Written by the company

What I Really Really Want is a modern wishlist and gifting platform that helps people celebrate life's special moments without the guesswork of traditional gift giving. Whether you're celebrating a birthday, new baby, wedding, honeymoon, house move, retirement, graduation or another milestone, What I Really Really Want allows friends and family to contribute towards something meaningful instead of buying unwanted or duplicate gifts. We believe gifting should be thoughtful, simple and transparent. Rather than receiving items that may never be used, recipients can create personalised wishlists for experiences, goals, celebrations and life milestones that matter most to them. Our platform is designed to make gifting easier for everyone involved. Creators can build and share their wishlist in minutes, while contributors can choose how much they would like to give and leave personal messages of support. We're on a mission to reduce unwanted gifting, minimise waste and help people receive what they genuinely want. By making group gifting simple, secure and enjoyable, we're helping families and friends celebrate in a more meaningful way. At What I Really Really Want, we believe the best gifts aren't always things. Sometimes they're experiences, opportunities, memories and moments that last far longer than another item on a shelf.

Made birthday planning soo much easier

Used this for a recent birthday and it was genuinely perfect. Really quick to set up, easy to share and felt secure. We ended up getting more contributions than expected, and having the money go straight into my bank made everything so much easier. It helped cover the presents, food, drinks and entertainment, with some money left over too. Great idea and really easy to use. Will be back...

We used this for a birthday not long ago and it worked out perfectly! Setup was fast, it felt very secure, and sharing it with everyone was effortless. We ended up getting more contributions than expected, and since the funds went straight to my bank account, I had plenty to cover the presents, drinks, entertainment, and food — with money to spare.

Thank you Joel. Really pleased you'd recommend it.. Our marketing is all word of mouth so that would help so much

I am so so glad we found What I Really Really want!

As a parent of 2 children with incredibly generous family and friends, we’re (or they’re) so lucky that they already have pretty much everything they need and some!Every birthday and Christmas I find myself doing a dreaded attempt to clear out and declutter, trying to work out what could be passed on before even more toys arrive, usually it’s nothing. It genuinely causes me anxiety because we just don’t need more “stuff” for the sake of it. The kids open the box, then play with the same toys they love the most.

What I Really Really Want completely solves the problem for us.

I love that it gives our family and friends a simple, and safe way to contribute towards something my kids genuinely want, whether that’s one bigger item, an experience/ day out, or something they’ve been saving for. It’s the perfect alternative to a traditional Christmas list in the Argos catalog or modern day online Amazon wish list.

One of the things I love most is that it supports buying preloved too. This year we’re trying to buy more second-hand items, especially for the bigger things my daughter wants, and this makes that so much easier. It even meant that instead of spending £140 on a toy, we found the exact one for £22.

It takes away the stress of the list and finding items that aren’t ££££ for people to buy, and of course to the giver wondering what to buy and helps avoid duplicate gifts and unwanted toys.

I’ve already thought of so many other ways to use it too, from school collections, teacher gifts & work collections. Such a simple idea, but one that takes away so much gifting stress, reduces waste, helps avoid unwanted toys and duplicate gifts, and makes giving feel far more meaningful. I genuinely love it and already have one very very happy and grateful little girl!

A rewarding experience for me and more importantly my granddaughter

I am no spring chicken and worried that the process would be too digitally oriented for me to follow. However I found the process simple and straightforward. My granddaughter received something she really wanted and my life was made easier in the process.
If like me you are a little wary of digital processes don’t worry give it a try.

Such a brilliant way to do gifting.

Such a brilliant way to do gifting.. Super easy to setup my wishlist, and get it shared. Amazed by the amount of contributions, the messages, and speed of payment into my back account. Will be using it for Christmas too
