The gift list to drop into the birthday invite
Planning a kid's birthday party comes with the same question asked ten different ways in the parents' group chat: “what's she into these days?” Without a clear answer, several kids show up with the same toy, and others bring gifts that miss the mark entirely.
A gift list attached to the invitation heads that off before it starts: instead of replying to every parent one by one, you drop a single link into the invite — text, email, or class group chat — and each invited family checks the list, picks something, and claims it so nobody else buys the same thing.
The birthday kid obviously never sees the list or the claims, but neither do you, as the parent hosting the party: what each guest chose stays hidden until the gifts get opened, which keeps a bit of surprise even for you.

How to attach a gift list to the invitation
Create the household for the party and a list under the birthday kid's name, with the occasion set and the party date if you already know it.
Fill in the list with a few concrete ideas — a specific game, a book, a piece of sports gear with the right size — to avoid gifts that end up forgotten in a drawer.
Copy the household's link and paste it right into the invitation, whether it's sent by text, email, or shared in the class parents' group chat.
Each invited family opens the link, sees which items are still available, and claims the one they plan to bring — no account needed, just a first name.

One list, party after party
The household you set up for one party isn't limited to that single occasion: the same list can carry over to next year's birthday, or even to Christmas if you'd rather keep your child's gift ideas in one place instead of starting a new link every time.
It also makes life easier for parents juggling several invitations a year: once they know how to open a Qui offre quoi? link and claim an item, they'll recognize the same setup at the next party, no matter who's hosting.
Frequently asked questions
- How do I add the gift list link to a party invitation?
- Once the list is filled in, just copy the household's link and paste it into the invitation text — text message, email, or a group chat message. No special formatting needed.
- Do invited parents need to create an account to claim a gift?
- No. They open the link, pick an item from the list, and enter just a first name to claim it — no account, no password.
- What happens if two kids want to bring the same toy?
- As soon as one family claims an item, it shows as claimed for everyone else — which is exactly what stops two guests from showing up with the same gift on party day.
- Can I keep the list short for just one party?
- Nothing stops you from doing exactly that — a handful of well-chosen ideas often works better than a long list for a single party.
- Will I see, as the hosting parent, what each guest claimed?
- No. Even you, hosting the party, never see who claimed what — the surprise at gift-opening time stays guaranteed for everyone, you included.
