Because life doesn’t always follow a neat little calendar – and that’s exactly why it’s brilliant.
From the unexpected to the unconventional, these are the moments that deserve a toast, a laugh, and maybe a cheeky little wishlist. Whether you're moving abroad, newly single, or throwing a party just because – Wishes & Wants is here for the wild ones, the weird ones, and the ones that just need a pick-me-up.
Divorce Parties
Fresh start? Let’s celebrate it properly. Whether you're throwing a bash or just want to mark your next chapter with something fabulous, a divorce party gift list is the way to go. Add prosecco, power tools, glittery outfits – whatever fits your “new me” energy. You’ve earned this moment, love.
Pets’ Birthdays
We absolutely support spoiling your fur baby. Birthdays, gotcha days, or just Tuesday – your pet deserves the finer things. From squeaky toys and treats to ridiculously fancy beds, let your pet’s fan club (aka friends and family) chip in with a wishlist. Bonus points for matching outfits.
Moving Abroad
Big life change? Big gift energy. A moving-abroad wishlist is perfect for practical bits (travel gear, plug adapters) and sentimental touches (framed photos, home comforts). Whether you're starting a new job, studying, or chasing sunshine, this list helps loved ones support your journey without sending things that won’t fit in a suitcase.
Starting Uni / Moving to Halls
Welcome to your “how do I adult?” era. A uni wishlist helps students prep with the things they’ll actually need: bedding, cookware, stationery, caffeine, emotional support snacks. Great for students to share with parents, and for parents to avoid buying four kettles and no plates.
Breakups (hello self-care gift list)
The heart needs healing – and maybe a weighted blanket, a face mask, and an empowering playlist. A breakup gift list is self-care in clickable form. Whether you’re making one for yourself or your best mate, it’s a thoughtful way to say: “You’ve got this – and also, you deserve lovely things.”
