Yes, yes, I know, let's get through Thanksgiving first, but hey!? I'm sure the majority of you are at LEAST thinking about you want!
Pretty much this post are some tips & ideas to make a good Christmas wish list. Hope you enjoy this, and if you are struggling with making YOUR wish list, hope this helps!
(words in green is the "main idea" of the step
words in red are important words to think about while making your wish list
all steps are numbered!)
1. Think about what you want! I know this seems pretty obvious, but if you stop and think, and write down what you are already dreaming about, it will help STATE THE OBVIOUS. Rather than starting by browsing through the Forever 21 catalog and looking at everything on americangirl.com. (Think about stuff you've wanted all year, for a long time, or maybe even that sweater you thought was cute while you were in Target with your mom running errands!)
2. Make your wishlist! I personally like typing my wishlist on e-mail, so I can send it to my mom. Here is an example of what it MIGHT look like (this is not my wishlist):
- *AMERICAN GIRL: Caroline's Holiday Gown http://store.americangirl.com/agshop/html/item/id/211376/uid/939
- *FOREVER 21 (KIDS): Big City Sweater http://www.forever21.com/Product/Product.aspx?BR=girls&Category=girls_main&ProductID=2000072068&VariantID=
- FOREVER 21 (KIDS): Sweet Floral Lace Dress http://www.forever21.com/Product/Product.aspx?BR=girls&Category=girls_dresses&ProductID=2000072704&VariantID=021
WHOAH!! Slow down! Each thing you notice has a purpose to be there.
-Bullet points
help organize your list of items; instead of just randomly listing things or using commas. They also help show you are moving on to a different item.-link to item
help your parents by taking them to a site where you can get/buy/order the item, and what the item looks like
-*'s (or other symbols)
labels the items you want the most
-CAPITOL LETTERS
shows the store where you can buy the item
-Be sure to state the name of the item!!!
OR if you so choose to write on paper, be sure to do everything like you would typing (^above^) on e-mail, but you don't need the link. (You can also try printing pictures of the items, because you don't have a link)
3. This is totally optional, but subtracting things of the list you don't want or need that much will help your parents a ton. If you have the stuff you don't want that much taken off the list, it will also show that you are not trying to be, well, greedy. I would do this before you hit send so you don't have to tell your mom "Oh, yeah. I don't really want that anymore!"

Also, things like candles and perfume are good things to ask for too. (If you like scented things, that is)
