The family I married into always make 'wish lists' for birthdays and Christmases, which get circulated around the family, rather like a wedding list would.
Lists are always far longer than the actual number of presents you expect to get, so that there's some element of surprise, but you get what you actually want. Are there many other families out there who do this type of thing?
Reason I ask, apart from curiosity, is that one of my business clients asked us to do a 'not for profit' wish list site aimed at kids, and we weren't sure how much of a demand there was for such a thing. Would you use an online wishlist, or let your child loose on one?
