Hintik›Kids wishlist
A kids’ wishlist the whole family can read
Every December the same three phone calls: what size is he now, does she already have that, what did you get last year. A kids’ list solves all three at once — if it is somewhere everyone can actually open it, and if it says what is already spoken for.
The list belongs to the child, the keeping belongs to you
Hintik is not an app for children — it is not built for under-13s and does not collect their data. So the list is kept by a parent. You mark a list as kept for someone else, and from then on it behaves the way that situation actually needs: you and anyone keeping it with you see what has already been claimed, because you are the ones coordinating.
That is the reverse of how a wishlist normally works here, and deliberately so. On your own list the claims are hidden from you to protect the surprise. On a list you keep for a child, hiding them from you would just mean two identical scooters.
Add the things
Paste links from any shop. Sizes, colours and the specific variant can be noted, which is most of what relatives phone to ask about.
Send the link
Grandparents open it in a browser. No app, no account, no sign-up wall.
Watch it get claimed
Anyone with the app marks what they are bringing. You see the marks; they see each other’s.
Sizes change, and that is the actual problem
Children outgrow a size between the list being written and the present being bought. Hintik reads the options straight off the shop page, so an item can carry the size you mean rather than a note somewhere saying “age 6 I think”. If the shop runs out, the person buying can mark that instead of silently substituting something.
Photos on items help more here than anywhere else — a four-year-old’s “the blue one” is not a searchable description. Photos and variant selection are part of the one-time Hintik Pro purchase.
One list per occasion
A birthday in March and Christmas in December should not be the same list, and one child’s list should not be tangled with a sibling’s. Named lists are free and unlimited, each with its own link and its own occasion, so you can send exactly the right one to exactly the right side of the family.
If both parents are adding to it, that is a shared list — the same list, kept by both of you.
Frequently asked
Can my child have their own account?
Hintik is not intended for children under 13 and does not knowingly collect their data. In practice a parent keeps the list, which is also the arrangement that works best — you are the one who knows the current shoe size.
Do grandparents need to install anything to see the list?
No. The link opens as a normal web page in any browser. The app is only needed to mark an item as taken.
Will I know what has already been bought?
On a list flagged as kept for someone else, yes — you and the other keepers see the claims, because you are coordinating them. On your own personal wishlist the opposite is true and the marks stay hidden from you.
Can I keep separate lists for two children?
Yes. Named lists are free and unlimited, and each one has its own link, so nothing gets mixed up.
What about Christmas specifically?
Same list, plus the family game if you want it: Hintik has a built-in Secret Santa where everyone draws one person and only their own Santa knows who they got.
