and it deserves gifts that match the moment. A wishlist can help guide friends, colleagues, and family toward experiences, hobbies, or heartfelt keepsakes that say “we’re proud of you” without saying “here’s a novelty alarm clock you’ll never use.”
Passing Exams or Driving Tests
The struggle was real – and now it’s time to celebrate. Whether it’s GCSEs, A-levels, uni exams, or finally getting that driving licence, a gift list is a fun way to let loved ones know exactly how to reward your hard work. Add books, gadgets, driving accessories, or just your favourite kind of chocolate. You’ve earned it.
