I\u2019m a history fan, and one thing I love is how important the mail order catalog was toward settling the West. Before, if you wanted a shovel and the local store didn\u2019t have one…well, you didn\u2019t get a shovel. You might wait months until the next shipment. In the meantime, you just had to make do with a flat rock or something. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the catalog, everything changed. You could order supplies and the burgeoning logistics network got it to you. It was the biggest advance in shovel technology since, well, I guess when shovels were invented. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As someone who likes to host gift exchanges, that story is pretty cool to me because how we get things keeps advancing. We used to just have to write things down and remember them. Now we can make lists online. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And not only that, we\u2019re no longer limited to one store. With the right Secret Santa generator, you can make a wish list for multiple websites<\/a>. That means you can find everything from nearly any store on the internet and put it all on one list for your Secret Santa. That way, all your attendees (and you!) can get the present you want, whether that\u2019s a shovel or literally anything else. Probably something else. But even if it\u2019s a shovel, making a wish list for all websites means you\u2019ll get the shovel you want…and soon. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Problem with Limited Wish Lists<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The old way of making wish lists for Secret Santa was scribbling down three or four things on the scrap of paper you wrote your name on. That left a little to be desired. For one thing, you had to try to remember what you wanted, and who could remember everything under all that pressure? I know a bunch of times I just put, like, \u201cbook on dinosaurs\u201d and hoped they picked the right one. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And of course, when you later remembered what you wanted (not books, darn it, toys!), it was too late. You couldn\u2019t change it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Online shopping made it slightly easier. You could look up gifts and have a more accurate idea. But of course, it\u2019s not like you could email your Secret Santa what you wanted. That would ruin the Secret part. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The next step was being able to make a wish list for a store online. That was pretty cool. You could click on anything on that store\u2019s catalog and put it on your list. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But that\u2019s also kind of limited. After all, you only have that one store. Even if it\u2019s a great store (the Shovel Emporium, say), you might want something else. So you\u2019d have to make another list. Combining them isn\u2019t easy in the best of circumstances, but trying to combine wish lists from multiple stores for a Secret Santa? Basically impossible. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What you really needed was a way to make a wish list for all websites online. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Suppose I want a shovel, but I also would like a sweater and maybe some work gloves. Sure, all of those things might<\/em> be at the Emporium, but maybe not. What would be better would be to click on the shovel from one store and add it to your list, then go to the online store with the best sweaters and click on the one you want. That way, everything goes to one list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

See, when you use a Secret Santa generator that lets you shop for gifts online<\/a> from multiple stores, you have a universal extension of that first mail order catalog. You\u2019re able to flip through just about every store in the world. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
