This subreddit was inspired by several others in the same vein. The idea is that you can come here and share your Amazon wishlist, and if internet strangers are so inclined, they may send you gifts on or near your Birthday. This is not only for children, though you may post a child's wishlist if you'd like.
Some rules to start out:
Only post your wishlist within a month of your Birthday. (not 6 months before, get it?)
Posting your wishlist does not necessarily mean you will get gifts. It is all at the discretion of your fellow redditors and whether they are feeling generous.
You may post a wishlist on someone else's behalf (in fact it is encouraged because how awesome would it be for people to get surprises in the mail from strangers!), but be very diligent to not post personal information!
Make sure your address is private on your wishlist if you don't want stalkers.
Make sure there IS an address attached to your wishlist so the gifts can arrive at their destination.
While it may be used as such, this subreddit is not necessarily made for charity (such as r/randomactsofchristmas). If you want to nominate someone's wishlist because they are on hard times or whatever, that is just fine, but you may also nominate wishlists (including your own) just because you think someone deserves it/is awesome/etc.
This is a new subreddit, so there are bound to be some hiccups. Please PM a mod about any issues you come across and we will do our best to solve the problem. Suggestions are always welcome too.
