Never forget a birthday: reminders and gift ideas in one place

Beeside guides · updated October 2026

You don't forget your godmother's birthday, you just remember it a day too late. A reminder two weeks before leaves time for a present.

Add once, reminded every year

Under birthdays you add a name and date, the year is optional. You choose the reminder: 30, 14, 7, 3 or 1 day before or on the day, with 14 and 3 days as the default. It arrives from 8am: “Godmother Sandra's birthday is in 3 days. Got a gift idea yet?”

Gift ideas per person

  • Note ideas right on the person, with a link and a price note.
  • Ideas are private by default, so the person you're buying for doesn't see them.
  • One swipe moves an idea along: idea, bought, given.

Birthdays of your family members appear on their own, and nobody gets reminded of their own birthday.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to know the birth year?

No, the year is optional. With a year, Beeside shows the age.
