Free Nerf wish list
The right blaster.
The darts that fit it.
And the batteries.
One link. Two minutes to build. Grandma finally buys the right one.
It happens every year. The blaster is perfect. It fires the six darts in the box. Then the whole room is under the sofa hunting for more. Or it needs batteries, and there are none in the house. Right gift. Wrong box.
Create a wish list
See a real list first
Free forever. No card. Nobody needs an account to open it or buy from it. And no ads on it. Ever.
What the guessing costs
Nobody sends you a bill for the wrong parcel
So nobody adds it up. Let us add it up. Not one of these is about picking a bad blaster. They all wreck the day anyway.
The darts run out first
A blaster comes with the darts in the box. That is it. Six darts means six shots. Then it is a search party under the couch. Refill packs cost a few dollars. Nobody ever thinks of them.
The batteries are not in the box
Motorised blasters need batteries. Usually not the ones in your kitchen drawer. Until somebody drives to a shop, it is a very expensive paperweight.
The ammo does not fit
Mega darts do not fit an Elite blaster. Rival rounds fit neither. Same aisle. Same logo. You find out after the wrapping comes off.
Straight talk
If I wanted to guarantee a disappointing Nerf birthday, here is exactly what I would have you do
- Screenshot a blaster off your phone and text the picture to a grandparent.
- Let her search “nerf gun”, get four thousand results, and pick whichever one looks best in the photo.
- Assume the darts in the box will be enough for the afternoon.
- Assume a motorised blaster comes with batteries. It does not.
- Buy Mega darts for an Elite blaster, because both packets say Nerf.
- Let two relatives buy the same blaster, because nobody was keeping a list.
- Skip the eye protection, then spend the party telling everyone to be careful.
- Find out which of these happened on the day, with everybody watching.
Read that list again. Not one line is about picking a bad blaster. It is not a taste problem. It is a list problem. And the list is the one part you control.
How it works
Three steps, about two minutes
You do not need an account to start. Just start tapping.
-
Pick the blasters
Open the full line-up and tap “+ Wish list” beside anything worth having. It piles up while you browse and you do not need an account yet.
-
Save it and name it
Choose a first name or a handle. The list becomes a real page at its own address, something like nerfguns.net/wishlist/yourname/, and you can keep it public or make it private.
-
Send the link
Copy it, text it, email it, or print the QR code onto a paper invitation. Whoever opens it sees the blasters, the ammo that fits and one button each.
The real thing, not a mockup
A button on every blaster we write about
That is a real screenshot of the catalogue page on this site. Every line has a “+ Wish list” button right next to the buy link. So the list builds itself while you read.
Those are the three lines Hasbro is still making, straight off the catalogue page, with the “still made?” column showing exactly what it says on the site. The Amazon disclosure sits above the links, where it belongs.
The part that saves the day
You add the blaster. We add everything it needs to actually work.
This is why you build the list here and not in a notes app. Add a blaster. We attach the stuff it cannot work without:
- The darts that fit it, matched by line, so Elite gets Elite and Mega gets Mega.
- The batteries it actually takes, if it is a motorised one.
- Eye protection, on every list, every time.
- A plain English line under every item, so somebody who has never heard of a flywheel still knows what they are looking at.
Two packs that do the same job? The list says so. A blaster with a known problem? The list says that too, and points you at the page that explains it.
That is the whole trick. You pick the fun part. We handle the boring part that ruins the day.
A real list, exactly as a grandparent sees it, holding blasters that are on sale right now rather than ones that stopped being made years ago. Open the live version.
What you get, free
Everything below is live today
Nothing here is coming soon. Nothing unlocks later. If it is named on this page, it works right now.
As many lists as you want
One for a birthday, one for the holidays, one for the thing being saved up for. Each gets its own address.So that one child’s birthday list is not tangled up with everybody else’s.
Public or private, your call
A public list is a page anyone with the link can open. A private one is visible only to you and returns nothing to anybody else.So that a list can exist before you are ready to share it.
Mark as bought, and surprise mode
Whoever buys something ticks it off so nobody doubles up. Turn on surprise mode and everyone can see the ticks except the person whose list it is.So that the coordination happens without spoiling the morning.
Priority tags
Mark each item must have, nice to have, or dream gift. The badge shows on the public page.So that a $12 dart refill and a $60 blaster are not presented as the same ask.
A QR code you can print
Every list draws its own QR code, downloadable as an image, big enough to print on a paper party invitation.So that the relative who does not do links can still open it with a phone camera.
Prints properly on paper
Print a list and you get the blasters, the notes and the plain English descriptions. Every affiliate link is stripped out and replaced with the page address.So that a printed list is a shopping list, not a stack of tracking codes.
Add from the shops you already use
Paste a product link from Amazon, Walmart, Target, Best Buy or Hasbro Pulse and it goes on the list. A person reviews anything from outside our own catalogue before that list can be indexed.So that the list is not limited to what we happen to have written about.
No ads on your list. None.
This site runs display ads. Wish list pages are the one place they are switched off, deliberately.So that the page you send to your family is not somebody else’s advertising space.
For parents
Built so a child never needs an account
Most sites ask a child for their details, then promise to look after them. We went the other way. There is nothing to look after.
We never keep a birth date
Signing up asks for one, works out whether the answer is under 13, 13 to 17, or 18 and over, and keeps only that. The date itself is never written down anywhere, for anybody.
Under 13 gets no account at all
Not a limited one, not a supervised one. The form simply stops. A younger child’s list lives on a parent’s account instead, which is where it belongs.
Children are never users here
A child profile is a nickname and a picked avatar sitting inside a parent’s account. There are no photo uploads, no logins, no email address and no page of their own.
The child’s view has no way to buy
A child can look at their own list with a four digit PIN and no account. That view carries no shop links and no affiliate links of any kind. Only the grown-up’s version has buttons.
13 to 17 starts private
An older teenager gets their own account, and their list is set private from the first second. They can change that. It is a starting position, not a lock.
Deleting means deleting
Delete the account yourself, from your own screen. No emails, no forms, no waiting. Every list and every child profile goes with it.
Being straight with you
What this does not do
Every page like this brags about what it does. Here is the other half. Better you find out now.
- We never touch your money. No cash funds, no group gifting, no pot to pay into. People buy from the shop, the ordinary way.
- No price alerts or price history. Not built, not hidden behind anything. If you want to know when something drops, this is not the tool.
- No stock checking. A button can take somebody to a sold out product. We cannot see a shop’s inventory.
- No account needed to view or buy. That is deliberate, and it also means we cannot tell you who looked.
And the one that pays for all of it: if somebody buys through a link on your list, this site may earn a small commission. It costs the buyer nothing, the price is the same either way, and it is disclosed in plain sight above the first button on every list rather than in a footer. That is the whole business model, and it is why the wish list can be free and ad free at the same time.
What it costs
$0
No card, no trial, no upgrade screen
There is no paid tier waiting to upsell you. There is not one at all. Everything on this page is what a free account gets. That is the whole price.
The newsletter

New guides as they land, the things worth checking before a birthday or the holidays, and the occasional heads up about a blaster that is not quite what the box says.
You confirm by email before you are added, so nobody ends up on the list by accident. One click to leave, any time.
