It's that time of year again when we're all panic-buying our friends and family Christmas presents.
One thing that can make the festive shopping a little less stressful, however, is having some kind of idea about what your loved one is wanting for their gift - hence a present list.
However, some wish list rundowns are clearly a little more random than others given that people have the exact same question after seeing one kid’s unusual Christmas list.

Posting on the 'KidsAreF**kingStupid' thread on Reddit, one parent shared part of their daughter’s Christmas list along with the caption: "Looks like we need to go on a diet."
A handful of items on the list included a cotton candy maker, a candy machine, an ice-cream machine and, bizarrely, another cat.
Now, given the fact the nature of three of the desired items were food-orientated, it didn't take long for social media users to share their speculations over what happened to the original or 'first' four-legged friend.
One Reddit user joked: "DID SHE EAT THE FIRST CAT?"
"Did she eat your other cat?" echoed a second.
A third explained: "She just wants snacks and a friend to share them with!"
"Tbh I want all that so I don't blame her for asking," penned a fourth, while a fifth poetically put: "Snacks, friends, and fluff - life's trifecta of happiness."
And a final Reddit user lamented: "I miss these sort of innocent Xmas lists now my kids want cars and computers."
Talking of dodgy kids' Christmas lists, people were left absolutely 'speechless' after a woman shared exactly what her 13-year-old niece asked for last year.
The woman took to X to post a snap of the handwritten Christmas list along with the caption: "This is my 13-year-old niece's list..."
The list in question contained 43 items - with 'money' written down twice.
Spanning from luxury beauty products, high-spec tech and designer clothing - it's clear this teen spared no expense when compiling the rundown.
She titled it: "My 2023-2024 Xmas wish list."
The first item on the list really set the tone for what was to follow - 'Dior lip oil', which retails for around £32.
Other beauty and cosmetic items included 'false lashes', 'facial ice globes', 'Charlotte Tilbury products', 'Rare Beauty blush', 'Drunk Elephant bronzing drops', 'Gisou lip gloss', 'Dior concealer', 'mascara', 'Gucci perfume' and 'acrylic nails'.
There were also quite a few branded clothing items on the list including gear from 'Lululemon', 'pink Nike Dunks', 'Nike shorts', 'Nike socks', 'Skims' and 'Uggs'.
And it didn't stop there.
The 13-year-old even asked for a handful of pricey tech and appliances including a 'MacBook Pro', 'Apple Watch' and 'AirPods'.
If that wasn't enough, she also noted down an array of homeware such as 'cute candles' and 'LED lights' as well as gift cards to both 'Amazon' and beauty retailer 'Mecca'.
What happened to the good old-fashioned Argos catalogue?
