A specific perfume, a dance or cooking class, skincare or hiking equipment. Include the reference, ring size or shoe size if necessary.

For your stage of life
First home: kitchenware, household linen, small tools. New parents: babysitting or homemade meals. Working from home: headphones or a lamp. Your situation matters more than your gender.
What should you ask your parents or grandparents for?
A lasting gift, a project to fund or time together: three ideas to suggest to your parents or grandparents.
On Listopia, they open the link and reserve with their first name, without account or installation.
- A project: a driving licence, travel, studies or a first flat, funded through a gift pool.
- A lasting item: a good frying pan, a watch, a suitcase or a hardback book.
- Time together: a restaurant, a show or a cooking workshop for two.
- Something to pass on: a family recipe, a photo album, knitting or DIY together.
5 tips for a really useful Christmas list
An exact link, useful details and a guide price: your loved ones have everything to choose from.
1. Paste the exact link
Listopia recovers the title, the image and the price when the site allows. Otherwise, you enter them by hand.
2. Specify the size, colour and model
In the notes: “size M, blue” or “volume 5”. Highlight your two or three favourites too.
3. Include a range of prices
Small wishes, a few larger gifts and an idea to give together.
4. Add at least one experience
“Two cinema tickets”: a title is enough, without a link. Specify the location and period.
5. Plan more wishes than relatives
Everyone still has a choice. Unsure about an idea? “Gift under consideration” hides it from your loved ones until you decide.
From the list of ideas to the shared list
Create your list without an account, add your wishes and send the link. Your loved ones reserve without registration; reservations are hidden by default, with an option to display them.
- Send the link through your phone’s share menu (WhatsApp or text message), or copy it into an email.
- A reserved gift can no longer be reserved by someone else: no double reserving.
- As a family, a collaborative list brings together each member's list under one link.
