"As kids, we all had the number ONE item on our Christmas wishlists that made the holiday complete. And "back in the day," that might have been a dollhouse, action figures, or a bike, but it seems Gen Alpha has a whole other set of rules... 1. "My 13-year-old asked for batteries. Last year, he asked for an air fryer." 2. "My kid asked for A1 sauce before. We put it in the biggest box under the tree, and when he got it, he was so happy.""
"3. "One time, my kid only wanted a wheelchair for Christmas...and that's what he got!" "He was interested in being a doctor and wanted it so he could wheel his brother around." - mrs.gertsch 5. "When my daughter was 5, she was obsessed with presidents, and JFK was her favorite, so I got her a life-sized cutout of him, and she was over the moon." - postmoderndejavu 6. "My son asked for elf DNA so he could clone elves and not have to rely on Santa." "He was a weird kid." - charitybell305"
"8. "My son is asking for a bug-out bag with all the supplies, including a ham radio and a NOAA radio. He is 11." 9. "My kid asked for a person-sized ball so she can get inside and 'walk on water like Jesus.'" - eleanorr_gracee 11. "My 9-year-old wants a jar of olives to sit on a shelf in her room. Does she like olives? No. Will they get eaten? No." "It's for decor and to pay homage to her name (Olivia)." - hotdamnallama 12. "My son asked for money so he can save it for a car when he's a teenager. He's currently 6." 14. "My son is going to turn 5 next month. He asked for a wooden toilet seat." "I'm not sure he's getting it..." - rachelcullen672 15. "My daughter asked for a new backpack so she can go to high school...she's 3 and already done with preschool life." 17. "My 6-year-old son wants my husband to put me in a box so he can unwrap a big box with Mommy inside.""
Gen Alpha children request a mix of practical, quirky, and imaginative holiday gifts. Requests include everyday necessities like batteries and an air fryer alongside novelty items such as A1 sauce and a life-sized JFK cutout. Some children ask for imaginative or role-playing items like a wheelchair for medical play, elf DNA to clone elves, or a person-sized ball to 'walk on water.' Other wishes reflect preparedness or future planning, such as a bug-out bag or saving money for a car. Younger children sometimes request surprising, age-incongruent items like backpacks for high school or a wooden toilet seat.
