A newcomer in our family objected that providing a wish list made it all pretty stupid; as you say, we could just go fulfill the list for ourselves. That objection prodded me to find the words to explain: “I want to help this particular birthday/holiday/occasion feel special to you. Your wish list helps me get that right; so you making a wish list is actually a kindness to me.”

Ben can still hear the tinkling of the bell. How very nice.
