I always get a kick out of what ridiculous/hilarious things children ask for. Is there anything your kids have asked Santa to bring them for Christmas that does not actually exist? Or maybe something extremely specific?
My older daughter has repeatedly asked for a "Daniel Tiger Car" and a thorough google search shows up nothing. I think I've gathered from her that what she ACTUALLY means is a red car, so that's what I got her. Obviously he has a trolley, but she knows that it's a trolley and not a car, so she's really asking for a car LOL.
A black Doc McStuffins bike. DH thinks we can buy a black bike and put a decal on it somehow. I still haven't figured out what we're going to do so I'm open to ideas.
You can donate and "adopt" a red panda through the World Wildlife Fund and they send you a stuffed red panda and certificate. I am going to do that and include a letter from Santa that says unfortunately, we cannot take red pandas from their natural habitat but Santa has adopted one on your behalf and will look after it (or something like that).

My two-year old has asked for "stripes."
I ask what she wants. "Presents." I ask what kind. "Stripes." I ask if the stripes should be on something special, like a shirt or a doll or a car. "No. Just stripes."

Maybe like his "Tigertastic Racecar" that he always plays with on the show?

Oooh, maybe! I'll see if I can find something similar to that. Thanks for the suggestion!
DS asked for a rope. So he can swing down from upstairs to our lower level (split-level house). Like a monkey. It's ok, because he'll be careful and land on his feet.

J wants to play basketball with the Golden State Warriors and baseball with the Chicago Cubs. He believes that he could easily be on their teams and that they just need to see him play. He would also like O'Dell Beckham Jr. to have dinner at our house.
A Voltron toy. Technically, this isn't impossible but thanks to grown men with 80s nostalgia, the originals sell for $$$ and apparently no one figured out that putting the show on Netflix might create a market for new toys. I actually contacted a company that has the rights to make the new toys and they said they'd be out in November or December. We'll see. Nothing yet.

So...
Can you wrap in striped paper? When DD was 2 she just wanted "red presents" so I wrapped everything in red. She seemed satisfied.

This was my thought, too. I don't know that she really understands the concept of giving/receiving presents fully, yet, so this was my best guess.

In fact, I just asked again for Christmas lists and Keira said, "I want a hedgehog. Do I need a permit for a hedgehog? If so, I want a permit for a hedgehog and a hedgehog."

My DS (7) has asked for a 4 wheeler that turns into anything wants - like an xbox, a submarine or a dog - whatever he's feeling like playing with that day. You should have seen the looks that Santa gave me while he was making this request. Santa even asked if it had to be full size and my son said "definitely". Heaven help me!
The suits and power discs from Wild Kratts that let them turn into animals. He specifically asked for it as a Santa gift because I told him that's not a real thing but "Santa will know how to make it". Uh-huh
