102 real wishes: what people actually ask for
We read through more than a hundred lists people built for a family holiday in autumn 2026, and kept only what was typed by hand, not picked from our own prompts. That left 102 entries. This is not a curated pick — it is the method, the full sample as text, and how to reference it.
Method: where this data comes from
In the autumn of 2026, people built wish lists inside the Dualog «Rosh Hashanah» game for a family holiday — writing them themselves, during play, with no outside survey involved. We read the lists end to end and stripped everything personal: names and other identifying details.
«Typed by hand» means an entry the person wrote themselves, not one picked from our own in-game prompts — items chosen from prompts are not part of this sample. What was left after that filter is 102 entries.
The limits, stated plainly. One holiday: an autumn family gathering, not any occasion. One cultural and linguistic setting: the people who played this game, not a representative sample of any population. A small size: 102 entries. This is not a sociological study — it is a specific, checkable slice of what specific people wrote.
The main finding: specificity
Among entries people typed themselves, roughly one in three names a brand, a model or a qualifier: «pinot noir», not «wine»; «DJI Osmo 3 Combo camera», not «camera». Among entries picked from prompts — guessed rather than written — none does.
The whole idea in one line: you can guess «wine». You cannot guess «pinot noir». What follows is the sample itself, grouped the same way as on gift ideas, with no summarising in between.

Common questions
The list is free — both for the person collecting it and for everyone it is sent to.
Where do these 102 entries come from?
From wish lists people built themselves inside the Dualog «Rosh Hashanah» game in autumn 2026. We read the lists end to end, stripped names, and kept only what was typed by hand, not picked from prompts.
Is this representative of every holiday and culture?
No, and we are not hiding that. The sample is one holiday, one cultural and linguistic setting, and 102 entries in total. It is an illustrative slice, not a sociological study.
Why does the page show only 46 of the 102 entries?
It shows every entry we have already written out as text on the site — 46 of 102. The rest feed into the aggregate count and the one-in-three finding, but we have not published their exact wording separately yet.
Can I use this data in an article or a study?
Yes, freely and without asking permission — see «how to cite this sample» above. Please do not round the count up or down: it is 102 entries, not more.
Where is the version with explanations for each idea?
On gift ideas — forty of these same 102 entries, each with a line on who it fits and why.
