Step One:
Make an post. It can be public or friends only, whatever you’re most comfortable with. The post should contain your list of ten holiday wishes, and these wishes can be anything - from simple (a fan fiction written about your favorite pairing), to medium (a DVD you want), to really extravagant (a brand new laptop or car).
Just make sure these are wishes for things you really truly want.
Step Two:
Skim through your friends list and see who has posted their own wish lists. Then - and this is the most important part - if you find a wish you can grant, and it’s in your heart to do so, make sure that person’s wish comes true.
Sometimes a person’s trash is another person’s treasure. If you have a leather jacket you don’t want or a gift certificate you’re never going to use, give it to someone who wants it.
Step Three:
Post this wish list any time after November 1st. Then repost it two weeks before Christmas.
You needn't spend money on these wishes unless you want to. The point isn't to put people out, it's to provide everyone a chance to be someone else's holiday fairy - to spread the joy.
Gifts can be made anonymously or not, it's your call.
There are no rules with this project, no guarantees, and no strings attached. Just...wish, and it might come true. Give, and you might receive. And you'll have the joy of knowing you made someone's holiday special.

My list: (prefer upcycled/recycled/regifted if possible)
1) small, perhaps collapsible hair dryer (for drying intermediate stages of watercolor paintings)
2) Invitation for social outings or meals with you
3) Shopping trips with you (thrift/antique/secondhand shops a plus)
4) Storytelling swaps. (improv story creation)
5) Stuff-organizing swaps (you sit with me while I organize/clean out stuff and I'll return the favor)
6) Hand spun yarn in jewel tones and natural fibers.
7) Beginning Knitting lessons. Crochet lessons to ramp up my skills and tidy my techniques.
8) Stoneware bowls and mugs.
9) Breadbaking lessons.
10) Woodworking lessons (beginner).
11) Lessons in how to manipulate art and photos digitally.
12) Herb starts for savory, white woodruff, hyssop, and catnip, or Lily of the Valley bulbs.
