It's May so it seems like the perfect time for a giveaway.

Our mod team wants to give away a $30 Amazon GIFt card to someone that participates in the comments down below by 05/23.

Entry Requirements (Deadline 05/23):

1. Post your best GIF as its own comment! NO TEXT, just a GIF!
2. Go through and respond to others’ comments as you like, using only GIFS (no text) that relate to the gif before. You may also react with a gif to any gif responses in threads.
3. Standard conduct rules apply. No political, divisive, or otherwise hateful comments that could be offensive.

DEADLINE FOR ENTRY IS 05/23/26.

No proof will be required to enter, just a GIF/s. All other rules will be in place. Please make sure you read through the rules prior to commenting. Every commenter will be reviewed to ensure they meet our sub's minimums.

If this sees a lot of interest we will do these more often.

How to Create an Amazon Wishlist

Amazon Wishlists are a way to receive direct aid with items you find yourself in need of. Requestors can add essential non-perishables and household items to their lists. Donors can purchase directly from your list, and Amazon ships the items straight to you in a way that is safe, simple, and secure.

Step 1: Create or Sign Into Your Amazon Account

You’ll need an Amazon account before you can make a wishlist. If you already have one, log into your account.

• Go to Amazon.com or download the Amazon app.
• Select Create an account (desktop: under “Accounts & Lists” in the top right; mobile: tap the profile icon on the top right).
• Enter your name, email address, and a password. Amazon will send a one time password (OTP)  to your email. Enter the 6 digit password and click confirm. Once an account is created, go to >Your Account  > Login & Security to add a mobile number. This is highly suggested for stronger account security.
• After your account is set up, add a shipping address under Accounts & Lists > Your Account > Your Addresses. You’ll need this later so wishlist items can be delivered.

People buying from your wishlist will only see your name, city, and state, not your full street address. Wishlist items cannot be delivered to an Amazon locker. 

Step 2: Create Your Wishlist

• On desktop: Hover over Accounts & Lists (top right) and click Create a List.
• On mobile/app: Click on the profile icon → Your Account → List.
• This MUST be a wishlist ONLY. Registries are NOT allowed and will be removed due to privacy concerns.

Step 3: Name Your List

Give your wishlist a clear name and click "create". It’s best to create one just for your current needs instead of mixing in things you don’t need right now. If you’re asking for items under a certain price limit, make sure the list matches that. Ex: Baby Essentials, Household Needs, Back to School.

Step 4: Adjust Your Settings

• Open your list, click the More (three dots) menu, then select Manage List.
• Set privacy to Public (anyone can find) or Shared (only people with the link can see).
• Add an address so items can be shipped. 
• Check this box:
  • Keep purchased items on this list (This option stops items from being automatically removed after someone buys them).
• Do not Check this box:
  • Enable third-party shipping (This allows marketplace sellers to ship items to you. Note that enabling this setting may share your address with the buyer).
• Save your changes.

Step 5: Add Items

When you find something you need, click Add to List on the item’s page.

Keep in mind:

• Choose Prime-eligible items when possible for quicker delivery.
• Essentials ONLY. If you are unsure if something would be considered essential please reference modmail.
• Individual Item cap is $30! (Items in the $5 - $10 range are most purchased)
• Keep the total under $150 (you can check by adding items to your cart and looking at the subtotal). The $150 cap includes multiples.
• No Gift Cards or Digital Goods
• Do not add additional items to your list once you make a post on the sub.

 

Step 6: Share Your Wishlist

Once your list is ready:

• Open it, hit Invite, and select View Only (Anyone with a link can view your list without making edits)
• Copy the link provided and paste it on the Link URL box of a new post. Please use the correct post flair.

Step 7: Track What’s Been Purchased

Once people start buying from your wishlist, you’ll be able to see what has already been sent.

• If you checked “Keep purchased items on this list” in your settings, purchased items will stay on your list but show as “Purchased” so you don’t request duplicates.
• You can also check under Accounts & Lists > Your Lists and open your wishlist to see which items are marked as bought.
• We require donors to post proof that they've purchased items from your list. If you see items purchased but did not see a comment you are most likely not going to receive those items. Please reach out via modmail if this occurs.

After You Receive Your Items

• Gratitude goes a long way! Make sure you thank donors who send you items from your wishlist.
• When your items are delivered, please post a Thank You post confirming that you got your items.
• Please note that if Thank You posts are not submitted within 30 days of the delivery you will not be permitted to post again.

Additional Notes

• Many people donating are not rich themselves. When adding items please be mindful of price. Our item cap is $30 but the most successful wishlists frequently have items that are $5 - $10 that people on varying incomes can help you out with.
• Our wishlist total cap is $150. In order to get your request live as soon as possible, please double check your wishlist total before submitting.
• We do check entire wishlists so please note that your entire post will be removed if any items such as non essentials or gift cards are on your list. Please make sure these are not on your list before submitting.
