Creating Holiday Wish Lists for your Children

Children all across America have already begun looking forward to opening their gifts come holiday time. Maybe they’ve written "Dear Santa" letters, or circled a few favorite toys in a catalogue. While these methods are great for helping Mom and Dad, what about Grandparents, Aunts, Uncles and friends that want to celebrate the holidays with your children? By creating a universal online holiday wish list with MyRegistry.com, you can share what your children really want.

At MyRegistry.com the sky’s the limit when it comes to adding gifts! Whether it’s an ipod for your teenager or a stuffed animal for your baby, all items can be merged into one centralized list. MyRegistry.com allows you to add gifts from any store in the world, all with the simple and easy to use browser button. You can even request cash on your wish list, by setting up "cash gift funds" – it’s never too early to start saving for college, right?

Having one centralized wish list ensures there will be no duplicates, no returns, and mom and dad have final say over what gifts get placed on the wish list!
