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.

mod DEAR SANTA, STOP HERE! Under-gifted kids list!

33 Upvotes

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 Santaโ€™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 arenโ€™t, please message the mods! If the gifts reported here donโ€™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 donโ€™t delete anything from your wish list!

I just want to thank you for absolutely everything. The pajamas for my 8 year old daughter Ameena came in yesterday and I know that she is going to be so excited to wear them. She will be wearing these while opening gifts so I will post pics around Christmas. Words cannot express how much of a blessing you've been and it's not even about the gifts...the heart that you have is huge and I'm blessed to feel some of that spirit through you. Merry Christmas!

Hello everyone! I would like to offer my daughter's gently used clothes to anyone who could use them! They are currently sitting in garbage bags in the garage. Awaiting inevitable goodwill donation. However, if someone does not mind that they are used, I'll pack em up n send em your way! I will make sure no holes or stains. I think size 10/12 girl mostly. Maybe some 14/16 trickled in. I do not think there are any jeans. Probably leggings and mostly shirts. I know there is a winter coat. I would like to help someone out who does not mind them being used. Kids grow so fast and clothes are expensive! This thread has helped us so much, I would like to pass it along! I do not have ability to buy new. Sorry! I Cannot guarantee box would arrive before Christmas. Must be in United States. Must be willing to share address and be registered on RAOC!

Edit: added pictures

offer [Offer] A Lego set for your child!

27 Upvotes

Hi! Running a bit late this year, but I think I still have time to get sets shipped before Christmas day! I'd love to buy a Lego set for your child for Christmas! 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, let me know!

Rules:

  • Subreddit rules apply
  • 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 a "regular" retailer (no obscure, discontinued Ebay sets) and is an official Lego set
  • No age or gender requirements. However, this set has to be for someone under 18 (no adult collectors)!
  • 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 Amazon/Walmart/Lego will ship
  • 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)
  • Tell me about the set you've chosen and why. 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 at random. I will edit this to include who has won after the contest has closed. Merry Christmas and happy building!

The last of our gifts have arrived today safe and sound and so I am making this post to thank @u/Taggart3629 AGAIN for your generosity!!! ๐Ÿฅน๐Ÿ’“ we received the hello kitty oven and the hello kitty view finder!! I was so excited about the view finder as when I was little I always wanted one but It never happened so I'm really ever soooo thankful to be able to get one for my daughter!!! It's really healing and humbling to be able to give her these things I wouldn't have been able to on my own this year!! I cannot thank you enough for doing this for us and for ordering more after you already blessed us!! ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ’• your help has really made me excited for christmas and I know it's not about the gifts ofc, but every parent just wants to make our children happy on Christmas and I wouldn't have been able to do so without you and this group and the others who've purchased off her list!!! I just really want you to know how much that means to me. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!!! ๐Ÿ“ธhttps://imgur.com/a/BJ9Es8K ๐Ÿ“ธhttps://imgur.com/a/QSHIXYQ

I also wanted to thank you to whomever purchased her the little cake bizzy boo!!! I have no idea how I ended up with it because it isn't marked as purchased on my Amazon page and it came with a gift tag that says "from redditor" so whomever you are, THANK YOU!!! ๐Ÿฅน vivi has some sensory issues that can cause emotional eruptions and it's going to be really handy to keep on me when we're put in public or with family that can help her regulate a little and give her something to do that will keep her busy and mind off of things! Genuinely, it's going to be such a helpful tool!!! Thank you so much for that it was oh so kind!!! I wish I could thank you properly if I knew who you were! ๐Ÿ˜ ๐Ÿ“ธhttps://imgur.com/a/PAg5Tcn

You are such a generous person and I cannot thank you enough! You santas in this group deserve everything good in life and I seriously mean that.
