A birthday wish list, so the party can just be a party
A party with the class, a meal with the grandparents or your own birthday: with one shared list, everyone knows what the birthday boy or girl would love, and what has already been bought.

Why a birthday wish list?
Classmates’ parents often ask: “What would they like?” With a link to the list, you have an answer straight away, and they can see what others have already bought.
Huglist remembers what each person has been given before. So next year you can see what the birthday child already has, and simply carry open wishes over to the new list.
How it works, in 3 steps
Make the list
Choose who it’s for and the date. Paste links from online shops or type a wish yourself.
Share the link
In the class group chat, the family group or by email. Nobody needs an account.
Tick off and say thank you
Givers tick off what they buy and can leave a short message. After the party, you can see who gave what: handy for the thank-yous.
💡 Tips for a birthday wish list
- For a class party: add mostly smaller presents, around the amount that’s usual in the class.
- For grandparents or godparents, it can be something bigger, perhaps as a group gift.
- Does your child love a particular series (books, building sets, figures)? Mention which ones they already have.
- Add their age: it helps givers choose something suitable.
- A day out, a course or a theme park voucher also make lovely presents.
- After the birthday, close the list: you get an overview so you can thank everyone.
Frequently asked questions
Can I share the list in the class group chat?
Yes. Just share the link. Whoever opens it sees the list and can tick things off, without an account. We don’t show personal details such as a date of birth in the link preview.
What happens to wishes nobody bought?
They’re kept. When you make a new list for the same person, we suggest bringing them along.
Do gift-givers need to sign up?
No. Whoever gets the link opens the list in their browser and ticks off what they’re buying. No app, no password. Only the person who makes a list needs an account.
Can I make a list for my own birthday too?
Of course. On your own list you don’t see what has already been bought, so you still get a surprise.
Is Huglist really free?
Yes. There are no ads and we don’t sell any data. If someone buys a gift through a link on Huglist, some shops pay us a small commission. Neither you nor your gift-givers pay anything extra.
