MyWishWand is an innovative new online wishlist site that puts the fun back in to giving (and receiving) gifts. And now we've got Santa on board for Xmas 2009!

MyWishWand helps you create online gift wishlists for birthdays, Christmas, or any other special occasion. Friends and family can view your wishlists and buy the items though our network of affiliated merchants (which includes top online retailers like Boden, Hamleys and John Lewis). By doing so, they can be confident they are giving a gift that:

* will be loved and appreciated
* will save them hours scouring the High Street
* won't be something someone else has already bought your child
* won't join the 8.5 million toys sent to landfill every year

Children can also (with your permission) create and manage their own wishlists. Itís something they like doing and can work fantastically as a reward system, where they can choose an item from their list when they reach a goal.

Using MyWishWand is fast, fun and stress free. We also give 5% of our net profits to charity.

Easter presents

What is a traditional Easter gift? I remember in my day, you had to eat as many boiled eggs as you could and that was about it. However, many times of celebration are being monetized now and Easter has a lot of scope for fertility gifts, egg related gifts, rabbit paraphernalia, jesus costumes, necromancy books, and chocolate. Which is a constant, I feel.

Present Gifts

What is the best way to get a present for someone you know?

Say it's your daughter, who is an early teen. Do you have a clue?

Is it better to ask what they would like or what they feel they need in their life than to guess and risk wasting time, money and personal stress in buying an unwanted gift?

One solution is to let your children create their own "wishlist" where they can choose what they would like. Then they can let members of their friends and family see the list.

You can then "grant the wishes" on the list, thus avoiding duplicate presents for children and ensuring it was a wanted gift.

The commercial side of this is how the list is picked. The child or adult can search a selection of recommended retailers for the gifts they like in the virtual shopping mall.

You can also have gift ideas suggested using the gift suggestion tool - this is based on supplying information such as gender, age and personality traits for the person for whom you wish to buy a present.

Christmas presents and getting the right gifts

The best way to get gift ideas for your children, friends and family is to use the mywishwand "Gift Ideas" tool. Enter the age, gender and personality traits of the person you need ideas for presents for, then submit. Mywishwand checks a database of retailers to get the closest match of gifts.

Your children and other family members can register for free and create an online wishlist so that getting a christmas present or birthday gift for your nephew or granny becomes so much easier. You can grant a wish from someone's wishlist, which will remove that item and leave the rest of the desired presents for someone else to buy.

This idea found popularity in online wedding present lists and has now been extended by online retailers to include birthday presents, christmas gifts, gifts for anniversaries and special occasions.

What Mywishwand adds to this is being able to generate gift ideas for those friends and family members who always pose a gift selection challenge. If you still don't know what present to buy, just check their wishlist!

MyWishWand

Mywishwand takes the stress out of finding the best gifts for occasions. The organisation also promotes recycling of old toys by donating to hospitals, doctors surgeries and green recycling organisations.

Mywishwand also donates a percentage of any profits to charity and is keen to promote gift-sharing and recycling with schools.

The philosophy helps ensure the gifts or presents you buy are going to be loved and will save time from visiting many shops. It will stops you buying the same present for someone and helps stop the 8 million toys that get dumped annually.

Children enjoy creating their own wishlists and as a parent this could be used as a reward system where your child could choose a gift to be awarded if they do well.
