Babe, send your wishlist

Birthday or anniversary gift for your boyfriend or girlfriend? Try an atpesa.me wishlist, a thoughtful money gift and a message that sounds like you.

A young Kenyan couple share a happy gifting moment over a phone, flowers and a cupcake.

You remembered the date. You’ve got a cute message ready. Then comes the hard bit. What do you buy someone you really like?

For a birthday or anniversary gift for your boyfriend, girlfriend or partner, a little clue goes a long way.

Ask for the wishlist

You can be thoughtful and ask a direct question.

You — “Babe, send your wishlist. I want to get you something you’ve actually been eyeing.”
Them — “Okay, you can atpesa me towards the pottery class 🥹 I’ll send the wish link.”

Their atpesa.me page can hold a few wishes, from headphones to a birthday dinner. Each wish has a target and its own share link. They can add a photo and a shop or reference link to explain the idea.

You pick the wish, choose an amount and write a message. The available M-Pesa or card option handles the payment. You don’t need your own atpesa account to give.

Make the message part of the gift

“Happy birthday” is lovely. One tiny detail makes it theirs.

“Towards the headphones you send me every other Tuesday 😂 Happy birthday, favourite person. I’m calling dibs on the first playlist.”
“One year of us. Here’s a little towards that pottery class. Please make me the wonkiest mug in the room.”

They can set a custom thank-you message or video for that wish too. It gives the moment a little more personality.

Flowers, a wishlist, or both?

Browsing Purpink for flowers and gift hampers? A physical gift can be part of the plan. You could pair a bouquet with a contribution towards something on their wishlist, or use their shop link to understand what they like.

atpesa isn’t connected to Purpink’s checkout. An atpesa gift is money towards the recipient’s wish. They decide where to buy it. Flowers or other shop orders need to be arranged separately.

If they don’t have a page yet

“Make an atpesa.me wishlist and send me your link. I have birthday intentions 👀”

Share this quick setup guide. They’ll need to set up their receiving details before accepting gifts. Allow for payment deductions and the standard two-working-day payout schedule, especially if the date is close. Current payment and payout details are here.

The wish tells you what they want. Your message tells them you’ve been paying attention.
