How It All Started
From a young age, our children have been aware of the privilege they have been born with and have developed a keen interest in wanting to positively help those that might not be afforded the same privileges.
We moved from Hong Kong to India a year ago and carried with so many cartons of unused gifts that the kids and us had received from numerous occasions- birthdays, visits from family etc. While it is easy to say - “No gifts, please”, the simple fact is that people enjoy the act of receiving a gift, even though they may not use the gift later. The best solution then would be to pool the gifts such that one can get a nice gift for oneself that one wants, while pledging a portion of the gift contribution to a charitable cause helping others get gifts – thus compounding the joy of receiving and giving gifts. Twowishes drew inspiration from Hong Kong based two presents, a platform we had used for an earlier birthday party for the kids.
Two Wishes is a zero-waste celebration platform. Here, your invites, RSVPs, cash contributions from guests, and charitable pledges come together beautifully in one place.
How it works:
-
The Big Dream: Your contribution will go toward a single "dream gift" that the host has been wishing for—[e.g., a new bicycle or videogame]—instead of many smaller items that might go unused.
-
The Big Heart: A portion of your contribution will be donated to a verified charity in India that resonates with you.
No waste, no hassle — just joy, connection, and a touch of meaning woven into every celebration.
Because the best parties don’t just bring people together — they do a little good too.
