I can't remember if I posted this before, but I also asked Gnusmas if he had a Xmas Amazon list for the kids, in case anyone felt like doing something.

https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/registry/wishlist/28412N71WFHPP

nbt and I don't have children and wanted to give something to children who deserve gifts. It did make me chuckle when the 3 year old opened the present in a few seconds, he's going to go far.

I know there are so many of gnusmas's STW family would have done the same.

In a world full of cynicism and self importance, I like this a lot. 👍🏻

Such nice, sweet people. I don't deserve to share the same forum space. 🙁
😉

I might be able to sort the electric circuit test thing so don’t anyone buy that yet.

👍🏼

STW is home to some great people. It's a wonderful community.

Happy Christmas everyone.

Is the Amazon list set up with Gnusmas address?

Awesome 😎

Is the Amazon list set up with Gnusmas address?

I don’t think so, at least not through the App.

Stop it now, crying at work is not professional!!

Don't know how to do emojis from a PC but if I could it would be some clapping hands.....

👍

Need the address for gifts added somewhere.....

So I can see the list, but it just adds it to my postage addresses....

Is there any way of seeing HIS list, so it can get posted to, er, him!!

DrP

Might be better to have a click and collect location rather than making a home address visible online?

You're most welcome mate

😀

I just looked into this thread and am completely overwhelmed with the response. Thankyou everyone. This list was initially done for family to show the sort of things they like, didn't think about addresses when i was asked originally for a list. I have checked the list and a lot of stuff has risen a lot in price since I started doing it.

I have been told over and over again to accept help from people. I struggle with this constantly. Saying that, this is for the kids so that is different, I can appreciate and understand that. I will see if I can add an address, failing that, Ambrose, bunny hop, nbt, spawnofyorkshire and a few others already has it. I am sure they would be happy to pass it along, i have no problem with this. I am happy to give my address too.

Thankyou again everyone for everything.

Top Job 🙂

Yep, the electronic experiment test education thing is sorted.

Knock that off the list.

Anyone feel free to PM me and I'll provide the address.
Granted you'll have to answer three simple questions first...
1. What is the air speed velocity of an unlaiden swallow?.….

I've never done it but there is definitely a way to set up an Amazon gift list that goes to the intended recipients address without that address being visible to the buyer.

I have gone into the list and can't see any way of inputting addresses. Never done an amazon wish list before so I am probably being a numpty.

If anyone can shed some light on it then maybe I can then update it. And find alternatives that are actually a lot cheaper too. Still can't believe some of the price hikes. Like I said before, what i have put on there is an idea of the sort of thing they like.

From what I can see if you go into your lists and then on the right hand side next to "Send list to others" there's 3 dots, hover over the dots and select "Manage List" then you can associate a delivery address with the list (by default there's no address added).

Might be worth someone that's actually done it before confirming the above works (and that your address isn't exposed or whether you need to select some privacy options to).

Yep, that worked. Thanks 😊

Details now updated.

Yeah tested, just shows your town and county. A couple of things on the way (I didn't select gift wrap option as wasn't sure if you'd be able to tell what was what :p so might not want to open box with the kids present) 🙂

Btw there should be a delivery today for your little ones Gnusmas

Like FuzzyWuzzy, a couple of things on the way (also not giftwrapped).

And another couple of bits.

Question - if you purchase somethimg from the list does that item then get auto removed from the list? ie to avoid duplicates

Question – if you purchase somethimg from the list does that item then get auto removed from the list? ie to avoid duplicates

Yes

Spawn - a box turned up today, I'm not expecting anything so assume it's the one you were talking about. Thankyou very much.

Another couple on their way, not giftwarpped though.

So when things are ordered do they disappear off the list, not wanting to double up on things.....

Just checked and it seems like they do. I'm crying. Nearly the whole list has gone 😢 I wasn't expecting that kind of response. Thankyou so much to you all.

Another one on the way but Amazon says delivery early Jan ☹️

Oh shit, am I late to the party?

Please tell me that a VW T5 with a woodburner in the back isn't on the list...

YOu lot are flipping AMAZING.

S**** - Ambrose said a rude word (woodburner) on STW.

😂 Woodburner

No Ambrose, just the T5 will do......

You lot are flipping AMAZING.

Really, we aren't. IMHO this is a fairly basic level of human decency, to help a fellow human out when they need it. If more people were like it the world would be better.

Sadly, we have to measure this basic level against an average that shames us*.

* at the risk of going down a path that we probably don't want to - an equivalent situation / thread on Muslimtrackworld and no-one would even remark, what with charity being one of the five pillars and all that (I'm sure other faiths** have similar, I just happen to know about the five pillars specifically)

** not the Westboro Baptists. They're ******s

One thing my counsellor said to me this morning:

"We don't see through each other, we see each other through"

Which is exactly what happens here. Outside the arguing and bickering. Thankyou again to you all.
