Kids' Birthday Wish List for Gifts That Are Needed and Will Be Used

Add more adventures and things you need, skip duplicate toys, and keep birthday gifting effortless for everyone.

My Gift Hint helps you build a birthday wish list together with your kid, filled with things they would really love and use. Snap photos while you're out shopping, paste exact links while browsing online, and save helpful details like sizes and colors. Then share one simple link when party guests, grandparents, and friends ask what to buy.

One list for every birthday circle

Every child's birthday looks different — the wishlist bends to fit yours.

Party guests

Everyone invited to the party sees useful ideas in one place — from the class party to the big family celebration.

Family and friends

Share exact ideas across households, whether everyone lives nearby or celebrates from far away.

Grandparents

Give grandparents the exact toy, size or book to look for — no guesswork and no doubled-up gifts.

Shop together, build the list

Before the big day, snap photos of anything the birthday star points at in-store — the list builds itself.

How your online birthday wish list works

1. Create a profile and add a wish list to it

Sign up free in seconds, create a profile for yourself, your child or a family member, then add your wish list to the profile.

2. Add wanted items to your wish list

Paste a link from any store or snap a photo in-store. Add sizes, colours and notes so every detail is clear.

3. Share one simple link to share your wish list

Send the link by text, email or group chat. Family, friends and party guests don't need an account or app to open it.

4. Help your family and friends to choose

Guests claim what they plan to get so everyone knows it's taken — no duplicate presents, wasted money or unwanted gifts.

This is what party guests see — the invitation on top (the invitation is optional; you can share just a wish list), then every gift hint with photos, store, price and a claim button so nothing is bought twice.

Make every birthday gift easier to choose

A thoughtful list is not about asking for more. It is about giving people useful choices, reducing wasted time and money, and avoiding gifts that will be returned or left unused.

Sending invitations for the big day? Add the gift list to a free digital birthday invitation so the party details and the gift hints travel in one link.

Help one another to gift smarter.

  • Add choices at different prices so no guest feels pressured.
  • Keep ideas from different shops together instead of scattered through group chats.
  • Use claims to help prevent duplicate presents while keeping the final choice a surprise.
  • Add an experience, a savings goal or a favourite charity when another physical gift is not wanted.

Birthday wishlist questions

Is the birthday wishlist free?
Yes. My Gift Hint is free to use, and creating your first birthday wish list takes only a few minutes.
Do family and friends need an account to see the list?
No. Anyone you share the link with can open it in their browser without creating an account or downloading anything.
Can I add gifts from any store?
Yes. Paste a shop link or take a photo in-store, then include the price, size, colour and any useful notes.
Can adults use it too, or is it only for kids?
Yes — and even pets can use it. But My Gift Hint is built first for kids' birthdays.
How does a birthday wishlist prevent duplicate gifts?
A guest claims an item after choosing it, so other guests know that gift is already taken. What it is stays a lovely surprise for the birthday person.
Can I ask for charity donations or savings instead of gifts?
Yes. Add an experience, a savings goal for something big, or a link to a cause your family supports instead of — or alongside — physical gifts.
Can I share the list with a birthday party invitation?
Yes. My Gift Hint can build a digital invitation with the party details and a button to the gift list, so guests get everything in one place.
