Suggestion for Families: update your lists as often as you can, try to find items that are “prime” if possible, and include a few inexpensive items as well.

I’ve been reading a lot of wish lists, and noticed that half of them have items that are “out of stock and unsure when it’ll be available again.” I’d hate for people to miss out on presents because there’s nothing to actually buy on their lists.

Also, I feel like people would be more inclined to buy things when it’s through amazon prime- it gives the buyer free shipping and also ensures you get your present quickly. The one thing I tried to buy someone that wasn’t through Prime said it wouldn’t be delivered until January 15 even though it was in stock. With prime, you’d have it in a couple of days, and plenty of time to wrap/figure out what else you can get.

Lastly, I’ve seen a few lists without a single item under $30. Obviously it’d be amazing for your kid to get the bigger presents they really want, but if you’re finding you haven’t had anyone buying you anything, try to include a few cheaper items for people to choose from. Personally, I can’t spend $30 on one person, but I can spend $10 on a few different families (so that as many families as possible can get presents).

Just a couple suggestions to try to get people as many presents as possible! Hopefully rechecking your lists (and removing/adding new ones) and frequently updating will help! This sub is absolutely amazing, and I hope everyone is able to receive at least one gift! Merry Christmas!

Edit: also take a few extra minutes to search for the cheapest version of things. There are a lot of $20 things of wrapping paper, when there are even nicer sets available for $5-$10 (which again, people will be more inclined to buy). Same for the toys, clothes, etc. I think everyone here deserves the most expensive of everything lol but I just want to be realistic and actually get people things they want!
