What to put on a wishlist: Steam games, vinyl and concert tickets

“What do you want for your birthday?” — “No idea.” An empty wishlist is far more common than a bad one: people want plenty of things, but the moment they're asked to list them, their mind goes blank. It's easier not to remember but to look where your taste is already written down: your Steam wishlist, the artists you listen to, what's playing in town.

Games: bring your Steam wishlist across

Most players already have a dozen games sitting in their Steam wishlist — no need to invent them again. The import copies them into an ordinary list with cover art, prices and links to the store page.

Open “Gift ideas”. The link sits in the header of the add form on your list page. You need a list first — somewhere for things to land.
Go to the “Games” tab. Paste your Steam profile link, your nickname or a SteamID64. We have no Steam account and don't need one: only the public part of the profile is read.
Add the ones you want. Each game becomes its own wish: cover, price in your region's currency, link to the store.

If the import comes back empty, it's almost always privacy: in Steam open Profile → Edit Profile → Privacy Settings and set “Game details” to Public. Steam doesn't distinguish “wishlist is empty” from “wishlist is private”, so neither can we.

An honest note on the alternative: if your list is ONLY games, Steam's own share link is probably enough — since summer 2026 it can share a wishlist and take gifts from people who don't have a Steam account at all. Our import earns its place when games sit next to headphones, a record and a concert ticket: one link instead of three, with reservations covering all of it.

Build a list out of what you already love

Create a list

Vinyl: the discography of artists you actually listen to

Records make easy presents: expensive enough to count as a gift, and nobody has to guess your size. The hard part is remembering which albums ever came out on vinyl.

On the “Vinyl” tab add an artist — just the name, say “Radiohead”.
Open the card: releases are pulled from the Discogs catalogue, albums ahead of singles.
The plus button drops a record into your list, with sleeve art and year.
If several bands share the exact same name — which happens more often than you'd think — you'll be asked which one is yours, with a couple of album titles for each.

Concerts: a ticket as a wish

The “Concerts” tab takes the same list of artists and shows upcoming dates with city and venue, grouped by continent. A ticket goes into the list in one tap and reads like any other wish: “Radiohead (Warsaw, 14 September) — ticket”.

The limitation is worth stating plainly: listings come from Ticketmaster, which doesn't cover every seller or every country. If an artist isn't there at all, the page says so — that's a different message from “no upcoming dates”.

Why it all belongs in one list

The point isn't the sources, it's what comes out: a single link where a game, a record, a ticket and perfectly ordinary headphones sit side by side. Your gift-giver doesn't have to visit three services and guess what's already taken — they see the whole list and reserve in one tap, with no sign-up.

And you don't have to remember everything at once: the list can grow all year, and the link never changes.

Common questions

Do I have to connect any accounts?: No. Games need a public Steam profile; records and concerts need nothing but an artist's name typed by hand. There is nothing to connect and nothing to authorise.
Steam found nothing, but my wishlist isn't empty: Almost certainly “Game details” is private in your Steam privacy settings. Set it to Public and search again — only the public part of a profile can be read.
My artist isn't in the vinyl results: Releases come from the Discogs catalogue, and plenty of music never came out on vinyl. The opposite happens too — several different bands with identical names; in that case you'll be offered a choice based on their albums.
Are prices shown in my currency?: Game prices come from Steam in your region's currency; records and tickets appear as the source gives them. A price on a wish is a guide either way — the giver still follows the link to the shop.
Can I add something none of these sources knows about?: Of course, and that's the main way to use the list. Any wish can be typed in words or pasted as a link from any shop — the idea sources just save you from having to remember.
