Our story

No more duplicate gifts.
Just what they need.

Budling is a group gift registry for kids. Friends and family pool money toward the gifts you actually want - and you decide what to keep as savings or send to a 529.

Why we built it

A pile of gifts is not the goal.

Every parent we know has the same story: three identical onesies, two of the same stroller, a stack of unopened toys, and a pile of receipts for returns nobody has time to make.

Meanwhile the things that actually matter - swimming lessons, the right cot, a head start on savings - go unfunded because asking for them feels awkward.

Budling fixes that. One link. Guests give any amount. You pick what to buy. Whatever's left is paid out to your bank - keep it as savings, or send it to a 529 in one tap via UGift.
