Christmas wish list maker
This is a free Christmas wish list maker built for children, not for shopping. You type your wishes on a sheet of paper on screen, sign your name, fold the letter and seal it with wax — and then an elf runs it through the snow to Santa's office at the North Pole.
There is nothing to install, no account to create and no email required to write the list. It takes about three minutes on a phone, and a grown-up can email a copy home afterwards if the family wants to keep it.
How to make a Christmas wish list online
Making the list online has one clear advantage over paper: nothing gets lost between the kitchen table and Christmas Eve. The list is saved in the browser on the device it was written on, and it can be shared with a parent through a link.
- Open the letter and start writing — the paper, the ink and the desk are already there.
- Add between three and seven wishes. Fewer wishes, written properly, read better than twenty items.
- Write your first name at the bottom so Santa knows whose list it is.
- Seal the letter with the wax stamp and hand it to the elf.
- Follow the journey north and watch Santa read the list out loud.
What makes a good Christmas list
A list that only names products is hard to read and easy to forget. A list that says why a wish matters tells Santa something about the year the child has had — what they practised, what they got curious about, who they were kind to.
A useful shape for each line is: the wish, then one short sentence about why. "A telescope, because I want to find Saturn from the balcony" is a far better line than "telescope".
How many wishes to write
Three to seven is the sweet spot. Younger children often land on three; nine- to twelve-year-olds usually want five or six, including one bigger wish and a couple of small ones.
Add one wish for someone else
Many children add a wish for a sibling, a grandparent or a pet. It costs nothing, and it is usually the line the family remembers years later.
Free, private and made for phones
The wish list maker is free with no upsell, no shopping links and no ads pointed at children. The list is stored locally in the browser, not tied to an account, and the site works the same on an old phone as on a laptop.
If a grown-up wants the list in writing, they can enter their own email address at the end and get a copy of the letter. That step is optional and the address is only used to send that one message.
