There are plenty of times during the year when gifts take centre stage: birthdays, children's parties, housewarming parties, the holidays... The perfect time to make a difference! With a digital wish list, you will not only be well prepared, but also make more conscious and thoughtful choices. We would like to tell you how to approach those gift moments in a smarter and more sustainable way with the online wish list of list.nl. This way, you will only receive gifts that make you really happy.
Our sustainable gift tip: start your wish list in time!
In collaboration with list.nl
Our gift tip starts weeks - maybe even months - in advance. Why? Because a digital wish list helps you keep track of sustainable gift ideas. Easily add links to responsible shops and remove doubtful cases. This way, you make sure you only get gifts you really want or need. And the best part? You can easily share your wish list with friends and family, so they know exactly what to buy. No more room for mis-buying. Because that's a waste, isn't it, if a gift ends up in the cupboard unnecessarily?
Never miss a beat with a digital wish list again
Imagine: you have a beautiful wooden cutting board from a sustainable shop on your list, but get a cheap plastic one from a budget shop. Or you ask for a fine bottle of wine, but receive one that is totally off-putting. Maybe you hope for that one mascara, but get a variant with the wrong brush. And how about socks in the wrong size? That's just not right either. With a digital wish list, you avoid such moments. You control everything yourself and that makes gift-giving time a lot more fun and responsible! Because unfortunately there is a lot of unused stuff in Dutch homes and some of it comes from presents that weren't quite your cup of tea.


List.nl is an app and website that allows you to easily create and share wish lists with invitees to your party. It works very simply and you probably don't need any instruction, but at their blog they explain more about it.
Get started with the online wish list.nl?
A handy website and app for creating your digital wish list is list.nl. After downloading the app or creating an account via the website, you can get started right away. You can create multiple wish lists - for example, for different moments or family members. Easily add gifts with descriptions, images and - very important - a link to the shop. Don't want something anymore? Then remove it just as easily. When your list is complete, simply share it with friends and family via a link via e-mail or WhatsApp. They then know exactly what you want, where they can buy it and - super handy - which gifts have already been bought. This way, you avoid duplicate gifts and disappointments.
Bonus tip: you can also use list.nl to draw lots. And again, you can easily add gift wishes and share them anonymously with the person who drew you! Handy!
Try list.nl for yourself!
So from now on, you can say goodbye to misbuying and gift stress for good. Create an account via the website or download the app (can be done via the site), create your first online wish list and experience how easy it is. Perfect for birthdays, holidays and other special gift moments! Good luck and, above all, lots of gift fun!
