Maya's 30th birthday

Turning thirty and mostly after slow-morning things this year. Nothing here is expected — a card is genuinely lovely too.

Good to know

  • Party on a Saturday afternoon; anything posted can arrive the week before.
  • Happy to receive one shared gift instead of several small ones.

Please avoid

  • No more candles, please — the shelf is full.
  • No scarves.

How to make this one work

  1. 1Mix the price range

    Include a couple of ideas under €25 so nobody feels they have to spend a lot, and one bigger thing people can group around.

  2. 2Say what you don't need

    A short 'please avoid' line saves everyone money and stops the fourth pair of slippers.

  3. 3Send the link once

    Drop it in the group chat when people start asking, rather than repeating yourself to each person.

  4. 4Let reservations do the work

    Guests mark what they're bringing, so two friends never arrive with the same book.

Write down the specific things you'd genuinely enjoy this year — a book you keep meaning to read, the coffee grinder you've been eyeing, a pottery class — and send one private link to whoever asks. Guests open it without an account, see what's already been claimed, and reserve in a tap, so two cousins never arrive with the same present.

Add a short intro, a few notes on what you don't need, and a mix of price ranges so nobody feels obliged to spend a lot. If you'd rather not see who reserved what, Surprise mode is an optional setting on the paid plans. Group ideas with a target are paid too, and they're pure coordination between guests — money never passes through HintGifts.
