Illustration: Build a birthday wishlist for every budget

Begin with genuine wishes

Write down what would be useful or genuinely enjoyable: hobbies, home, fashion, culture, sport or an experience. Remove anything you are likely to buy for yourself in the next few days.

Explain what matters

For clothing, specify the size. For a technical product, include the exact model. If the brand does not matter, say so in the description.

For a child or teenager

Add age guidance, series they already own and current interests. A contribution towards one larger wish can sit alongside smaller gifts.
