Christmas Wish List Maker
Add an idea, keep the details that matter and copy your list when you are ready to send it. Your Christmas wish list is saved in this browser. You can use it without signing in, and the list is not uploaded to Deco My Tree.
Your list is empty. Add your first idea above.
How to make a Christmas wish list
Start with the first thing that comes to mind and press Add idea. Each entry appears as a separate item. You can add another idea straight away, or remove an item when you change your mind. Blank entries are left out. Spaces at the beginning and end of an idea are removed so the list stays readable when you copy it.
Write the useful details in the same entry as the gift. For example, a book title with its author is easier to recognize than just 'a book'. If you want a particular edition, color or size, include that too. The input is plain text: it does not look up products, check stock or add shopping information for you.
Choose ideas someone can act on
Look at things you already use. Is a notebook almost full? Is there a hobby you want to spend more time on? Start there if a blank list feels difficult. You might ask for an art supply you need, a book you have been meaning to read or an ingredient for something you would like to learn to cook.
You can ask for an outing or help with a project. Time together belongs on the list too, if that is what you would like. If an alternative would be welcome, say so in the entry. If a detail really matters, explain it briefly. That helps someone choose a gift without turning the list into a set of purchasing instructions.
Build a wish list with a child
Ask a child what they would like to play with or learn, then write the idea in words they recognize. You can sit together and read the list aloud afterward. Let them remove an idea if it no longer interests them. The list does not need to be finished in one sitting; you can return to the same browser when another idea comes up.
Before sending it, talk about what being on a wish list means for your family. It can be a way to share interests rather than a promise that every item will become a present. An adult can help make the wording clear and choose which details to send to relatives. Read the copied text together before sending it.
Copy the list into your own message
The Copy wish list button copies a heading and your entries as a plain text list. Paste it into a message, an email or your own notes. You can add a greeting there and send only the part you want someone to see. The recipient receives the text you send, rather than a link to a live list.
On browsers that support the device share menu, Share text opens that menu with the same list. Choose a destination there to continue. If you change an entry later, copy or share the new text again. A message you already sent keeps its original wording, so let the recipient know when you have replaced it.
Where your Christmas wish list is saved
The list is kept in local browser storage for this site. Refreshing the page or closing and reopening the same browser normally brings it back. It stays separate from the fixed checklist on the Christmas countdown page. There is no annual reset for this wish list, so you can keep your ideas and remove them yourself when you are done.
Another browser or device will have its own list. Clearing this site's browser data removes the saved entries, and private browsing may discard them when the session ends. If the browser blocks storage or has no space left, you can still edit the list during the visit, but saving may fail. Copy anything you want to keep into your own notes before leaving.
Christmas wish list maker questions
Do I need to sign in to make a Christmas wish list?
No. You can add and remove ideas directly on this page without signing in. The list is stored in this browser and is not uploaded to Deco My Tree. Making a list does not create a profile or send the entries to anyone; you choose when to copy or share the text.
Will my wish list still be here after refreshing?
It should be here in the same browser on the same site when local storage is available. Private browsing, blocked storage or clearing site data can remove it or prevent saving. You can keep your own copy by pasting the list into notes. A different device starts with its own browser storage.
Can someone else see my list when I share it?
Copy and Share text send a plain text version containing your current entries. The person you send it to sees that text in the message or destination you chose. They do not get access to your browser's saved list, and later changes here do not update a message you already sent.
Can I use the list to collect Christmas wishes from friends?
This page is for writing your own list of ideas. To invite friends to leave messages, create a separate Christmas tree and send them its link. The local wish list does not transfer into a tree. You can keep gift planning here and use the tree for greetings from the people you invite.
A place for wishes from your friends
Once your own ideas are written down, create a Christmas tree for messages from friends. Share the tree's link so they can hang wishes on it. The tree is a separate part of Deco My Tree; your browser's gift list stays here and is not added to those messages.
