Holiday Wish Lists: Practical or Tacky?

We're thrilled to present this smart LearnVest story here on Savvy! Ah, the wish list. It made a lovely debut when we were little, often addressed to a certain Mr. Claus. It had a good run for a few years, but retired itself in adulthood as the stuff of kids and dreams (with the exception of weddings and babies, when they take on the adult guise of “registry”).

It's good to be Prince William. As far as my quick research can tell, he's never met Kanye West, but he's a fan and apparently invited the rapper to his wedding. While just about anyone would jump at the sight of the gilded invite, I'm sure the real excitement will lie with William and Kate if Kanye says I do.
