Tips & Advice

  • To ensure your gift is suitable, check the wish list carefully for specific items and avoid overly large or fragile presents that might be difficult to transport or store.
  • Consider purchasing a gift card if you're unsure about a specific item, allowing the child to choose something they truly desire within the specified budget.
  • Wrap the gift securely and clearly label it with the child's wish number or description to help organizers match it correctly.
  • Plan your drop-off visit during the opening hours of the Tourist Information or City Library to avoid missing the deadline.
  • If you're participating as a group, coordinate your gift purchases to ensure a variety of wishes are fulfilled.
