This is where we post things we would like,(except money request or books by name). Please remember that we do not offer money for items we wish for because that is against PBS rules .  You may not ask for money for charity, for postage, nothing monetary, please.  It  also lessens the spirit of this thread and the forum. If you receive, try to give. Sometimes the littlest things can bring a smile.

Note: If I write to you about something you have requested, it is only to inform you that the request is not what this thread is about. If you wish to leave your request in this thread, that is up to you, but it will be edited by the PBS team........... We like to take care of this forum ourselves, without the team removing posts!!

First: Remember: this is the place to wish. We all have wishes. If you feel someone has asked for something too large, expensive or extravagant, just ignore. Please be kind. Don't make someone feel badly. None of us know someone else's circumstances, unless we ask...........................For those of us asking, let's remember this is NOT a place to stock pantries, get all our presents for others, etc. It's a place for members to wish for items for themselves and immediate family. Also, PBS rules do not allow one to ask for money, even for charities, here. You may ask for other items, such as stamps and boxtops, etc.

Here, you list a few things you like/collect/can use. Obviously, we all like certain things like credits*, wish-list books, etc. This is NOT for that kind of thing. This is for things others might have around the house that you can use (for instance if you collect postcards, bookmarks, Coke codes, or if there's a candy you love you can't find in your area, etc). ** Please remember that books, by title or genre, should not be requested in this forum(I Wish thread). There may be other places for that. If someone sends you an item, please receive it and thank the member sending it.  (*You may only ask to borrow credits in the Book Bazaar forum. If you do it here, you will be asked to remove your post.  The PBS team may also suspend your account!)

Please limit your list to about 10 items. Some lists are getting very long. (Remember, you can edit your list), and if someone PMs you for your address, please acknowledge and thank them when you receive whatever they send you. There is a separate thank you thread so we can keep this one clean and easy to read. It can get jumbled and hard to read with extra clutter so if we can do our best to keep it to our requests and the rare bump, that would be awesome :) It's important to thank everyone who send something either by PM and or the thank you thread so that we know the item arrived. Members do not want to send things, continously, to others who do not let them know the items have arrived.

I'm wishing for:

• Coke codes
• coupons for :  glucose meters/test strips/lancets (One Touch, Breeze 2, Contour, Freestyle, etc.)  - I purchase them using the coupons and donate them to our local health clinic.
• coupons for:  Stonyfield Oikos Greek yogurt, Atkins shakes, V-8, Snapple
• Alterna Caviar Anti-Aging Replenishing Moisture Shampoo & Conditioner travel sizes or samples - I can't find them anywhere around here.         

Here are my wishes- as always!:

• Box Tops for Education for my son's school

• Campbell's Labels For Education

• Allegra (Allergy medicine) Coupons (Children's and/or Adult)  

• Nutro Ultra dog food coupons

• Pet Supermarket coupons

If anyone has an old set of Pokemon cards their child no longer wants, my son would love them.

Thanks for looking!   :)

Hi everyone,

I would like to see if there are any kind hearts out there that could help out with this for my kids.  We recently made a big move from Alaska to Denver and have had nothing but problems thoughout the way.  Our car has broken down on us several times leaving us stranded and pretty much broke after fixing it numerous times. We were homeless for a good 4 months, then we thought things were starting to look up for us then my husband gets laid off from a job he made every effort to keep.  They laid him off the day before Thanksgiving. We were so happy to finally be in our own home then that happened and we have all these bills that we can't pay now.  Long story short... we have no money to even get gas right now and with Christams approaching we can't even buy a tree :-(  This will be the 1st year my kids won't have a tree for the holiday. 

Wirh all that being said I want to see if I can get as many Christmas cards as I can for my kids this year.  Just some friendly words of inspiration for my kids this year.  With no money to buy them gifts I would like them to be showered in Christmas cards from all over.  I appreciate anyone who can help and it really means the world to me for my kids have some sort of holiday cheer :-)  They are my pride and joy and I want nothing more than for them to be happy this christmas season.   May god bless you all and have a great holiday season.  My kids are 5,6, and 9 so they will love any card that is sent to them :) Any theme, any style. Thanks!

Anyone sending a card can mail to...

Lorenzo, Victoria, and Aundre Elliott                                                          

890 Macaw St. Brighton, Co  80601

Thanks to all who have taken the time out of their busy days to read my story. 

My 7-yr-old has become infatuated with the Full House series and Mary-Kate and Ashley detective series.  If anyone has anything related to these, especially books (but not the teen-age stuff, please!), she would love them!   Thanks!  

Deirdre

I am hoping for perfume or cologne samples of any fragrance.  Used is OK too, for example, if you have partial bottle of a scent you don't want any more.  Any kind would be welcome.

Little bars of soap (1-2oz.) like they have in hotel rooms or samples. 

Since it's Christmas & the folks on PBS are so awesome:

NEW flannel receiving blankets, 30x30 inches--these must be new, in the package, not home-made, or even gently used, due to customs regulations

These items are for birthing kits to be sent to women in developing countries.  The birthing attendant uses the soap to wash her hands to prevent the transmission of germs.  Each kit contains 2 blankets, one to clean the baby, the other to swaddle the baby.  We include everything else: plastic sheeting to protect mom & baby from the dirt, a razor blade & string for tying/cutting the cord, and gloves for the attendant.  The soap and blankets have been a challenge to collect.  I've gotten some lovely soap donations through this feed, thanks again to everyone who has helped!  The blankets can be found very inexpensively at discounters, but we seem to have bought out our local Ross Dress for Less & we're hoping to pack 200 kits by Christmas.  If you can help with a gift, that's great, and either way, please add this project to your prayers.  Thanks!

I wish I could get:

Coupons for Dog food, makeup, and clothes

Bath and Body Works samples

Ideas for my husbands Christmas present!! 

Cpns for:    Fancy Feast .....dry food only
                  Lactaid milk or pills
                  All liquid
                  Snuggle liquid

Address labels with Whitegardenia on it

Small white labels (to put on product)

Any broken jewelry

Different size rhinestones (not the type to glue or sew on stuff)

Plastic mermaid tail for Barbie......really. really

Any single Barbie, Ken, GI Joe or Bratz shoes........any!

My final wish:  for everyone to contact a member friend and ask them to come back to the RAOK forum.   Our numbers are really low and we are not getting the the RAOKs we used to get.  Times are hard for almost everyone, now especially, so we need to give what we can or grant a wish.  The season is all about giving!

Hugs and Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all!
