Why Shared Wishlists Strengthen Relationships
Planning for the future is one of the greatest joys in a relationship. Whether it’s the next date, a weekend getaway, or even a home project, creating shared wishlists helps couples stay aligned, inspired, and organized.
Think of wishlists as a way to turn “we should do that one day” into something real. They capture all the things that spark joy or curiosity between you, and remove the stress of having to remember them later.
Using an app like Cupla, you can easily save and share ideas from TikTok, Instagram, or the web everything from romantic restaurants to travel reels – so both of you can add, edit, and plan together.
1. The Date Night Wishlist
Why you need it:
Because deciding what to do is half the battle.
Every couple hits that “What should we do tonight?” moment. A shared Date Night Wishlist solves it. Save everything from cozy wine bars and comedy shows to new recipes or at-home date ideas.
Pro tip: Add different lists for budget, mood, or time required so it’s easy to pick something that fits your night.
2. The Travel Wishlist
Why you need it:
Shared wanderlust keeps things exciting even when you’re not packing a bag yet.
Drop pins on dream destinations, weekend escapes, or local day trips you want to do together. Whether it’s “a beach weekend in Carmel,” “wine tasting in Sonoma,” or “a cooking class in Italy,” having this list ready means you can make the most of future long weekends or holiday breaks.
Pro tip: Include travel reels or articles directly from TikTok and Instagram Cupla makes it easy to save these links for later.
3. The Gift Wishlist
Why you need it:
No more guessing games (or “I don’t know, surprise me”).
Create a shared list for birthdays, holidays, anniversaries, and spontaneous surprises. Add everything from favorite brands and experiences to small everyday treats. It takes the pressure off gift-giving and helps both partners feel seen and appreciated.
Pro tip: Include both give and receive sections so you can each add things you’d love or ideas for your partner.
4. The Home & Life Wishlist
Why you need it:
Because building a life together means dreaming about your shared space, too.

5. The Experiences & Goals Wishlist
Why you need it:
Not everything is a date or a trip sometimes it’s about growth.
Think workshops, concerts, fitness goals, or things you want to learn together. Shared goals help couples feel like a team. This list can evolve as your relationship does, whether it’s “run a half marathon,” “start a photo journal,” or “learn to cook Thai food.”
