Birthday wish list

There are already more bottles of your favorite whiskey in your liquor cabinet than is good for your health. Your friends know this and are longing for gift ideas. Don't want to leave them out in the cold with a "Surprise me!"? Then give them the opportunity to get to know your desires! By creating a birthday wish list you can let your relatives and friends know that you've recently become interested in a new movie genre or that you've discovered a new perfume.

Your advantages with the birthday wish list

Wishbob's online wish list offers you many advantages. You can avoid getting the same gift twice. With a birthday wish list, this problem is a thing of the past. No more embarrassing gifts! You've probably been there: you get an outfit that you don't really like, but you pretend to like it. You can avoid this dilemma with a birthday wish list. By sharing your wishes on your Wishbob list, your friends and family can give you gifts that you really like. This makes both you and the gift givers happy.

Another advantage of an online wish list is its flexibility. You can update it over breakfast or at the park. If you think of a book you'd like to read or if your sports preferences change, you can update your wish list immediately. This way, you can be sure that your list is always up to date and that your friends and family know what you want.

The advantages for the recipients of the wish list

Wishbob's wish list revolutionizes the way gifts are chosen by friends and family. The handy online wish list makes finding the perfect gift a breeze. No more long deliberations about which gift you like best, no more frantic searches in crowded malls or endless browsing in online stores. Instead of standing in front of shelves, your loved ones can access your wish list from the comfort of their own home. They can take their time and decide what they want to get you.

Wishbob's online wish list offers a wide range of options. You can add products to your wish list from any online store, as well as the store around the corner. This way, you can make sure your friends have a variety of gift options to choose from. Whether it's books, electronics, fashion or household items: Wishbob's wish list has no limits. Wishbob makes giving gifts to your friends and family a stress-free and uncomplicated affair. Gone are the days of worrying about the right perfume or the perfect sweater.

The personal birthday wish list is the best wish list!

You are unique and distinctive. Your individuality shows in the way you dress, the books you read, and the furnishings that surround you. So why not create a Wishbob wish list that reflects who you are? The personalized birthday wish list is the best wish list!

Personalization is at the heart of creating your wish list. Start by adding a photo that shows who you are. It could be a snapshot of you playing your favorite sport or a special memory from your last beach vacation. This image will make your wish list unique and make your friends and family smile.

But it's not just the image that makes your Wishbob wish list personal, it's also the occasion text. This is where you can let your thoughts run free and write a text that reflects your character. Whether it's a witty saying, an inspirational quote, or a heartfelt message, the choice is yours. Your family and friends will love reading your thoughts about your wish list.

Of course, the heart of your wish list are your gift wishes. This is where you tell your loved ones what makes you happy. Add things that match your current interests and preferences. Wishbob's online wish list may include your favorite treat that you enjoy whenever you take a little time out. Or maybe there's room for a gift certificate to that seafood restaurant you've always wanted to go to with your friends.

Your online birthday wish list gives you the opportunity to share your travel desires and culinary preferences in an engaging way. It allows your loved ones to understand you better and choose the perfect birthday gift for you. So get started: show your loved ones who you are with your wish list. Indulge yourself on your birthday the way you want to!

The birthday wish list for sustainability

By creating a wish list for your birthday, you can influence sustainable, environmentally conscious and ethical consumption. For example, on your Wishbob wish list, you can choose items that are made from recycled materials or produced under fair labor conditions. By prioritizing these aspects on your wish list, you send a clear message to your friends and family that you value sustainable living.

Another way to promote eco-conscious consumption is to add experiential gifts to your Wishbob wish list instead of material goods. For example, you can ask someone to give you a ticket to a concert of your favorite band, or time together in the form of a city trip or sports activity. In this way, you reduce the amount of new stuff you buy and promote valuable experiences instead.

Share and manage wish list

Create & customize your wish list

How do I create a wish list?

You create your wish list by providing an e-mail address.

  • Name: This will be displayed in the banner of your wish list, e.g. "David Williams" or "Ava and Samuel".
  • E-Mail: The link to your wish list will be sent to this e-mail address. Please be sure to keep the e-mail or save the link!
  • Wish list title: This will be displayed in the banner of your wish list, e.g. "We're getting married" or "Liam's 10th birthday wish list".
  • Date: A date is optional and will be displayed in the banner of your wish list. It is usually the day of the occasion that is being celebrated.

For which occasion can I create a wish list?

You can create wish lists for any occasion (e.g. kids' birthday, birthday, wedding, Christmas, baby shower, Easter, first day of school, baptism, confirmation, graduation, housewarming or anniversary). If the occasion you want is not available, you can use "Other" to create a wish list for any event.

Can I create my own design for my wish list?

Yes, you can personalize the design of your wish list.

  • When you create your list, you choose your own title. It will be displayed in the banner of your wish list.
  • In the "Occasion text" field, you can leave a personal message for your family and friends. If you don't have time to write your own text, you can choose from several templates.
  • For the visual design, you can upload a banner image that fits the occasion – whether Christmas, birthday, wedding or children's birthday – or select a banner from a wide range of templates.
  • Finally, if you want to give your wish list an even more personal touch, you can upload a profile picture.

What do I write in the occasion text?

By writing a personal message to the recipients of your wish list, you can make them smile or even inspire them. You can also simply thank them, for example for their friendship or for welcoming your new-born child into the world. If you don't have enough time to write your own text, Wishbob lets you choose from several templates.

Adding wishes & gift ideas

What gift items can I add to my wish list?

Yes, you can collect any type of gift on your wish list – whether from online shops, local stores or as a personal wish idea. The Wishbob wishlist is store-independent and universally usable.

  • Products and gift cards from any online shop can be added to your wishlist with a single click - fully flexible and without being tied to any specific retailer.
  • You can manually add items from any local store to your wishlist - as well as non-material or personal gift ideas.

What's the easiest way to add wishes in the Wishbob app?

If you want to add gift items to your wish list with just one click, you have the following options:

Is there a gift search in the wish list?

Yes, you can search for gifts directly in your wish list – depending on your country at Amazon or other partners, including the usual search categories.

Are there curated gift ideas in the wish list?

Yes, in your wish list you will find curated gift ideas with the labels "TOP IDEA". These mark independently selected and tested top products – ideal if you are still looking for inspiration.

Why are product details sometimes not loaded automatically?

Some shops occasionally update their page structure, which means our technology may not always recognize product details immediately. We are continuously working to support new shops and optimize existing ones. If capturing details doesn't work, you can simply add the product manually.

Why does one of my wish lists have a red border?

That is your active wish list – the one you opened most recently. When you save a product in a shop via the Button or Share function, it is automatically added to this wish list.

Organizing & managing wishes

Can I show which wishes are most important to me?

Yes, when adding or editing a wish you can set its priority (neutral / important / very important). Wishes with high priority are marked with a heart on your wish list.

Can I sort my wishes?

Yes, you can sort your list however you like – for example by price, alphabetically or by shop name.

Can I hide individual wishes?

Yes, click on the "Wish options" dropdown menu for the wish in question and deactivate it. It will then no longer be visible to guests – but you can still edit it.

Can I move wishes between different wish lists?

Yes, you can copy or move wishes from one wish list to another if they were created with the same e-mail address. Click on the "Wish options" dropdown menu in the respective wish.

You can only use this function if you have confirmed your e-mail address in the "Wish list overview" or signed in with Social Login.

Managing & editing your wish list

Can I change my e-mail address later?

Yes, this is possible via the "Wish list" button above the banner. Click "Edit" in the dropdown menu. Please note: the new address will automatically apply to all wish lists linked to the previous address.

Can I use lists with different e-mail addresses?

That is possible, but you have to sign out and sign back in under "My Wishbob" each time to switch between those lists. Tip: use the same address everywhere – then everything is conveniently in one place.

Can I let other people edit my wish list together with me?

Yes, you can share the admin link of your wish list with other people – they can then edit the list together with you. You will find the function in the dropdown menu of the "Wish list" button.

Can I temporarily hide my wish list?

Yes, click on the dropdown menu in the "Wish list" button and select "deactivate". Your wish list will then only be visible to you – you can still edit it and reactivate it at any time.

Can I delete my wish list?

Yes, click on the dropdown menu in the "Wish list" button. There you will find the "Delete" option. Please note: deletion is permanent.

Sharing your wish list & reserving gifts

How can I share my wish list?

You can share your wish list with one click via email, messenger (WhatsApp, Telegram) and social media (Facebook). You can copy the URL and send it via text message, for example. You can also download a QR code for your wish list to print on an invitation, among other things.

You will find the corresponding share buttons above your wish list banner.

Can my friends and family reserve wishes on my wishlist?

Yes, your friends, relatives and grandparents can reserve wishes without signing in. After opening the link to your wish list, they can browse it. When they find a wish they would like to fulfil, they mark it as "Wish fulfilled!". This way duplicate gifts are avoided.

Can I see which gifts have been reserved — and who reserved them?

Via the "Fulfilled wishes" button in your wish list, you can see which wishes have been marked as purchased. If you have enabled the option for gift givers to leave their name, you can also see who reserved which wish.

Can the person who created the wish list undo a reservation?

Yes, the "Wish fulfilled!" marking can be removed via the "Wish options" dropdown menu on the respective wish. The wish will then be shown as open again for your guests.

Can I follow the wish lists of friends?

Yes, once your e-mail address is confirmed, you will find the "Other wish lists" tab in your wish list overview. The lists of your friends and family are saved there.

Where do my gifts come from?

Wishbob is not a shop and does not ship products. Wishbob is a digital gift list for family and friends – you collect your wishes, and family and friends can fulfil them.

How is Wishbob funded?

Wishbob is funded via affiliate links. If a purchase is made via one of these links, Wishbob receives a commission. This does not result in any additional costs for users – and it allows Wishbob to continue offering the service free of charge.
