The big first day

Everything for school – and nothing twice

When a child starts school, grandparents, godparents and friends love to chip in – for the school bag, supplies or a gift for the big day. Without a plan you end up with three lunch boxes and no fountain pen. A starting school wishlist shows everyone what your new pupil really needs and would love. In Germany, children even get a school cone – a big paper cone full of small surprises.

With Wishonaut you create the list in seconds, no sign-up needed. Add wishes from any online shop by link or write down your own ideas, such as small treats for the school cone. Whoever buys something marks it as reserved, so everyone sees at once what's still missing.

Frequently Asked Questions

Still unsure? The help pages explain every feature step by step.

Open the help
Is the starting school wishlist free?

Yes. Wishonaut is completely free, with no sign-up and no hidden costs.

Can we add small things for the school cone?

Yes. Besides wishes with a link you can add your own entries without a shop, such as "stickers" or "favourite audiobook". Guests reserve them the same way.

When should we share the list?

Ideally two to three weeks before school starts. That leaves enough time to buy and ship, and nobody ends up buying duplicates at the last minute.
