Make a wishlist online

An online wishlist is simply your Christmas wishes written down somewhere you can find them again — on a phone, a tablet or a laptop, instead of a scrap of paper that disappears before December.

This page shows how to make one here in a few minutes, what happens to it afterwards, and how a grown-up can keep a copy without anyone creating an account.

How to make your wishlist online

You do not need to download anything or sign up. The whole thing happens in the browser you are reading this in.

  • Open the letter and write your wishes, one per line, in your own words.
  • Add your name so Santa knows whose list it is.
  • Seal the letter — it is folded and stamped with wax.
  • Watch an elf carry it through the snow to the North Pole.

Where your online wishlist is saved

Your list is stored in your own browser on the device you wrote it on. That means it is there when you come back, but it also means clearing your browser history can remove it.

If you want a backup, a parent or guardian can enter an email address on the last screen and receive a link that reopens the list later. No account is created and the list is not kept on our servers.

Writing a wishlist online with younger children

Small children usually say their wishes faster than they can type them. Let them talk while a grown-up types, and read the finished list back out loud — it almost always gets shorter and better.

Keep it short

Three to five wishes are plenty. A long list makes every single wish count for less.

Say why

One sentence about why a wish matters turns a shopping list into a letter worth reading.

Questions families ask

Is the online wishlist free?
Yes. Writing and sending a wishlist is completely free and no account or sign-up is needed.
Can I open my wishlist on another device?
Only with the backup link. The list lives in the browser you wrote it in, so ask a grown-up to send the backup link if you want to open it elsewhere.
Can I change my wishlist afterwards?
Yes. Open the list again in the same browser, or simply write a new letter — nothing is locked.
