The requests vary, ranging from kids asking for toys to parents seeking baby essentials.
USPS has partnered with Toys ”R” Us to create "Santa's Gift Shoppe," where adopters can purchase the gifts. The online catalog offers free shipping on orders over $49.
"Purchases from Santa’s Gift Shoppe save a trip to a Post Office location — they’re packed and delivered to the recipient for you," the postal service says.
