Give Over

MyWishWand Online Gift Service Launches

Your sprogs probably want more than their two front teeth this holiday, but keeping track of what exactly can be taxing.

That’s why you need MyWishWand, a new online gift registry with everything little hearts could desire, from microscopes to makeover kits. Founder Cass Payne launched the site in a bid to ease pavement-trawling pressure for godparents and relatives.

Much like a wedding list, an account lets children select products they hope to receive and send out word to friends and family who can then log in and grant a wish — whilst also snapping up gifts for themselves.

It’s all heaven spent.
