Because babies don’t come with instructions – but thoughtful gifts definitely help.
Whether you're expecting your first tiny human, throwing a baby shower, or celebrating a christening, Wishes & Wants is here to make gifting as joyful and fuss-free as possible. You’ve got enough to think about – let us handle the “What should we get them?” part.
Baby Showers
One of the most exciting (and slightly overwhelming) parts of preparing for a baby is the baby shower. With a Wishes & Wants list, parents-to-be can gently guide guests away from seventeen muslin cloth sets and toward the bits they actually need – like that dreamy baby monitor or the changing bag that doesn’t scream “nappy explosion.”
It’s easy to share your list with friends and family, so everyone feels confident they’re gifting something helpful, cute, or ideally both.
New Baby / Birth Gifts
Once baby arrives, the “What do you need?” messages start flooding in. Our gift lists are perfect for sharing exactly what you’re still missing – whether it’s more nappies, a white noise machine, or just snacks for the tired parents. Because let’s be honest, the baby might have 10 onesies already, but you’ve had 3 hours of sleep in 4 days.
Gender Reveals
Planning a gender reveal party or just want a soft, neutral gift list that works no matter what? You can create a list that fits your style – whether it’s sweet and subtle or full-on pink-and-blue confetti madness. From keepsakes to tiny outfits, you can keep guests from turning up with something wildly off-theme (like a drum kit).
Christenings / Naming Ceremonies
Whether you're doing it traditionally or making your own modern moment, a christening or naming ceremony is a lovely excuse to gather your favourite people – and many of them will want to bring a gift. Avoid the duplicate silver spoons and well-meant-but-random trinkets by making a list of keepsakes, books, or practical baby goodies that truly suit your style.
