Wish lists: collect wishes, keep the surprise

Calendar & to-dos3 min read · updated October 2026

Add your own wishes

  1. Open More › Birthdays, tap the Wish list card at the top, then My wishes.
  2. Tap Add wish and enter the wish, with a link, price, size and note if you like.
  3. Under Which lists? choose Birthday, Christmas, Easter or your own list. One wish can be on several lists.

The Always welcome switch turns a wish into a standing wish, such as “Lego always works”. Standing wishes can't be reserved.

Get something for someone

  1. On the Wish list card, tap the person's profile picture.
  2. Tap a wish, then I'll take care of it. Everyone except that person now sees “Reserved by” with your name.
  3. Once you've got the present, tap Mark as given. Release frees a wish up again.

Good to know

  • Whoever made the wish never sees what's reserved or given, not on a child's device either.
  • If someone has already reserved it, Take over lets you take it on; Beeside asks first.
  • Sizes keeps clothing and shoe sizes for each person, with the date they were last updated.
  • Kids add their own wishes in the kids' world, under My wishes.
  • When someone reserves one of your child's wishes, you get a notification, never at night. Turn it off under More › Settings › Notifications with Kids' wishes.
