Kids wishlist
One list with specific items for grandparents, godparents and party guests — no more three identical toy trucks. Ideas by age, from one to 14.
- Free
- Right in your browser
- Sign in with Google or Apple
In short. Create a list in GIFTbase named after your child and add 10–15 age-appropriate gifts, from small things to one big wish. Send the link to relatives and to guests' parents three to four weeks before the party. The page opens in a browser without an account, gifts get reserved, and nothing arrives twice. At 13, teens can make their own wishlist.
No app needed
Your wishlist, right here in your browser
Make your list on this website: sign in with Google or Apple and start adding wishes. It's the same account as the GIFTbase app, so you can pick up on your phone anytime.
- Paste a link from Amazon, Target or any store, and the photo and price fill in on their own
- Send friends one link, and the list opens without signing up
- Friends reserve gifts, and you won't know who picked what
What a kids wishlist does
Gifts that fit the age
Relatives see what your kid is into right now and give things they'll actually play with.
A party without duplicates
Guests' parents reserve gifts, so two identical toy trucks never show up.
Nothing to install for guests
The list opens in a browser from the class group chat.
Birthdays at hand
Keep kids' and godchildren's birthdays in the GIFTbase calendar with reminders.
Where to find gifts for a kids' list
Kids' lists come from toy and big-box stores and marketplaces. A link becomes a card with the photo and price, which makes it easy for other parents.
LEGO
Amazon
Target
Walmart
Nike
Steam
Swim lessons, an after-school class or kids' theater tickets go on the list as a link too.
How to make a wishlist for your child
The main rule: you make the list together with your kid, and you paste the links.
Ask your kid
Let them tell you or draw what they want. For toddlers under three, parents write the list.
Find the items in stores
Create a list in GIFTbase with your kid's name and paste the links. Use the note for the age on the box, a color or a favorite character.
Mix budgets
Small things under $15 for classmates' parents, $20–40 gifts for family friends and one big wish for grandparents.
Share the link
In the class or daycare group chat with the party invitation, and with relatives directly.
Kids wishlist ideas by age
Wishlist for a 1-year-old
A push walker, a shape sorter, stacking rings, a busy board, board books, a soft ball, a musical toy with buttons. Practical picks: first shoes and a high chair. Gifts for a one-year-old girl or boy are nearly the same: at this age, anything that makes a sound, rolls or stacks wins.
Ages 2–3
A balance bike, big-brick building sets like LEGO DUPLO, a play kitchen or workbench, kinetic sand, finger paints, lift-the-flap books, a first scooter.
Ages 4–6
A scooter or a bike with training wheels, age-appropriate LEGO sets, first board games for memory and matching, a costume of a favorite character, a kids' camera, a modeling clay set.
Ages 7–9
A bike, roller skates, a science kit, a motorized building set, the next books in a favorite series, a kids' smartwatch, family board games.
Ages 10–12
Headphones, an e-reader, an instant camera, alcohol markers and a sketchbook, a robotics kit, a skateboard, fandom merch. Kids this age know what they want, so build the list together.
Ages 13–14
Wireless earbuds, gaming accessories, a specific pair of sneakers, a gift card to a favorite store, a coding or art class, concert tickets. At 13, teens can make their own GIFTbase wishlist.
What else works on any kids' list
Besides toys by age, these land well on kids' lists:
Experiences
A trampoline park, a petting zoo, kids' theater, a clay workshop.
Books
The series your kid is reading now. Note which volumes you already have.
Sports and clothes
A helmet, knee pads, a uniform for their team. Always put the size in the note.
Art supplies
Paints, clay, science kit refills: they get used up fast and are always welcome.
Messages for sharing a kid's wishlist
Three messages to copy and adjust.
To the class group chat
“You're invited to Max's birthday party on November 14! To make gifts easy, we made a wishlist, and reservations show up for everyone: [link]”
To grandparents
“Mom, here's what Lily asked for this year. Pick anything; everyone else will see what's taken: [link]”
To godparents
“If you're thinking about a gift, Sam has one big wish on his list. Want to go in on it together? [link]”
Gift finder
Going to a kid's party?
The finder suggests a gift by age and interests
If the birthday kid has no list, describe them in the GIFTbase finder: age, what they love, your budget. It suggests 10 ideas with prices and links to stores in your city.
Nudge the parents to make a list before the next party: it makes life easier for everyone.

Kids wishlist questions
Toys that roll, make sounds and stack: a push walker, a shape sorter, stacking rings, a busy board, board books, a soft ball. Gifts for a one-year-old girl or boy are nearly identical. Practical picks: first shoes, a high chair, a play mat.
A balance bike, big-brick building sets, a play kitchen or workbench, kinetic sand, finger paints, lift-the-flap books.
By 12, kids know what they want: headphones, an e-reader, an instant camera, art supplies, fandom merch, more serious board games. Build the list together and pin down the models.
With the invitation, in the class or daycare group chat, three to four weeks before the party: other parents shop early. Ready-to-send messages are above.
Teens 13 and up can make their own GIFTbase wishlist. For younger kids, parents run the list from their own account, and the child suggests what to add.
Yes, reserved gifts are marked for everyone who opens the list. Reservations don't need an account.
