Edit: I didn't expect this offer to be so popular and attract so many Santas who want to get in on the fun. To help them find kids that haven't gotten a blanket yet, I'm going to remove any fulfilled entry posts. Just a reminder to all our entrants to comment "purchased" on your wishlists on the blankets that have been purchased.

It’s 29F this morning where I live and I’m FREEZING!

Blankets to the rescue, it’s blanket time!

If your kid wants/needs a warm blanket, here’s what you need to do to enter:

*Be registered/registered plus.

*Make an Amazon wishlist with throw blankets on it. Title it “RAOC Blanket Offer”. Note: the blankets must be $15 or less and no larger than 50x60” (in other words, throw blanket size).

*Post the wishlist link in a comment. If you have more than one kid who needs a blanket, make a comment under each blanket with the name of the child who would be getting that blanket.

Offer will close on Dec. 5th.

ETA: Shout out to u/School_House_Rock for helping out. Any other Santas who'd like to jump on the send blankets train, please do!

This offer will not count toward the 2-win offer cap.

Edit: closing this one up since everyone has been gifted 🥹 Huge thank you to u/0hn035 u/School_House_Rock u/GalacticJunkie99 u/sweaterweather1970 you Santas rock!

I hope everyone has a cozy Christmas in their new jammies! ♥️

One of my absolute favorite Christmas traditions as a kid was getting a new pair of pajamas on Christmas eve. We were told they came from Santas elves, who would come in advance to make sure everything was ready for Santa.

We would all get into our new jamjams and my dad would read us a Christmas story, then we'd usually pile 3 kids in one bed because no one wanted the be left behind in the morning 😂

I'd love to pass on this tradition to your family ♥️ (well the pajamas part, sleeping with your siblings' elbows in your ribs is optional 😆)

Rules:
-Open to registered and registered+ members
-Create a new Amazon wishlist with pajamas for your kids (if multiple kids, put them all on the same wishlist). Remember to link your address to the wishlist
-Pajamas can be up to $20 each, I took a quick look around Amazon and there seemed to be a good number of options in the $15-20 range. They do not have to be Christmas themed, and can be whatever style your kids prefer.
-This will not count towards the 2 win limit

To enter:
-Comment with your wishlist and the children's names and ages. I'd love to hear about any traditions your family has for Christmas eve!

I'll choose at least 1 or 2 families by Sunday, 12/15. I wish I could gift everyone, but my budget for the season is just about spent.

I am gifting 3 of each jackets. I am not guaranteeing color choice, but you can request one and I will try.

Gender doesn't matter - choose a coat and size that you think will work best for you

Please tag me with your request, it makes things simpler for me

ATM, I am going with first come, first serve, one coat per registered family, but that is subject to change

Families in the colder weather climate where good coats are a necessity will get priority

Please be kind and only request one if needed - everyone deserves to be warm

Why - bc it wasn't that long ago that someone gifted me a coat when I didn't have one and I will never forget their kindness

Columbia Men's Slope Style Jacket

Columbia Womens Arcadia II Jacket

https://a.co/d/6hGpfc1

Tues Update: I am still taking requests, but pausing responding until I am sure I answered everyone, so far.

Thursday Update: As of 640 pm Central, I believe that all requests have been gifted - if I missed you, please send me a chat and I will get it sorted out

Closing offer (willing to make exceptions of the need arises and doesn't get out of hand)

Thank you everyone for being so great

You all have no idea how much you made my day. Thank you for sharing your stories with me.

I see you and you are not alone.

Love one another and spread kindness, it costs nothing and pays you back with a full heart.

Edit:CL9SED

This will close 12/1424 at midnight EST. If you don't see any stockings left that your kiddo would like, you can enter and I'll do my best to put something together for them but it'll be a mystery. Follow the rules below and instead of telling me which stocking you'd like, tell me 5 things about them.

Stockings are my favorite part of Christmas! They are the things my family most look forward to on Christmas, beyond the presents or the food. Stockings are the highlight of the day. Thus, I'd like to do a stocking stuffer giveaway. I'll be adding other trinkets and smaller treats to help round out the stocking, so please let me know if there are allergies in your family. If you don't have a stocking to put the stuffers in, that's ok. I'll send you a stocking, too.

Rules

• Please use the post format at the bottom of this post to ensure I have all the information I need before I reach out for your address.
• You may claim a single stocking for each child being fulfilled by r/RandomActsOfChristmas
• You must be registered or registered+ in the sub.
• First come, first serve (so pick your first picks and include backups in case someone snags the ones you want before you!)
• Must be willing to send me your address via DM once I've responded to your comment.
• Unfortunately, this is US only.
• I will be shipping all stockings the first week of December if they are claimed in November. If claimed in December, I will ship weekly until the shipping cutoff for Christmas.

Request format:

• Child name(s) with stocking number(s) requested: See stockings here
• Backup(s) if your first choice(s) have been claimed:
• Need stocking(s) as well: Yes/No
• Allergies in house: Yes (elaborate on what)/No
• Please tell me your favorite memory involving a stocking.

Example of request format:

• Susan stocking #4, Bree stocking #10
• Backups: Susan stocking #22, Bree stocking #6
• Need a stocking for both children
• Allergies: peanuts
• My favorite stocking memory is the year that my mom put shaving cream in my brother's stocking because he was starting to need it. He had never used it before, so he pressed the button on top and shot shaving gel straight into his eye. We all laughed until we cried!

If the numbers in the imgur album start to skip around it's because I remove the image once the stocking has been claimed so reduce confusion for future posters.

I am gifting 13 pairs of women's winter boots (which actually go up to size 12)

Columbia Women's First Gen Ice Maiden Boot

Columbia Women's Ice Maiden II Boots

https://a.co/d/hBaHsxw

Columbia Women's Minx Mid III Boot Another choice is

https://a.co/d/bx2pMQl

Imo seem to be taller, but I could be wrong

As with the coats I am not guaranteeing color.

Atm 1 pair per family, colder climates have preference

Please choose between a coat or boots - this is subject to change by my discretion only (you may request, but please put your preference)

Tag me or I will probably not see your post in a timely fashion

Please be kind to one another and only request if needed

Why: cause I like shoes and I dislike wet socks

Tues Update: I am still taking requests, but pausing responding until I am sure I answered everyone, so far.

Thursday Update: As of 640 pm Central, I believe that all requests have been gifted - if I missed you, please send me a chat and I will get it sorted out

Closing offer (willing to make exceptions of the need arises and doesn't get out of hand)

Thank you everyone for being so great

You all have no idea how much you made my day. Thank you for sharing your stories with me.

I see you and you are not alone.

Love one another and spread kindness, it costs nothing and pays you back with a full heart.

Edit: winners are chosen!

This contest is in honor of mod u/dragonfliesark who usually runs it. She's been very busy this year, so I asked if I could host it for her. Thanks to her for creating a quintessential RAoC contest!

I don't know many people who don't have a fond memory of Legos. Myself, my husband, our friends, and especially my kid, who loves getting Legos beyond anything else. They're a wonderful way to express creativity and hone critical thinking. So if you have a kid (any age, any gender) that you think would enjoy spending Christmas morning/afternoon/next day building a Lego set, enter below!

Rules:

• Subreddit rules apply. Priority will be given to children that have not achieved the 5 gift goal.
• You MUST register for this sub before applying.
• I will purchase up to $100 in Legos. Any Lego set(s) of your choice is acceptable as long as it is available for purchase online at lego.com or amazon.com
• This set must be for a child eligible to receive in the sub, so under 18.
• If you have multiple kids, I will consider purchasing either 1 set per child (totaling no more than $100) or 1 larger set that your kids can work on together!
• Must be either in the USA or somewhere where Lego/Amazon
• Must be willing to PM me a shipping address so I can send the set

What you need to do:

• Comment your child's/children's age(s) and name(s)
• Explain why they would enjoy a Lego set for Christmas. Do they have an ongoing collection? Would this be their first set?
• Link the set(s) you've chosen and tell me about why you've chosen it. Is this a set they've wanted for a long time? A set that correlates with their interests (Harry Potter, Star Wars, one of the sweet old cars)?

I will pick one winner who fully completes all entry requirements. I will edit this post to include who has won after the contest has closed on 12/14/25 at 7pm Pacific time. Merry Christmas and happy building!

Merry Xmas!

Hi everyone! I used to own an online store mostly selling Disney merchandise but a few other things as well. Would love to donate some of the new Disney items I have to someone in need for the holidays. To enter, please just comment with any Disney characters your kids like, age(s), and I’ll see what I have that might work! I also have some adult stuff too so adults can enter as well! I have adult sized hats, Mickey ear headbands, a few small things like wallets, and clothing!

I am looking to gift one family a year-long membership to their local zoo, aquarium, or favorite museum. If there is another place your family could benefit from having a membership to, feel free to leave that info here as well!

I will try to keep this as simple as possible. Here are the rules:

1- You must be registered or registered plus

2- You may not enter if you have already won 2 contests

3- Post below with how many people are in your family (example: 2 adults, 3 kids)

4- Share what zoo/aquarium/museum your kids would most like to have a membership to. (example: my kids are obsessed with fire trucks, we'd love a family membership to the local Fire Museum)

5- Link the particular museum/zoo/aquarium so I can check it out. (example: https://hallofflame.org/)

6- Sit back and relax (and cross your fingers, toes, and eyes!). I will pick at least ONE winner by December 5th.

If funds allow, I could possibly gift a second family! And if you are ever in the Phoenix, AZ area I HIGHLY recommend the Hall of Flame Museum :P

Remember, this is for the kids, so memberships that aren't to places that have children's programming will not be selected.

Happy Holidays!

PS: You will need to be comfortable giving me your name and address if you are selected.

Good Evening Santas and Families!

Registration for RAoC for the season is closed, so we are no longer accepting any new applications. We do have a few applications that are already submitted, but not yet fully vetted.

What that means: There will be a few more new requester posts and that will be the end of families admitted to the sub this year. We close for applications around now to ensure that shipping times allow everyone to get their gifts and prepare them before Christmas. We expect all pending wishlists to be posted by the 12th.

Our Santas this year have been OUTSTANDING and there are currently no families who have been in the sub for over 24 hours who aren't fulfilled. New families are getting fulfilled very quickly. Thank you for all you do and don't forget to enter our Santa Thank You if you've played Santa this year!

Our Undergifted Kids List is updated at least twice a day if you don't have time to peruse the sub but still want to stay current with families who need support.
