Because every new door, fresh lick of paint, and cheese board deserves a great gift.
Whether you’re moving in, doing up, or dishing out canapés, *Wishes & Wants* helps make sure people bring something you’ll actually want to keep (and not just awkwardly “display when they visit”).
Housewarmings
New keys? New kettle! A housewarming gift list is perfect for those just-starting-out essentials – and the not-so-essentials that make a space feel like home. From mugs and throw pillows to plants, candles, and “please help me adult” kitchen gadgets, a wishlist saves your friends from showing up with a doorstop and a confused smile.
Home Renovations
If your life currently involves more dust than decor, we salute you. Whether you’re redoing the kitchen or braving a loft conversion, a renovation-themed list lets people treat you to practical bits, finishing touches, or even just a voucher for takeaway (you’re definitely not cooking tonight).
Also works brilliantly for “We survived the reno!” parties.
Garden Parties
Nothing says “summer’s here” like a slightly chaotic garden gathering. Whether you’re hosting or helping a friend plan theirs, a list of picnicware, BBQ tools, fairy lights, or garden games keeps the vibes strong and the duplicate citronella candles to a minimum.
Also good for hinting that yes, you’d quite like that adorable outdoor drinks trolley, thank you very much.
Dinner Parties (Host/Hostess Gifts)
Never show up empty-handed – but also, never panic-buy wine at the corner shop five minutes before arrival. Creating a gift list as a host (or asking your dinner party queen friend to) makes it super easy for guests to bring something that actually suits the evening. Think cheese boards, beautiful napkins, a new cocktail shaker, or your favourite bottle of something bubbly.
