Birthday wish list
Guests claim a gift idea and it's gone for everyone else, so no two families bring the same set.
What's inside
Each gift can be claimed once and then shows as taken; a shared gift like a bike takes up to ten families, and Something else asks what they're bringing.

A gift list parents actually use
Send the link when parents ask what to bring, or add it under the invitation for close family. Most ask in the week before the party, so have it ready by then.
List five to eight ideas across a few price points, from a $10 puzzle to a $40 set. Parents pick what fits their budget, and you get variety instead of three of the same.
A shared gift with ten places lets families put money toward something bigger without a separate collection. Write the suggested amount in the option itself.
Something else keeps the list friendly. Families who already bought a present can still reply, and you know what's coming before the party.
Gift list questions
What happens when a gift is claimed?
It shows as taken and can't be picked again, so the next parent chooses from what's left. The shared gift stays open until all ten places are gone. If a family tells you they swapped presents, raise that idea's limit from 1 to 2 in the editor and it opens again for someone else.
Can guests see who claimed what?
No. Guests only see which gifts are still free. Names and choices reach you alone, so you can thank each family for the right present. The gift tag answer helps too, since a box signed Mia and Leo is easy to match to its reply. Export the replies before the party and keep the list next to the gift table.
Isn't a gift list a bit pushy?
Not when parents ask for ideas, and most do. Share it as the answer to what Noah likes, and keep Something else so nobody feels they must pick from the list. Add a line to the intro that any gift, or no gift at all, is welcome. Sending the link only to parents who ask, not to the whole class chat, keeps the tone light.
