Introducing birthdays

Now you can add your birthday to Things To Have.

It can be done in Settings: pick a month and a day, and that's it. We care about your privacy, so we don't ask you for a year. Also — only your mutual friends will see it.

Friends page now shows all birthdays at a glance

Your Friends page now shows whose birthday is coming up next.

You can also add all your friends' birthdays to your calendar in one click — each one an all-day event that repeats every year and links straight to their profile.

Never miss a birthday

We will also send you and your friends a few notifications to facilitate your birthday:

  • A month before, we'll nudge you to fill out your wishlist, while there's still time to add what you want.
  • A few weeks before, your friends get a heads-up that it's coming, so they have time to pick something out.
  • On the day, your friends get a note pointing at your profile.
  • And you get a happy-birthday note from us.

Don't want the emails? Turn them off in Settings, or right from the email itself.

Go add your birthday — it's in Settings. And if your wishlist is empty, here's how to fill it.
