Re: Wish lists for the holidays? Yes or No
We made for DS because he has so many toys that he does not play with I wanted him to get stuff that he is into and will actually play with. I think it can help in the dilemma of getting a lot of unwanted presents.

Re: Wish lists for the holidays? Yes or No
I just let the Grandparents and my sister know what they want when/if they ask.

Since so many people ask me what to get too, I made an Amazon wishlist in my own account, and when I think of things for DD or she tells me she likes something, I add it to my own wishlist there…this happens throughout the year….so when MIL/my mom/etc ask me what to get her for her b-day, Christmas, etc (or when I want to get her something as a reward) I don’t have to wrack my brain to think of something—I just look at the wishlist. But I don’t send the actual list out….I’ll just go on there when they ask what to get her and give each person a few suggestions.
I do the same...but with toys r us. I dont have it made public...I just keep it or my own ideas during the year and can look at it when someone asks for a suggestion. I think its tacky to send someone the actual list. sorry

Re: Wish lists for the holidays? Yes or No
I maintain one on Amazon and I tell people about it only when they ask me.
(I asked to have the post made from the wrong account pulled. I have to check FMs there every day so I make mistakes.)

Me too. Otherwise, I just tell them to go down the pink aisle and buy something that looks like fun.
I think I'd like to utilize a list if I were shopping for someone else, but I'll probably never make one for us. I don't want my kids thinking they always get what THEY want.

Re: Wish lists for the holidays? Yes or No
I did it for DS's 1st Christmas because I knew sooo many people would be buying for him.
Now whenever someone asks me I just give them 1 specific item and don't tell anyone else.

Re: Wish lists for the holidays? Yes or No
I think it's great, but we are not big gift givers in our family(im the only one that goes crazy), so it wouldn't make sense for me to make one.

Re: Wish lists for the holidays? Yes or No
My family asks me what to get or tells me to pick something up and they will pay me back. A wishlist makes it so much easier. I find if you say DS really likes Toy Story, you are going to get things he already has.

Re: Wish lists for the holidays? Yes or No
Well I have a running list going for myself - if my parents, ILs or sister want to buy her something they can check it. But I don't tell other people about it.

Re: Wish lists for the holidays? Yes or No
I am making one. DD's birthday and Christmas are a month apart. I like to just point people to a website for suggestions. Everything I put on it is not set in stone, people get an idea though of the kinds of things she likes. It was very helpful for some last year. I also use it for DH, myself and "Santa", I see something or DD points something out and I forget what it was, now I just add it so I can remember.

Re: Wish lists for the holidays? Yes or No
I do it for both kids for their bdays/xmas. I add things thru out the year that I think they would like.
Our families love it and always say it makes their shopping so much easier. If friends ask, I tell them about it. It is just ideas, I dont have a problem at all if people have better ideas and get them something different. Whatever works!

Re: Wish lists for the holidays? Yes or No
I wish I would get a "what do they want" phone call.
my kids really don't have gift givers in their lives.
my mother sends money
my brother only gives books
my sister is a knitting nun
other sister married a batman fanatic, we always get batman things
others just do what they want, random.
i would love to have a need for a list-then i could decide if i like lists or not

Re: Wish lists for the holidays? Yes or No
I will be making one. Everyone asked for her birthday, and I felt funny telling them what to get. If they ask for xmas I will just tell me I put a few things on a wish list.

I love when people give me a list of things to buy. If you were to send it out without someone asking first it would be tacky, but I think it's perfectly acceptable to give a list to people who ask.
ditto. i did this for DS's 1st birthday and people were grateful. and anyone who didnt know about it was mad i didnt tell them.

I have an amazon list but it's more for me to keep track of what I think she would like. I know my mom and other close fam members will ask, but I would never send it out to anyone without them asking.
This is what I do too. I would never send it out or announce it to people but I know my mother and ILs would love to have the info and are going to ask me exactly what they should get her anyway.
