I vote Yea!
I like how a list enables me to get new ideas from my son. I can't possibly notice all of his interests the older he gets. I'm just not as involved as I was when he was 4. I notice the biggies, but the smaller ones that aren't in front of my face go unnoticed.
Lists give me a way to avoid the same old, same old gifts. My son doesn't do sports, crafts or mechanics, so lists give me ideas. Lists also eliminate the gifts that sit in a box for eternity until kiddo can toss it without being seen. A prime example would be the wood burning kit that is sitting in the garage. Why did I buy something like that for an super not-crafty kid?!?! Stupid mom moment!
Obviously, we don't do the huge gimme list. But he does frequently give me a starting point. For instance, he tells me which PS2/PC games are interesting, what type of movie and which are his favorite.

MissN has started her list already!
It's funny how they love to start them early. I can remember a time when my kiddo had his ready by Oct. Of course, back then his stuff didn't cost as much. *lol*
Thanks for stopping!
