This subreddit was inspired by several others in the same vein. The idea is that you can come here and share your Amazon wishlist, and if internet strangers are so inclined, they may send you gifts on or near your Birthday. This is not only for children, though you may post a child's wishlist if you'd like.

Some rules to start out:

Only post your wishlist within a month of your Birthday. (not 6 months before, get it?)

Posting your wishlist does not necessarily mean you will get gifts. It is all at the discretion of your fellow redditors and whether they are feeling generous.

You may post a wishlist on someone else's behalf (in fact it is encouraged because how awesome would it be for people to get surprises in the mail from strangers!), but be very diligent to not post personal information!

Make sure your address is private on your wishlist if you don't want stalkers.

Make sure there IS an address attached to your wishlist so the gifts can arrive at their destination.

While it may be used as such, this subreddit is not necessarily made for charity (such as r/randomactsofchristmas). If you want to nominate someone's wishlist because they are on hard times or whatever, that is just fine, but you may also nominate wishlists (including your own) just because you think someone deserves it/is awesome/etc.

This is a new subreddit, so there are bound to be some hiccups. Please PM a mod about any issues you come across and we will do our best to solve the problem. Suggestions are always welcome too.

My birthday is May 16th and I would love some art stuff!

I got a lot of time on my hands, sitting around doing nothing makes me extremely depressed, which really sucks because I've been suffering from chronic depression since I was 8. My birthday is next month and I'll be 30. I don't have any family anymore and only 2 friends, but I'm not trying to make this a sob story. For my birthday this year, I would love some Perler bead character supplies! You'd be giving me the best birthday I've had since I was 7 years old.

If I got the things on this list, you would make my entire year, and then some. Thank you so much.

Mom's 50th Birthday

Hello!! My mom's 50'th birthday is coming up. My parents and I within the last year have escaped homelessness, moving hotel to hotel with suitcases and buses/biking to work. With alot of help and hard work we were able to get out of that situation and now live in a duplex. My mom has done so much recently and it breaks my heart I'm not able to give her everything I want. Being 50 is such a milestone when you've been through what she has and I want to really show she matters to me. Our house is very small and cluttered, also needing alot of essential repairs like drawers and cabinets. I want to fix up our home to make her happy but I recently lost my job, I'm a college student and with her birthday being at the end of the month I don't know if I'll have enough time to earn enough to make it happen. Between selling clothes and finding a quick side hustle this was my last resort!!

Sons 8th birthday

My son is turning 8 the 16th of January. Would anyone be up to sending him a birthday card? He loves getting mail and is always checking to see if there is anything addressed to him. I think this would put a big smile on his face and show him that people thought of him.

Shelter birthday!

I'm in transitional housing and moving to a shelter soon. It's my last week until I have to go. I just want something good to eat, it's been so long since I've had anything that I didn't cook myself from food bank supplies. Anything would be appreciated. I am grateful for any and all kindness.

Homeless 21st birthday

I turn 21 next month and haven’t celebrated a birthday since I was 8 years old. I really want to celebrate my 21st birthday the way most people do. I just want one birthday that I get to feel like everyone else my age. Last year I lost everything and I’m still struggling to get a grip and rebuild. I know my birthday shouldn’t be such a priority given my situation, but due to no transportation and my chronic pain issues no one in my town will hire me. I don’t think anyone can help me very much in that department, so I’m asking if someone could help me celebrate a little if possible.

I would appreciate it so much if someone could get me a one or two things off of my Amazon Wishlist or PayPal me. I tried to put a good mix of necessities and wants.

75th birthday wishes for my dad

I need your help!

My dad, Yvon, turns 75 in September. For obvious reasons, we can’t do a big party for him, but I still want to give him the feeling of LOTS of people celebrating this momentous day with him. And so, I have a HUGE favor to ask you! It would mean the world if you would be willing to write Yvon a birthday wish email. I hope to get at least 50 messages (I have 27 so far), and I will print them all out and present them to him in a big box on his birthday. I welcome messages in English, Creole, or French, and they can be as short or long as you want! Please also feel free to share this message far and wide—the more messages I receive, the better. Thank you!

You can send your birthday wish to Yvon75birthday@gmail.com

[Request] Birthday mail for my daughter’s birthday in July 7th.

My kiddo will be 14 on July 7th (she was born on 07/07/07). I would like to surprise her with some cards/mail from y’all — assuming anyone is still active on this sub. It seems common to tell a sob story on here for some reason but I don’t have anything negative to say — I just want her to be surprised and happy. TIA.

November 27th!

My birthday is this upcoming Friday, the 27th. I don’t have many friends and the day is going to be super busy as we’re moving that day too!

I have an Amazon wish list and there are some super cheap things on there but I’m happy just to get some birthday wishes, honestly. I literally have two friends in the world outside of my husband and children, and just want to feel some love.

I feel selfish making this post but I don’t usually ask for things for myself so I figured it’s okay to do every now and then.

Birthday wish of roadside attractions!

My partner and I started an Etsy shop selling really beautiful resin pieces we've been making to help fund our buying a van to do my dream 48 state road trip to many of the world's largest roadside attractions and national parks. It's my birthday month, and any help to make this dream of mine come true would be the best gift. Our etsy is etsy.com/shop/mayonacreations

Thank you <3
