Questions from grown-ups
What do 7 year olds want for their birthday?
Often something to do with a hobby they already have. Let them choose: on Wishorium they can heart favourites, or circle what they want from ideas you’ve picked.
How do I stop family buying the same thing?
Share one list. Each wish can be circled once, so everyone sees what’s already taken.
