Christmas wish list template
A good wish list tells the giver exactly what lands: three concrete ideas, the right sizes and the one thing to skip. Print this template, fill it in, or copy it into a message.
Upload a photo + a few interests for each person → we draw names and hand every Santa gift picks they're more likely to love.

Wish list template for kids
Swap sizes for age and favorite characters, and add a line for "something to make or build". Kids love drawing next to each wish, so leave space.

Keep every idea inside the group budget and add one cheap option. Your Santa sees it on the private reveal page when you use the online Secret Santa wishlist.
How to write a wish list people actually use
- Name the exact item, not a category.
- Give a range of prices so every giver has an option.
- Add sizes once, so nobody has to ask.
- Update it in early December.
