FAMILY WISHLISTS
We don’t always know what kids ask while sitting on Santa’s lap or mailing their Christmas list to the North Pole. However, we want to provide our nominated families an equal chance to have one of our Adopting Angels fulfill their wishlist.
These tips and gift suggestions will help guide our families and nominating partners to create a list that our donors can reasonably deliver. Together, we can bring more families and Angels together to make more Christmas dreams come true.


Guidelines
- As our program is focused on helping families with children, there must be one person under 18-years-old in the household.
- We do not allow wishlists for unborn children or pets.
- Please complete profiles in full, including clothing and shoe sizes.
- We suggest prioritizing children’s wishlists, including 3-4 gift suggestions.
- We advise limiting adult wishlists to 2 gift suggestions, and multi-generational households to 1 suggestion per extended family member.
- In addition to wishlist items, we also ask that families provide a few interests, hobbies, favorite movies/TV shows and characters, favorite colors, or other personal notes for each individual member. This information allows our donors to learn more about the family they have adopted and find personalized gifts.
- While we allow families to include a big-ticket item, we limit this to one per household. A big ticket item is a single item over $200 in value.
ITEMS THAT ARE NOT ALLOWED
- We do not allow rental assistance, bill payments, house repairs, cars, car repairs, cell phone plans, gym memberships or travel.
- We do not allow wishlists that only ask for gift cards.
- We do not allow more than one big-ticket item per household (you cannot include per individuals)
Due to the high volume of requests, any wishlists that do not follow our guidelines will be automatically declined.
