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 spam posts.
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.  There is also a Damaged/Unpostable Virtual Box in the Games forum.)

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 that 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.

Happy May! smiley

My wishes this month are:

heart Coke codes (always needed and useful!)

heart Any vintage (1940s - 1960s) clothes/accessories or clothes/accessories that look like they are from those decades (perfectly fine if they need some extra love and repair!)

heart Coupons for Garnier hair dye and L'Oreal shampoo 

heart This one is a longshot wish, but recently my little girl and I have got into the old tv show "Dinosaurs" (from the early 90s) and I would love anything related to it. I know they made a lot of toys and action figures and maybe someone might have one or more hanging around that they no longer have use for.

Thanks for reading!

Happy May Everyone!!

This month I'd be very grateful for:

- Any old movies or classic sitcoms on dvd

- Anything Tiki or Hawaiian for my little Tiki reading room (even the smallest item will find a special place in the tiki room!).

- Any earrings or charms made of Abalone shell or Paua shell (looks like abalone)... love those colors!!

Thank you to everyone who participates in the RAOK forum!

Need best wishes and prayers for my middle daughter, Kristen (the comedienne in Chicago). She is moving to Boston in July to follow her boyfriend who is currently in San Antonio (they have been doing long-distance for 2 years now).  She is job hunting and it is very stressful.....to the point her weight has dropped below 120.

Thank you in advance for anything that you send because I can always use some happy mail

  1. Address Labels (I'm not picky about the design as long as its not nasty or demonic).... these are desperately needed since I just moved again
  2. Reusable shopping bags
  3. Tea (mostly fruity tea or Chai. I'm not too fond of apple or banana or licorice flavors or green tea.)Bright or funny post-it notes or note pads
  4. Funny magnets and Magnets from Different states/countries
  5. K-Cups -flavored coffees (nothing BOLD) or tea or hot chocolate (Again no green tea, licorice, banana or apple flavors)
  6. Stickers especially 3D ones
  7. Coke Rewards and Pamper Points
  8. B&BW Hand Gels and B&BW samples and travel sized products
  9. Pocket Letters and items to make them and Atcs and thing to make them like 2x3 paper, tiny alphas and tiny stamps
  10. Those fat advertising pens. You know the thick ones. The free ones that you get from different companies. They're easier for my hand to hold with the nerve damage than regular pens

My daughter Gabriella is 3 and she likes:

  1. Anything with Nick Jr and Disney Jr characters
  2. Crayola Color Wonder (But please no markers that are not color wonder or washable)
  3. Play Dough (she could always use new dough since it always winds up getting lost and dried up)
  4. Coloring pages and coloring books (she doesn't really need crayons)
  5. Baby Doll and Barbie Doll Clothes
  6. Toy Cars and trains
  7. Anything to do with dress-up except for shoes, fake nails and make-up
  8. Anything to teach ABCs or Numbers such as workbooks or DVDs just please no more flashcards.
  9. Anything involving potty training including pull-ups if you have any that you don't need anymore size 5T or overnight pull-ups to fit a 40lb child
  10. She wears uniform for school and uniforms can be really expensive and get stained way too easily. So if you have size 6 yellow tops and navy blue bottoms and cardigans that you can pass on they would be very appreciated. Also hair accessories especially in yellow and/or blue
