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 unusual (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 to protect your privacy, 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.

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.  I got some a few months ago but I can always use more because of the amount of mail I send out
  2. Bright or funny post-it notes or note pads
  3. Coke Rewards and Pamper Points
  4. Pocket Letters and items to make them and Atcs and thing to make them like 2x3 paper, tiny alphas and tiny stamps
  5. 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. Cars Trucks and trains especially anything involving Thomas
  2. She can be really girly so she loves baby Dolls or Barbie dolls or clothes or accessories for the dolls or anything to do with dress-up except for shoes, fake nails and make-up.  She doesn't really have that much clothes for her dolls and her barbies so any would be appreciated
  3. Anything involving potty training including DVDs, dolls, games or pull-ups if you have any that you don't need anymore size 5T or overnight pull-ups to fit a 40lb child (This seems like a never ending battle)
  4. She wears uniform for school and uniforms can be really expensive and get stained way too easily. So if you have size 6X 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

Hubby:

His birthday is November 26th.  He could really use some extra smiles so if you want to send a card that'd be great.  His name is Craig Meyers and if you dont already have my address PM me and I'll send it to you.  Check out my profile for his diffent interests

I want to make a large collage for my front bedroom wall with nothing but fox images. If you have any artwork - old greeting cards, playing cards or notepaper you no longer want/need, I would love to have them. Thanks in advance for looking!

My wishes for November are:

1.  For people still recovering from flooding:

     a) prayers and positive thoughts

     b)  gloves and socks that can be donated to those who are still living in campers and tents even though cold weather has hit

2.  any plastic pirate coins (kids) that are laying around

3.  small rubber bounce balls

4.  Prayers for my new grandson, born today,  November 6th, one month early.  He is in NICU but doing well.  heart

 

Thank you for considering my wishes!

 

If you have children's books on your shelf, I am requesting large numbers of them right now to donate to flooded schools.  Just drop me a PM that you have children's  or young teen books and I will take a look to request from those who participate in the RAOK thread first.  Thanks!!!

My November Wishlist:

1.) small notebooks, crayons, activity pages, exc. to put in my children's Church bag.

2.) anything owls or Native American.

3.) one of those plaque thingies with coat hooks that hangs on a wall (if that makes sense). We don't have a coat closet so our coats just end up laying on the couch. Would like a thing with coat hooks to hang them on.

4.) anything Thomas the Train, Cars, Batman, Spider-Man, or Yoda for our almost 3 year old boy.

5.) anything Sophia the First, Little Einsteins, Jake and the Neverland Pirates, or Barbie for our 6 year old girl.

6.) scratch boards (art), small poster boards, or anything elephant related for our 17 year old girl.

7.) anything that might make good stocking stuffers for a 3 year old boy, 6 year old girl, and 17 year old girl. 

8.) this is not for me, but the people at Standing Rock are in desperate need of supplies (foods, bio freeze, goggles, exc.). If you would be willing and able to send supplies to the Natives and the other people there who are getting ready to head into sub zero temperatures while fighting for their land and water, please message me for an updated supply needs list and an address to ship to. They greatly appreciate any help they can get.

And long shot: if anyone happens to have a working iPhone 5 that was used on the Verizon network laying around not being used, my mom is having major issues with her phone locking up and shutting itself off for no reason, and is wanting to switch from android to iPhone (has had nothing but problems with android) but can't do it right now financially.

Here is an unusual request...I am hoping someone will have one of those brain-shaped jello molds just taking up space in their cupboard. You've used the mold a couple times, and now you're over it. And there it sits. I would LOVE to have it, as I REALLY want to make a brain-shaped jello!!

Thanks for reading!
