Special Wants Holiday Gift Exchange
Our friends over at Bacon and Juice Boxes, are running the 3rd Annual Special Wants Holiday Gift Exchange and need our help.
What is it?
This holiday “wish list” was created as a way to help special needs families get some help around the holidays buying gifts for their special loved ones and siblings. We know that there are so many expenses when you are caring for a special needs child or adult.
So, we hoped to ease the burden around the holidays and show these families a little holiday magic by finding angels to grant their wishes!
When does it take place?
Now! Our special families have signed up their wishes and are awaiting angels to help make their holiday’s special and magical. We currently have 1,560 wishes waiting to be granted by an angel.
It is our goal to have all wishes granted by December 18th. (In 2016, we granted 507 wishes -and in 2017, we granted 1,309 wishes! — every single wish was granted both years and we hope and pray that we will have the same success this year!!)
How Can I help?
- Sign up to grant wishes! You can choose to grant 1 wish or many wishes!
- Spread the word about this event in an effort to help us locate more angels.

How Did this All Start?
The Bacon and Juice Boxes family created a spin off from their main Facebook page called: Special Wants: A Bacon and Juice Boxes Project. The primary goal of this page is to help special families find rare, discontinued or hard to find toys or other specific items.
We know our kids love to find things on YouTube or google that were sold in 1998 and no longer available in stores. This amazing community has come together and go out of their way to help perfect strangers find those items on a daily basis-since the page was launched in 2015.
We have members from all over the world and if you decide to join the group, you will quickly learn that it will become the bright spot in your daily news feed!
This group has been so beyond amazing and we wanted to find a way to GIVE BACK to a group of people that are so GIVING all year long.
Please consider signing up to grant some wishes. It will be so appreciated, and you will become addicted to watching the daily “remaining wish” countdown!
