Merry Christmas!

I realize I shouldn't be concerned about gifts for a teenager. But I am. Our family has experienced some pretty hard times this year. We have lost our business and our home. Colton has spent the last two months staying with his older sister, so he could continue to attend his school. He has now joined me and his father at a relatives house. He will be changing school districts part way thru senior year. Throughout all of this, he has stayed strong! No complaining, keeping his grades up, doing what he can to be helpful. He is such a good kid! About Colton. He is addicted to Lego Clone Wars! He loves the musical Hamilton. And like most teens, he is crazy about his Xbox. He listens to Spotify and youtube music. Loves movies. Thank you for reading. https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/3GD9NFLVPDPF6?ref_=wl_share

Happy Holidays Everyone,

It’s been a hard year for my 2 kids due to a recent neurological issues my husband has dealt with since April. They are both really good kids and have been brave throughout everything.

My son John just turned 12. He is an empathetic, sensitive kid and an amazing big brother to his little sister. He loves anime, dungeons and dragons, and video games.

My daughter Lucy is 7. She is funny, quick witted and a perfect combination of sweet and sassy. She is a “girly girl” and loves all the typical girly things such as dolls, fashion, and hanging out with her friends.

Greetings of the season to all the Santas!

Rosalind is 12 ½ years old, as I'm always reminded. That extra ½ is important as she's rearing up to become a teenager - aaaak!

In all seriousness, she is a great kid. She's in a middle school magnet program for the arts, and is in 7th grade this year. She has a very close knit group of friends who she's been best friends with since 2nd grade, even though one of them has been going to a different school for the past two years.

Right after winter holidays (we celebrate both Christmas and Hanukkah), we'll going to be starting to pack for a very long move from way down south to about 1,200 miles north. With all of a certain kind of transplant in the last few years, Florida has gotten too expensive for us to survive. I've been here 40 years and never imagined leaving, but we're off to new adventures. Unfortunately for her, our lease ends during the school year, do she'll not only be leaving her best buds behind, but landing in a new city without knowing anyone yet. So, her list is more on the practical side, aimed at fitting in uniquely.

All "extra money" this year is going towards the move, so this is going to be a really meager holiday. She understands this and it's sort of heartbreaking because she's always so excited at this time of year. I was trying to chat with her to get ideas for this list, and her responses were all either "there's no room to pack it" or " there's not enough time to use it". Ugh, my heart. I don't want her to grow up this quickly!

Anyway, hopefully next year we will be in better shape financially in our new location, and I can join the Santa side of this wonderful sub. Until then, I hope a Santa or three can put some gifts under the tree and menorah. Thank you all!

Edit: I forgot to add her wishlist! wishlist

I forgot to add a recent photo of her. She'd just gotten her long hair chopped off and is trying short curls now. Rosalind

This year has been quite a challenge for me and my family! I had surgery very early this year and ended up with complications of an open unhealing wound. Which then turned into MRSA and and then turned into an infection in my bones. Resulting in another surgery. And then turned into another wound that didn’t want to heal. It has been a hard , long, fearful , painful, and stressful road this whole year and I am still not at the end of it. It has been hard for my family to survive this whole year on just one income as I haven’t been able to work because of my medical issues. I really cannot wait for 2025 so I can put this whole year behind me and have my health/body finally healed so I can finally feel well enough to live a life again.

🩷 My daughter Violet is 8 years old. She is unique and kind. Creative in art and so outgoing, she makes friends with everyone. Anyone sitting alone or anyone that is scared on their first day, she goes out her way and makes them feel welcome. She absolutely loves Studio Ghibli movies, Pokemon and Sailor moon. She will draw all the characters and color them. She likes dolls that look different from all the others, like monster high and Lol dolls. Ever since she was very small the more unique and different the doll the more she loved it. She loves to play with calico critters and play video games. Shes my super unique and sweet girl and I’m very proud of everything she does! 🩷

Hello and happy Turkey week for those of you in tthe US! I appreciate the opportunity to be here and am so happy to introduce you to my two boys. They really are pretty amazing kiddos, I mean for sure at least the 11 year old is (haha) my 15 month old is just cute at this stage but I'm sure he will grow into an amazing human like his big brother.

Jameson https://imgur.com/a/m7VWKvM

As oldest and my Ride or Die, Jameson is forever my first love. He is SO smart, and kind, and meme-y. The world for Jamie is an open-world video game in which his sole purpose is to emote and be silly. He loves NF Music, AJR, Minecraft, Legos, and anything that is a meme. He's a high red belt in taekwondo, just 1 more then he will be a black belt! He works hard and plays harder and is one of my favorite humans of all time.

This is Jamie's wishlist: https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/108T30UI6KF6E?ref_=wl_share

Now Mr. Azariah is my spitfire. He is stubborn and confident but still silly and sweeat. He loves his brother and to crawl around getting into everything he shouldn't! He was my surprise baby and any amazing addition to our crew. This little boy will light up the room with his smile and laugh. He loves Bluey and Mickey mouse and is learning, ever so slowly, to walk. He's a total mommy's boy but don't tell dad.

Hello! My name is Sierra. I am 28F Single mother in Nebraska. I am one of those mothers that always tries my best to go all out for my 2 boys (Quincy Age 5 and Adrian Age 7). I tend to go without my own wants and needs to be able to provide a better quality of life for my boys especially for Christmas and Birthdays (as I’m sure most of us moms do, am I right?) They’ve never gone without I’ve made sure of it. However, this year looks different in our household. About a month ago I was in a 4 car pile up crash on my way to school-pick up. I was the last vehicle in the pile up and only had liability insurance so unfortunately my vehicle was totaled. I spent about 2 weeks in bed with severe whiplash unable to bend over or move much. Unfortunately I did lose my job as well due to the lack of transportation. I have since then found a new job selling Solar virtually from home. However, it’s a commission based gig and I haven’t brought home an actual paycheck yet. We are falling behind on a lot of things but I’m doing my best with what I have available to me.

About my kids:

Quincy Age 5 - Quincy passed an exam in our school district in order to be enrolled in kindergarten early this year :) He was 4 at the time. He is keeping up with the other kids and excelling. Quincy LOVES being a helper. He is smart and kind. Quincy also excels in sports. He absolutely adores soccer - he has also played teeball. Come spring/summer he wants to try out basketball and flag football next. Quincy is a leader he likes to set an example of following directions and giving his best effort. He also loves puppies and arts and crafts.

Adrian Age 7 - Adrian is in 2nd grade and he was selected last year to be in the advanced gifted program at school. This will carry with him through senior year and means he will be occasionally pulled out of class to engage in learning at a higher level. Adrian does not particularly enjoy sports - he aspires to one day be a famous YouTuber like MrBeast! Adrian also enjoys playing Minecraft. I am looking into finding some kind of coding club for kids in our area to feed his hobbies and interests. I think he would be great at computer science and it makes for a great skill for his future!

We really appreciate the opportunity to be a part of this group. I am inspired by the selflessness that the Santas here display. Not only financially but also in the giving of their time and effort. I do pray to one day be in a position that I may give back as well. Thank you for your consideration.

Christmas has always been a joyful time and as adults, we always try to make it that way for the children. I never knew as a child, how much it took to mask any hardships just to make the season Magical, "Merry & Bright". Now I do, I truly know the hardships and I am able to make the season Merry & Bright through it all but I'm still struggling to provide the magic. I remember growing up as a poor family thinking that I wouldn't get much...just to wake up on Christmas and bask in the magic that my mom and village made happen.

So, I'm asking this village of "Santas" to help me provide the same joy that I had...that unfortunately I am not able to provide.

My daughter is Ameena, she is a beautiful child, filled with joy, love and peace. She loves God and Christmas is special for her because of His blessings. She is very spirited and spunky...sometimes spicy and sassy but all in a good way. She is always helping others and "donating" even though we don't have much. She is an excellent student who is reading beyond her 3rd grade level and she excells in all of her subjects. 3rd grade brings multiplication so on her list is a multiplication game so that she can be able to master that also.

She is a Brownie in Girl Scouts and loves community, serving, outdoors activities and really everything fun.

I would love for her to have a prosperous and joyful Christmas.

I am a single mom of 1 who suffers with mental health struggles but I am doing what I need to in order to thrive for her and for myself.

I also have my God daughter with me much of the time, she is 9. Her mom (my best friend) was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis so I try to keep her as much as I can so that she can also enjoy her childhood. She and my daughter are best friends, just as her mother and I are (since high school). Just being 44 (both of us) and the things that life has thrown at us, keeps us bonded and shows our daughters the strength that is within us because of our faith.

I am grateful for everything and I appreciate especially any blessings that come my daughter's way.

Thank you! Happy Thanksgiving, Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

Hello, I'm new here. We live in a rural area of Virginia on my parent's farm. I drive 45 minutes to and from work 5 days a week. My girls are everything to me. Neither one of their biological fathers are in their lives, but my boyfriend is the love of my life and treats them like they're his own.

Pictures

Kiara is my energetic tomboy. She will not wear a dress or skirt unless she has to. She loves playing team sports and helping her friends. She played softball this Spring and planted a small garden. She loves Science and Dinosaurs. She doesn't like being in photos much anymore, but I know what it's like not to have childhood photos, so I'm taking them anyway.

Riley is my little girly girl. She will have a total meltdown if a dress isn't an option for her. She has to have her hands in absolutely everything. She also loves being the center of attention. She likes anything pink and loves unicorns (Kiara's too cool to like unicorns now).

Kiara

Riley

I hope you guys can imagine my daughter's excitement to see this big huge amazon box be delivered today! It was as tall as her. 😂 thanks amazon! I guess they couldn't fit the skateboard in anything smaller LOL Thank you u/binary_search_tree for the gifts that arrived today!

Hello everyone, thank you for taking the time to read my post! I want to take the opportunity to thank everyone involved in this subreddit in advance, you’re all amazing people and the world is a better place with you in it.

My name is Eli. My husband Noah and I are loving parents to our 3 wonderful kids. I thank the forces of the universe all the time for my kiddos!

For a while Noah and I were both at home with the children as they are a full time parent and I worked from home. This was super helpful especially because our two boys are on the autism spectrum. However, recently my work from home job unfortunately decided to require us back in office. This means that right before the holidays we’re dealing with a shift in finances, schedules, emotions, EVERYTHING. That’s why we’re reaching out for some extra help this year!

Now onto the kids! Blake is a tech savvy kid. Gaming and electronics are his favorite things. He also loves taking things apart and figuring out how they work, as well as building new things.

Hi everyone, thank you for accepting me into this amazing community! I am a single momma of 3 beautiful little girls. I am a waitress, and I work very hard to keep our home and pay the bils on my own. This year has been filled with struggles. My children have had no contact with their dad this year. They are grieving the loss of someone who turned his back on them. Unfortunately, holidays and birthdays are nearly impossible for me to afford right now. I truly would appreciate help more than anything at Christmas time.

Amelia is 6. She is in first grade. She's very smart and mature for her age. She is passionate about drawing, she loves animals, and she's so unintentionally funny. She received two kindness awards at school this year.
Aviana is 4. Her birthday is right after Christmas. She starts school next year, she's a mommas girl, she loves her sisters. She loves to build/create stuff (messes 😂) she is a ball of energy and keeps me on my toes. Isabella is our baby (2) and she fits right in with her big sisters. They are all best friends. Isabella loves bluey and cocomelon. She meows like a cat around the house and she's sweet and funny!

Thank you for reading about my family. I would love to share pictures after Christmas, and I'm super thankful to anyone willing to help.I hope this Chrisfmas is filled with magical memories for you and your family 🎄 https://imgur.com/gallery/bE10X5m

Hello Santas,

Thank you for allowing to ask for help this year for my amazing son. I am honored to be his mom. His name is Liam. You can see his personality in his pictures. https://imgur.com/a/8LKjVYe

He’s on the Spectrum but highly functioning. He was also diagnosed with ADHD. I do work fulltime as well as attend college online. I also try to do Instacart on my off days while my son is in the school. I’ve been living paycheck to paycheck trying to stay afloat. I’ve recently gotten behind on bills causing me to become overwhelmed. I can barely keep food on the table and now the holidays have arrived. Not only am I worried about Christmas. Liam turns 8 on December 9^(th).

A little more about Liam is he’s on the A/B honor roll. He loves coin collecting and currency, reading about the planets and moon. He is obsessed with the Tesla cybertruck. We have made it our mission to snap a pic of everyone we spot while driving around. He’s a huge Michael Jackson fan. He was the King of Pop for Halloween this year. He’s a boy who loves collecting rocks and lizards when he can catch them as well. He’s a gamer who loves Minecraft on Xbox. He also likes to get outside and burn energy and get dirty when he can.

I would be so grateful if anyone would be willing to lend a helping hand to my son and I during this time of need. Thank you in advance.

Here is a wish list of items that would help out tremendously. https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/1KL0XEDATFCK?ref_=wl_share

Hello Santa's,

I'm coming to you for help for my kids this holiday season.

Each of my kids have so many wonderful things about them, they are empathetic and giving individuals.

Their dad has severe mental health issues and this year it pushed us to separating.

My kids have been adjusting so well, but in all the turnoil there is nothing left for them for Christmas.

About my kids-

Grace is 15 and learning to drive. She is really into horror, vinyl, and anything creative.

She is so smart and funny, I love getting to know her as she grows and changes. I have a special girl here.

Maggie will be 9 right after Christmas, she is 8 now. She loves dolls and make up, things to play pretend with. She is too funny and is starting to say really witty things.

Luke is my youngest and my only boy. He loves engines, cars, tools, Marvel, Batman, etc ..

He is getting into Star Wars and wants to grow his hair to look like Kort Cobain. He is so funny and loving, my little snuggle dude.

I know it's a rough year for everyone, ANY help for my kiddos would be greatly appreciated.

Hi everyone! We have been struggling to afford bills and groceries since my hours were cut in September and are in need of help for our kids' Christmas. We live in Terre Haute, Indiana. Thank you for considering us and thank you for everything you do for kiddos each year - this subreddit is amazing!

Our oldest, Jacobi, is 16. He is a sophomore and already has three college credits and an OSHA certification. He works really hard in school and he spends a lot of time helping my parents with things that need to be done around her house. He loves Magic: The Gathering, D&D, and playing card games. Jacobi's Wishlist

Ember is 14 and loves anything to do with music. She spends most of her time listening to Spotify with her headphones. She has a suitcase record player in her room that she uses all the time. She also loves to sew and has been hand-sewing for about three years now. She's also very kind and goes out of her way to be there for her friends when they need her. Ember's Wishlist

Riddick just turned 13 yesterday and he loves building with Legos. He shares a room with his younger brothers and has an area underneath his loft bed with a shelf to display his creations. He also loves rocks and has a rock tumbler he uses nonstop. After visiting our state's geological survey on a field trip, he decided he wants to be a geologist when he grows up. He also spends a lot of his time helping out my parents around their house. Riddick's Wishlist

Rodrick is 11 and loves sports. He ran cross country in the fall for his middle school and plans to run track in the spring and has been running almost daily at the park to "be ready" as he puts it for when track comes. He also participates in our local community theater and played a dwarf in this year's Snow White Variety Show. He gives everything he does 110%. He stands up for his friends, which has resulted in some problems with bullies at his school, but he hasn't let it get him down or stop speaking up when he sees something happening that he knows isn't right. Rodrick's Wishlist

Elliott turned 9 on November 1st. He's in third grade and his teachers say that he is one of their most attentive students. He loves magnets and has our refrigerator covered in them. He likes building toys, slime, and having Nerf wars with his brothers. He is a great kid with a big heart. Elliott's Wishlist

Hi Santas,

It’s been quite a year for my little one and I. We left a highly abusive relationship, and are on our own now. Luckily, we are both safe and protected. It’s been a rough year navigating being a solo single mom, and I can’t tell you how grateful we are for you Santa’s that want to help those in need ❤️❤️ My little Morgan is a bundle of joy that is just the happiest little girl that loves just about everything, except the food mommy feeds her on her plate, hehe. She’s always been obsessed with reading books, but lately has taken an interest in music and just figured out how to dance and loves dancing to music and wiggling her little body and singing! She also is fascinated with anything with wheels. Trucks, cars, trains, you name it! Happiest of holidays to everyone and thank you for everything ❤️❤️

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.

Hi everyone!

As many of you are probably aware, there has been ongoing confusion with Amazon's "needs 1" label on items Santa's have already purchased.

In an attempt to lessen duplicate gifts, and confusion, so it's easier to spread the cheer this season, we are going to ask anyone with a request post up to add a comment that says "purchased" on any item on their wishlists that have already been purchased by our generous Santa's.

Users with requests up

• We ask you to please go into each wishlist, and for any item that has already been purchased, add a comment on that item that says "purchased."

• When a Santa comments telling you they have ordered items, please update your wishlists by doing the same.

• In the case of receiving gifts from a Secret Santa, please update the list when you receive the item.

How to add a comment to a wishlist item

Go to your wishlist, and find the item that was purchased.

Click the three dots next to it.

Hit "add comment, quantity, & priority."

In the "enter comments" box write "purchased" and then hit save.

Hello Santas! This year has been one of big changes for our family. We recently packed up and moved to a new state. We’re so thankful to be here and settling in, but it's also been a lot to navigate, especially with the holidays approaching.

Cai is a smart and creative 11 year old. He’s very into Pokemon cards right now! Seeing him light up when he talks about them is such a joy.

Lee is a bundle of energy who keeps us on our toes! She brings so much joy and silliness to our days.

Thank you so much for taking the time to read about our family. Wishing you all a wonderful holiday season!

Hello everybody, it’s been quite a year for me. Between taking care of two small special-needs children, and many appointments, I haven’t had as much work as I’ve wanted to, so I’m asking for help this Christmas from your wonderful Santa’s.

Alexander is nine years old. He loves Pokémon Minecraft and pretty much anything electronic. He’s a great artist and he also loves to read. He’s my smart little guy and I love him very much.

Riley is nonverbal autistic so I have asked for mostly sensory toys for him. He is amazing and always happy and he loves Mickey Mouse and Vampirina. He also loves pretty much any Disney movie. He has made my life amazing.

And last, but not least little Evelyn, who is full of sass even at two years old even being also non verbal. She’s amazing and happy and she loves her brothers. She also loves Vampirina and Bluey. She’s never too busy for a hug.

Thank you so much in advance to all the Santas out there and I will link the wish list below.

Hello everyone! We’ve had a year full of changes, some good and some not so good. We lost our housing in Florida earlier in the year, but were lucky enough to land here in Michigan with family. From one peninsula to another!

Wolf is 12 now, and although he isn’t quite a teenager yet, he may as well be! He always hated the heat, so he is at least enjoying the cooler climate of Michigan. He is very much into tech and gaming, but in the warmer months he has enjoyed being able to be outside without “roasting to death”. And although he is almost a teenage boy, he is a very practical one. Honestly getting ideas from him for Christmas this year was a little bit of a challenge, as he doesn’t feel the need for lots of impractical random stuff (there’s that practicality). Wolf has had a bit of a struggle with making new friends, so he has definitely found solace in being able to game online with his friends in Florida. He tends to be shy and reserved, until you get to know him. Then he is boisterous and funny (with the caveat of teenage boy humor being somewhat subjective).

Silas is 6, and although he struggles mightily with change, he has done so well with the major life upheaval we all experienced. He is a rabid fan of the cold, and cannot wait until it snows. He makes sure to check in multiple times a week to see if any snow is on the horizon. Silas’s big love right now (besides the hopefully impending snow) is space, specifically black holes. He is utterly fascinated with them, and his favorite thing to watch is the PBS Nova documentary “Black Hole Apocalypse”. He is the kindest little boy I’ve ever known, and frequently quips that he wishes he could take other’s pain away. He loves jokes and making people laugh, and I frequently have to consult the internet for jokes to tell him because I burned through all the ones I know long ago.

Thank you to everyone, and I hope we all have the Merriest of Christmases!

Hi Santas! This is our first year requesting help on Reddit, and we are so thankful for this sub! I have been taking some time off work while studying for my Master's degree and dealing with health issues. Less than a month ago I finally received a Lupus diagnosis, and I am hopeful that I'll feel better soon after I start my treatment. here's a picture of us (taken by dad)!

Our kiddos are smart, energetic, inquisitive, happy and caring. José is autistic, and in the last year his verbal skills have flourished so much! He still struggles some days, but he is so much happier now that he feels comfortable voicing his needs. His older brother Carlos is in fourth grade and currently undergoing evaluations because the school thinks he should be at a higher grade level, but we worry because he's already younger than his classmates, even though he is one of the tallest in his class!

Our boys love playing soccer, listening to music, reading, creating art and solving puzzles. They love learning about the world around them, and get so excited when we take them often to public parks to learn about nature, as well as when they experience cultural and historical activities. The museums near our home have free family days, and they love it when we take advantage of those events! They are interested in photography and videography, science (we do family-friendly experiments when we find the time), and also love playing board games as well as video games.

At the time of the post they are 4 and 8 years old, but their birthdays are coming up, so by Christmas they will be 5 and 9 years old. This year obviously we don't have the funds to have a big celebration for their birthdays, but they are wonderful boys who are happy with a small gift and doing fun things like going to the park or the museum, and thankfully we were able to secure their birthday gifts earlier this year, so I don't want Santas to worry about that!!

Here are their wishlists: - Carlos' wishlist - José's wishlist

Their wishlists are updated to note which items have been purchased. I will continue to update as soon as I see the notification that an item has been bought.

Thank you for this opportunity to make our boys' holidays magical! This is the first time we are struggling so much, and finding this sub has been such a blessing. Wishing everyone a beautiful holiday season ❤️

Hello, I hope you are all doing well this holiday season! Thank you again for this opportunity and for the selfless generosity of the Santas. This year has been hard and our family lives paycheck to paycheck as I know many others do too. Our kids are soooo excited for Christmas though, you definitely can’t help but be filled with the Christmas spirit as well. For the past week we’ve been playing nonstop Christmas movies and music around our home. Our eldest has been impatiently watching to see when Christmas lights will finally start being displayed around. Our letters have already been written up for Santa and the countdown to Christmas has officially begun! For those that help bless our family this year with providing gifts for our little ones, I can’t express how thankful my husband and I are. It means the world to us.

Diana is our always optimistic 6 year old who never misses an opportunity to make a new friend. Whether she's busy creating her own comic books or trying her hand at a new video game, Diana approaches every aspect of life with enthusiasm and a can-do attitude. She loves the color purple, all forms of art, and wants to be a mommy when she grows up. She’s done an amazing job this year helping her sister adjust to having a new sibling while also helping me out with the baby. Diana is the most selfless and big hearted person I’ve ever met and I couldn’t be more proud of her. https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/2L57Q653HED1E?ref_=wl_share

Amelia is our little go-getter, always bursting with energy and confidence! She’s full of personality and is absolutely thriving in preschool. She constantly keeps us on our toes with her determination and imagination. It was hard on her at first not being “the baby” anymore but she’s come a long way and absolutely adores both her siblings. Her favorite color is blue, she loves Bluey, and she wants to be a doctor when she grows up. It definitely takes time to earn her trust and love but once you do, she is fiercely loyal and extremely loving. https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/GU7NY4CY2JK2?ref_=wl_share

Killian, our spirited 1 year old, has grown from a tiny newborn last Christmas into a playful and curious toddler. He’s constantly exploring his world, crawling, climbing, and lately even taking steps. Killian always has a smile on his face and his favorite thing in the world is playing with his big sisters. His temperament is very mild, he’s brave, and growing more independent by the day but I’m thankful that for now he’s never too busy for a cuddle with mommy and daddy. https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/3ALE3EICGP9V3?ref_=wl_share
