Three steps, well before the cake.
Spot it? Paste it.
The trainers, the book, the oddly specific kitchen thing. Any link from any shop becomes a wish card in seconds: photo, price, the lot.
Share one link.
Drop it in the group chat or send it to the one who always asks. Friends, Close Circle, Invite-Only or Public: your list, your rules.
Stay surprised.
Givers quietly sort out who gets what. Nothing is bought twice, and you find out when the wrapping paper comes off.
Any shop counts.
A birthday list only works if everything can go on it. So there's no catalogue and no partner shops: paste a link from anywhere (the big shop, the tiny ceramics studio, the second-hand find) and it becomes a wish card with the photo and price filled in. From seen to listed in well under a minute.
Organising for someone else's big day.
Start a gift list for them instead: collect ideas with the other givers, vote, and agree on one good present. They never see any of it, and it works before they've ever heard of Yovolo.
Birthday questions.
Do I need an account to make a birthday list?
Not to start. Build the list right away; we ask for an email only when you share it, so the people you invite know it's you.
Will I see who reserved what?
No. Reservations are hidden from you unless you deliberately switch them on. The surprise survives.
What stops two friends buying the same thing?
Reserving. One tap marks a gift as taken, every other giver sees it, and nobody buys the same thing twice.
Does it work with any shop?
Any shop with a web page. Paste the link and the wish card does the rest: photo, price, where to buy it.
