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 PBS frowns upon that. 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.

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.

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.

  • Alcohol wipes, lancets, and Wavesense Presto Strips.  Items need to be new and not expired.

  • Children's DVD's:  I would love to get some Bible stories, Curious George, Baby Einstein, Berenstein Bears, Thomas the Tank Engine, Feature Films for Families, Sesame Street, Elmo's World, etc.

  • Anything related to Elmo, Cookie Monster, Sesame Street characters, Curious George, Thomas the Tank Engine, and anything related to "I Spy."  My son loves all of them.

  • Anything to do with sign language - especially for babies/toddlers including flashcards, books, dvd's, etc.

  • Anything preschoolish (educational).  My son has "school" with me several days a week and we always are looking for new things to try.  :-)

  • Gluten free recipes, cookbooks, & coupons

  • DVD's, books, &/or info on RV'ing

  • Magnetic bookmarks

  • Educational Flashcards or small flipcharts:  early math (counting), english (phonics, etc.), colors, shapes, Bible, etc.  I work with children at church, and we are looking to be missionaries in the near future so I would love to get any ABeka flashcard (flash-a-card) stories - Bible stories especially, but also missions & practical/character stories to use in our ministry.

Thanks to those who have granted wishes in the past.  There have been so many kind people on here and so many generous.  Thanks to you all.  You know who you are!!  :-D

Here is my wish - well, it's really my son's wish. My teenage son plays drums in a worship group that plays contemporary Christian music. He told me he would like some decals to decorate his drum set - presently all its says on it is "Zildjian." He is wishing for Christian symbols or stickers promoting today's Christian bands. I don't know where to even look for such a thing, so am throwing it out to you good people. If you have stickers or suggestions where I can get some, please let me know - thanks!

Good Morning!  I've never asked for anything before, so this is a little new for me.  What I would really like are some book marks.  I am in charge of the small library for seniors where I live. And I've noticed so many books come back with bent upper pages .. you know what I mean.  So I've decided if I can give away a bookmark with each book, then there's a better chance that the pages won't be bent, the books won't be laid down to open pages, etc.  I would appreciate any that come my way.

Have a great day!
