Make an online birthday wishlist for your child
What do you give a child for their birthday? A free Listeca wishlist helps friends and family choose. Bring together gift wishes from different shops, share one link and let guests reserve their choice.
1. Create your free wishlist
Sign in with Google and give your list a recognisable title. You can add a message for your guests, such as a few words about your child's interests. Your list starts as a private draft. People with the full sharing link can view it once you publish it.
2. Add gifts from any shop
Paste a product link from bol.com, Amazon.nl or another shop. Check the name, photo and price before adding the gift. You can also start with Listeca's gift ideas for children aged 0 to 12.
Include gifts at different prices so everyone can find something within their budget. A book, puzzle or craft set can sit alongside a bigger present on the same list. Always check the manufacturer's age guidance and safety information when choosing toys.
3. Share your gift list on WhatsApp
Publish your list when it is ready and copy the sharing link. Send it to friends and family on WhatsApp or by email, perhaps with the birthday invitation. Guests open the list in their browser and do not need a Listeca account.
Anyone with the full link can open a published list, so share it only with your guests. You can keep adding gifts and editing unreserved gifts after sharing.
4. Let guests reserve a gift
Guests choose a gift and enter their name and email address to reserve it. Other guests can then see how many are still available. This helps prevent two people from giving the same present. As the owner, you can see who reserved each gift.
Reserving is not buying. The giver buys the present separately at the shop. To change or cancel a reservation, they can enter the matching email address on the shared list.
5. Keep everything together until after the birthday
Sign in with Google again to open your lists on another device. A published list stays shared for up to one year. You can archive it sooner to close the sharing link. The saved list and reservations then stay in your account.
Gift ideas for a first, second or third birthday
