This is where we post our wishes - maybe things we collect, something we can no longer find in our area, things we have always wanted etc, etc. No wish is too big (though common sense is appreciated!); you never know what will turn up.

We must all abide by these PBS rules :
You may not wish for money, or monetary donations for any charities.  You may ask for things you collect for charities, such as stamps,  pop can tabs, etc., but not for money. This includes 'gofundme' and other fund-raising events.
No buying or selling or advertising.
No wishing for credits.  Credits are bought, sold and loaned only in the Book Bazaar forum, or use the PBS Kiosk to purchase.
Do NOT ask for books, since books are swapped on the site and book deals are made in the Book Bazaar. Sorry, but you may not ask for free books of any kind. (Unpostable books are given away in the damaged book thread of the Bazaar and sometimes in the RAOK thread.)

Our own RAOK rules:
Please do not offer payment for the things you are sent, including postage. RAOKs are given freely, asking nothing in return except a thank you. You could pay it forward by granting a wish yourself.
Please limit your wishes to no more than 10. Lists could get very long. You can always edit as you go along.
Unlike many other forums, we ask that you do NOT reply within the threads. We do everything by PMs between members. This keeps the threads clutter free and easy to use. When you come to this I Wish thread, you see wishes. In the RAOK thread, it's all about things we are giving away - simple and easy. And please do not post your address in the thread - it's all done via PM.
Please check in and answer your PMs. It's frustrating when people want to grant your wishes and don't hear from you!
PLEASE say THANK YOU to the person who grants your wish.  You may use our monthly Thank You thread, or you may acknowledge what you have received via a personal PM to the member(s) who granted your wishes. This is very important if you wish to continue to receive things from others.

Tips :
Check the RAOK thread before you post wishes -- the thing you want may already be there for the asking!

If you see a wish you can grant, just PM the poster for their address.

And please remember, if one of the moderators contacts you about a posting, then we are only trying to keep the forum running smoothly and according to PBS rules. If you are asked to change, move, or delete your post, please do so. Most of you know the PBS team does get involved to edit posts and accounts do get suspended if rules are broken. We hate to see that happen to our fellow RAOKers!

If you have questions, feel free to contact me.

4. For my daughter  (gender neutral items are fine.. everything doesn't have to be pink )  Size 4T/4/5/6 winter hats (desperately needed since I've been unable to find anything to fit all of her hair- thanks to Mary who sent me a hat that finally fits good but she can always use a 2nd one), toddler size winter scarfs (desperately needed because she lost her blue one so she's down to only one), socks 4T/5T/shoe size 9, 4T/5T jeans, long sleeve dresses, tights, leggings, cute T-shirts, white or pink cardigan sweater, bathrobe preferably with a hood (but I will gladly accept one without one), size 9 slippers and dress shoes . I'd love some onesies in a size 4T/5T if anyone has them. (I know this is a long shot but she needs them for PT). (Thanks to the person that sent me a 4 pack of new onesies... I'm not recalling the name right now) I'm more than happy to accept anything your girls or in some cases boys have outgrown.  I was out of work for over 2 years due to an illness so its been financially difficult to keep up with her growing.

5. Wooden or plastic puzzles of at least 6 pieces (thanks Michelle who sent me a puzzle set but she can always use more), toy cars (the larger ones made for 2-5 year olds not matchboxes) , and small dolls or other quiet toys or mini board books that I can keep in the diaper bag for medical or Early Intervention appointments or church.

6.  K-cups (either tea, hot chocolate or coffee anything except for apple flavor and green tea)

7. Ladies black slacks, sweaters or long sleeve button down shirts in size 22/2X (I'm just going back to work and I work in a business casual environment). Also tights. spandex pants or leggings in size 22/2X.  They're to go under my pants since its been so cold around here so stains or small holes don't matter because they won't be seen

8. samples of bath and body works products

9. Vicks Vapo pad refills & Vicks liquid refill- my daughter uses the pads with her humidifier whenever she gets sick and I use the liquid with my vaporizer whenever I get sick. 

10.Drink mix singles (anything except for green tea)

11. magnetic notepads

12. Return address labels (I need more for my "new" address even though we've been here for over a year) 

13. ATC backings

Wishies:

As always, list paper, notepads, post-its etc. I've had a TBI and I need to make lists daily to accomplish all the things I need to in a day. My PBS friends are always SO good about helping me out with this :D 

Erasers! I'm artsy...so I mess up while I am drawing. A lot.  All erasers welcome. *Sings to the tune of "I've Got Lovely Bunch of Coconuts"- Little ones, pink ones, ones you found on the floor! 

And I love anything horsie and puggie. 

My *out there* wish for this month: A tacky, ugly or obnoxious wallet or coin pouch. Neon rainbow zebra striped, patchwork, tye dye? That's my jam! ;) 

Oooooo! A rubber duck.

After going through some coloring books trying to find some for my mom, I remembered how much I used to like to color. If you have any coloring books from the 70's or 80's, I would be glad to take them off your hands. Especially Smurfs and Muppets. I also like Care Bears, Shirt Tales, Garfield, and Strawberry Shortcake.

Hi there!  I love magazines, and would love to get subscriptions to a few.  If you have a buy one get one for a friend magazine renewal, or coke points. IHG points or other credits that you could use, I would love that.  Please don't spend any money on these subscriptions, I only want them if they are free for you.  I would really like Real Simple, Readers Digest, Family Circle, Fine Gardening, HGTV, House Beautiful, and probably any home decorating or cooking magazines. I will post this wish list for the next few months, as renewals will be available as your subscriptions expire. Many thanks!  Amy

I already take Southern Living, Country Living and Better Homes and Gardens

GinaB, (bunnyfoofoo) got me subscriptions for Runners World, Redbook, and Allure

ClaireN (booknoll) got me subscriptions to Good Housekeeping and Women's Day
