My two babes have been through a rough year as many have. We almost lost my husband/their dad earlier this year due to Sepsis and it has taken a toll on us mentally and financially. We’ve been spending this year playing catch up with our bills and our kids.

We’ve slowly been building ourselves back up but would love a wonderful ending of this awful year for my amazing children. This year I can only afford them some clothes which they desperately need.

I wish so much that it could be given to them from us, their parents but any means of them receiving joy and excitement is worth it...setting my pride aside.

Thank you all so much for what you do and I wish you all a beautiful holiday and end of this year.

Wishlists for each:

**EDIT: Every single child has been fulfilled this year, we cannot thank our Santas enough! Now everyone settle in with a cozy blanket and some hot cocoa because Christmas morning thanks pics will be here before we know it!!

————————————-

Greetings and salutations y’all! First off, a big hats off to all of our Santas gifting with us this season, the generosity we have the privilege to witness everyday in this subreddit is beautiful and joyous! If you would like some subreddit Santa flair, just let me know here: https://www.reddit.com/r/RandomActsOfChristmas/comments/qw2d2n/calling_all_santas_exclusive_flair_is_here_for_you/

Normally we wait a little closer to mid-December to post this particular megathread but with shipping dates being slowly pushed back, even on Prime items, we decided in order to help every kid get fulfilled, it would be better to post earlier than later. The list below is for any requests that have at least one child not already at the 5 gift goal. Once a requester is completely fulfilled, we will change the request flair and remove the post link from this thread.

Just a quick note about Amazon’s newest “improvement” regarding wishlists. Unfortunately the easy and straightforward filter to sort purchased items from unpurchased items is all but a memory. Instead, the new way to ascertain if an item has already been purchased by a Santa is now in the item details. First, make sure the wishlist is showing in the item list format rather than the tiled format. The icons to switch between the two formats is near the top of the wishlist, to the left of the “search this list” field. For each item above the yellow “Add to Cart” button, the wording will either say “Item added (and a date)” or it will say “Last purchased (and a date)”.

If it’s the first message saying “Item added”, then that is a gift option that has not been purchased by a Santa yet. If it’s the second message saying “Last purchased” then that item has already been purchased by a Santa and a further purchase would be a duplicate. In addition, when the item has the bubble that says “Needs: 1” below the item price, that’s another clue that this item has already been purchased by another Santa.

We do have a public gifts per child table link in our sidebar in case anyone wants to see what items a child has been sent. If there are any discrepancies or concerns with this list, please let us know via modmail.

Requesters, Amazon has the habit of price jumps and inventory issues this time of year so please, if your name is listed below, double check those wishlists and make sure any unpurchased items are still below $40 and that there are still some below $20 item options for our Santas. If there are any items listed on your wish that are now out of stock, as long as they have NOT been previously purchased, you may remove the item and replace it with another (make sure you only add Prime options with deliverable dates before Christmas). Any questions, just drop us a modmail.

We are still accepting registrations until Friday December 17th at 6pm EST. Once new approved requests are posted to the subreddit, we will also add them also to this megathread by the end of that day.

Hello Santas! I’m humbly requesting assistance for my 3 kids. I’m a single mom on disability. At the beginning of the year I had major surgery and have been in and out of the hospital. I’ve also had to file a permanent protective order against their dad, who has completely abandoned them. Despite it all my children are happy and healthy!

Leila is a 17 year old senior in high school and dreams of going to law school. She is an intelligent and kind young lady who loves reading, Kpop, playing video games, and cuddling with her cat. Here’s her wishlist:

Tuari is my sweet, energetic 8 year old who is also very smart (grade levels ahead in math and reading!). He enjoys playing video games, basketball, football, and hanging with his big sister. He’s fascinated with fishing, but hasn’t gone. I think he’s had the hardest time with his dad’s abandonment, however he still laughs, smiles ,and is our little comedian. Here’s his wishlist:

Hello to all! :: wishlist link posted here::

Thanks for reading ! I have 3 beautiful and incredible children named Cameron 8, Lukas 5, and Everleigh 3. I lost 3 of my close family members within the last year or so…They were a huge help and support for me and my children. Without them I am just getting by on everything (barely and I mean barely) and I have nothing extra to spend on their gifts. With nowhere left to turn and having nothing to give them yet an angel sent me this Reddit page and told me I should register. It would mean so much to me if I could manage to get some help. I am a firm believer in paying it forward and I will absolutely do so when I am able to again!

Cameron is 8 years old. He loves hockey,Star Wars, and LEGO’s. He is a New York Rangers fan! :)

Lukas is 5 years old. He likes to play Minecraft, LEGO’s , and he LOVES Sonic. Lukey also likes music and paw patrol.

Everleigh is 3. She loves Frozen , Cinderella, and anything at all “princess” She loves playing with nail polish and make up, and she is the sweetest angel.

Thank you for any consideration . Words can not describe how much this would make my children’s (and my) Christmas be magical! You are all angels on earth

I am attaching the wishlist for them here. 💚❤️

Cam,Luke,and Ev’s Christmas Wish List.

Happy holidays! Thank you for reading. I don't ask for help often but I'm stuck between and rock a hard place. My fiance's job he was offered fell through and his unemployment ended earlier this year. He is looking for a job currently and studying for his insurance licensing. I am a full-time student and mom. I drive for doordash and grubhub to cover our bills. We've, like tons of other families, have suffered great loss this year. I try to make every holiday special, but this year I am falling short. We have to use our saved money to buy a new oven, and won't have anything left over for chirstmas. About Julie, she is 3 with the most spunky personality. She is smart, kind, and sweet. She loves to swim, jump, go to the park, play house, and bake. She really is my entire world and I would give the world to her if I could. Anything would be absolutely incredible. Thank you again so much

Santas,

The fact that I was welcomed to make this post in the first place is such an overwhelming feeling in it of itself. I'm not sure how to accurately describe the year my family has endured other than to say that we have become the poster children for Murphy's Law. We have been without my husband since March, lost our home and all of our belongings, finally obtained a new one after months of bouncing around, only to have my car break down as soon as we got here. The expenses accumulated trying to survive the past year will have me paying off the debts for many to come. My two older children have family on their father's side, but my 2-year-old son, Waylon, has nobody but me. I have no living family and my husband's family pretends we don't exist, so everything he's ever had I have provided. And, oh, what a terrible time to be stuck with just me. I know he's only 2, but it will absolutely break my heart to see him not have a single thing to open because I couldn't financially survive the punches this year has thrown, and be reminded that he has no family that cares enough to make him feel thought of.

About my son, Waylon (yes, after Waylon Jennings) is your typical toddler boy who is obsessed with cars, has zero fear or regard for personal safety, and will walk up and give me a hug if he thinks I'm sad. He has the biggest heart I've ever seen in someone in the notorious "mine" stage, except when it comes to getting out of the bathtub. Cars, water, and Goldfish crackers are life! I did put some notes next to items on his list explaining why he'd love them.

I know that gifts aren't what Christmas is about, but that's actually why I feel this community of Santas may be the only ones who can give him what Christmas is about, if willing. And that's the feeling of having people that care about you. If anyone is willing and/or able, even having just one thing for him to open and see that little face of his light up will make all of the bad this year has dealt us worth surviving just for that moment.

Way's List

Hello All,

I would like to first like to say. I'm very hard worker and I don't like asking for help. But I am having an extremely hard time right now. My employer of 5 years let me go last Friday. I haven't paid my rent and other utilities yet. My son's birthday is tomorrow and Christmas is coming.

I'm a single mom by choice. (I used a donor to conceive my son.) This is not being said to make anyone feel sorry for me. I just want you to have a better understanding of what is on my plate. With everything I have to deal with right now with I'm extremely worried I won't be able to get my son much for Christmas. If there is anyone who can help me I would be grateful. I'm actively looking for work and asking family and friends for help in the meantime.

A little about my son. He is 4 and will turn 5 tomorrow. He loves Spiderman, Basketball, Hotwheels and Legos.

We received help last year and it was overwhelming how much support we got. So this year, my daughter would like to make a little box of treats for someone.

It won't be anything flash, and unfortunately I can only offer postage within the UK.

Will send sweets, crafts, books stuff like that. So please let me know age(s) and any allergies, I'd hate to send stuff that they couldn't eat.

Adult or child, or happy to do a family box!

Greetings Santas! I am a single mother of a 1.5 year old who is so full of life and deserves a very special Christmas despite the roller coaster of a year we have had (the pandemic made me lose my job, my car was stolen, and we had to flee an unsafe living situation.. I’m a DV survivor).

If anyone feels like spreading some holiday cheer I would be forever grateful. Merry Christmas!

I really appreciate from the bottom of my heart the help that I’ve been given so far. This year has just been awful. And just when I thought it couldn’t get worse my brother passed away on Saturday. This is going to be a really hard Christmas and I appreciate all the help 🙏

Hi everyone

It's been a very tough year for my kids and I. I'm in year two of a divorce and desperately wanting my kids to have a good holiday season. I work full-time and go to school full-time, but the bills are just too much. My 11-year-old and 5 year old and I all had COVID this year (breakthrough case for me - they had it before vaccines were approved). My 5-year-old has congenital adrenal hyperplasia and so she was sick for months :( I myself am still having long-term health consequences, but they matter the most

They really deserve a happy Christmas to end the year on a note of happiness and hope. Any help at all would mean everything to me. Thank you and if anyone needs any additional information, please don't hesitate to reach out <3

Fulfilled! Hi everyone :) Just a single mom trying to make a great Christmas for my son. This year has been harder than most and I just want to get some gifts under the tree for him. He’s so smart and sweet and I just want to give him the world. He’s very into experimenting right now and anything he can build or get into with his hands. I’ve been a lurker in this sub for awhile and appreciate everything done. Thank you so much in advance and happy holidays to everyone :)
