“huge wish lists” … Parents can actually LIMIT number of requests on any child’s account.

“inviting anyone to give”… Parents can DELETE any other contributor on the account & be notified of any request over a set dollar amount

The thought of my kids sending their grandparents an online list, instead of talking to them, calling them, letting their grandparents ASK them what they want...that just makes me shudder! Actually, the other site mentioned they can bill any other person, and that is a dangerous loophole. I am going to add a link to her page in a sec here...

As a mom of a 13 year old, trust me, it is sometimes difficult figuring out what to buy the kid, so him being able to pick out what he really wants on his own sounds nice. But I agree with the concept of the kid routinely shopping this way. Damnit, if I had to be dragged around the mall in the desperate hope my mom would buy me something, so too shall my offspring!
