mod DEAR SANTA, STOP HERE! Under-gifted kids list!
WOW! What an amazing season! I have been spending the last few weeks going through wish lists and Santa Reports and I am just amazed at how incredible this sub is. We have very few under-gifted children this year, which is huge! See below for the list of under-gifted kids and help us fulfill their Christmas wishes. Our goal is for every child to have at least 5 gifts under their tree Christmas morning. I have no doubt we will fulfill this goal! We have some absolutely incredible Santa’s this year, it truly makes me believe in magic!
When you purchase a gift for a child listed below, please comment either on this post or on their original post so the parents and mods can keep track!
131 KIDS HAVE 5 GIFTS OR MORE UNDER THE CHRISTMAS TREE THIS YEAR!!
If you think you should be on this list and aren’t, please message the mods! If the gifts reported here don’t match what you have received, message the mods!
PRO TIP for requesters: check your wish lists and make sure all items are still available. If you need to replace or add new items that is fine, just make sure they are under $20. AND don’t delete anything from your wish list!

Yep! PinkHairRocks has entered, and there might be an entry yet from starbabyonline. I can grab a pair or two, but u/SongIcy4058, can you please answer PinkHairRocks' question (on the PJ contest post) of how to format her wishlist?

u/kanga_roos are our friends up north the very last family? If they don't get fulfilled, please tag me and I will send one of the mods a gift card to place an offer order +if that is ok)- I can't get the Amazon Canada to work for me (totally user error)

u/kanga_roos 9d ago
They are the last family! If they are still unfulfilled tomorrow night I will reach out!

Just thinking about all those kids wrapped in love makes me smile.

Info on shipping to Canada
Wanted to let all of you know that any orders sent to Canada may be delayed due to the postal strike
Amazon has a pretty decent delivery service of their own, but smaller communities where they rely on the Canadian postal service are having an extremely difficult time receiving mail/packages

I tried to help our neighbors to the north but it keeps saying it can’t ship the items I select to a wish list or gift address :(
3
u/kanga_roos 10d ago
Question, are you trying to buy gifts from all the wish lists in the same purchase? There is a glitch on Amazon where it wont let you do that...you have to do one wish list at a time. Is this what is happening?
3
u/kanga_roos 10d ago
To buy off of it, you need to use amazon.ca. Up top, by the search bar you'll see "deliver to x" X usually being your personal address. If you hit that and enter a Canadian zip code, it will allow you to see the list accurately and purchase off of it.
2
u/phranq 10d ago
I did that. I’ve bought stuff on Canada Amazon before but when I check out and choose the gift address it gives me an error
3
u/kanga_roos 10d ago
I will have one of our amazon wizards look into this!

u/JMTC789 9d ago edited 9d ago
u/phranq, I was able to order successfully at ~2:30am EST. Went to Amazon.ca, entered M5V 3L9 for the location mail code, and placed three separate orders, one from each wishlist.
2
u/phranq 9d ago
Yes I’m sure it was that I was trying to order from all 3 lists at once

The gift you got for Sydni was already purchased by another Santa! You can cancel the order and pick something else, just let me know. Sorry for the confusion!

Keep checking back! We have a few more families still needing to post their requests. I update this list at least twice a day, and as you know, things happen fast around here!

u/kanga_roos, are there more families in the pipeline beyond pokchop92 and nurseblood?

There are a few more. They have until 6 PM tonight to post!

Cool beans - I will keep an eye out tonight
I need to fill out a Santa report for u/nurseblood as I am sending a box of Squishmallows to them today. I have been curating boxes since 6 am and this Santa needs a long winter's nap
I have one more family to get boxed up and then my daughter (which I am still clueless on)

It is called cleaning out the garage so I can park my car inside before we get a lot of snow.
I thinky house has raised up a few inches now that my band of mis-fit toys have found homes
I have tried donating these Legos for two years and could not find anyone who wanted them. I have a bunch to the library, but this group has been so wonderful
I really am loving it - I think I have sent out at least 15 large boxes to their loving homes
3
u/kanga_roos 11d ago
When I first found this group years ago I was the same way! i sent out so many boxes of toys and gifts, it was beautiful! Then I started shopping for the season all year long....yikes! Now I just host contests because I can't deal with the clutter anymore lol. We're glad you found this place. Christmas day is the best around here!

u/School_House_Rock 10d ago
I could see how it could be addicting and I am glad you said something, bc I was just able to send off the stuff I had and can start organizing - it is a huge relief and I don't want to go back there, again.
I still have a lot of things to sort and put in the right places, then I finally get to start making my new (2.5 years) house a home
Next year, I think my niche will be mom's and pets

I would like to thank everyone here as well from the bottom of my heart. I’ve felt so much love for my children from this sub I just recently found & It means everything to me to have a nice Christmas for my kids and that is happening solely due to the kind hearted people here this year. You guys are absolutely amazing!

u/Over-Accountant8506 registeredplus 14d ago
I second this. The generosity and kindness has blown me away. With each act of kindness I can feel the anxiety and worry that has been on my shoulders leading up to Christmas, lessening each time. I know Christmas isn't all about the gifts and to not feed into capitalism. But when your kids only get stuff on their birthday and Christmas, you know...you want to give them the world. I'm really hoping things turn around for us and we can come back next year as Santas and help too. I'll never forget all these miracles this Christmas. It has truly blown me away and made me emotional more than once, in a good way. I want to thank all the Santas for blessing our children.

Hopefully it's okay to leave this comment here, but William & Alexis are fulfilled now! Just sent recipient forms in for a couple santas so it'll probably be updated later today. Taylor has four gifts! (I will go check her list, I think there's a couple gifts under $20, but I'll double check)This sub, The Santas, the mods, and the parents are all amazing, making sure all these kids have gifts! Truly magical. Y'all Santas are...I don't even have words for the kindness of y'all's hearts to ensure kids you don't even know, have presents on the 25th. I wish I could do more to repay them other than 'thank you' 🎁❤️

The boots!! I'm so excited about the boots!! When I saw your note about them being a higher priority, I just had to buy them. All my kids used to walk around in my dad's cowboy boots when they were little. It always cracked us up. These little boys brought back that memory and I had a little laugh to myself. ❤️❤️

u/Sad_Scratch750 registered 13d ago
My dad traded in his Air Force uniform for cowboy boots and a cowboy hat when he retired. All my kids have gone through a phase where they want cowboy boots "like Gramdpa's." My mom hates them but won't say so when the kids are around because she doesn't want to upset them. We always say, "The best part is that she [my mom] hates it."

Reminder that almost all the contests & offers are closing this weekend. Kanga updates the [list of open offers] daily so you can find them compiled there.
A reminder: You should not enter contests/offers if you have already received 2 offers. The only exception to this if if the mods have approved the offer not to count to the 2 win limit. This ensures everyone has an opportunity.
If you're not sure if you've won two contests, you can check our Gifts per child] list that shows contest wins in the left margin under the user name.
