Make a Wish for a car and when it is granted it will equal a very happy person.

Here’s 11 of them including one you’ve never heard of (hint: we saved the best for last):

1.  Rub a Genie’s lamp to get three wishes.

You don’t have a Genie’s lamp handy?  Well find one…otherwise you’ll have to try one of the next methods.

2.  Wish upon a star.

I didn’t mean to make you start singing the Disney song…I’m sorry.  Keep in mind: you’ll get a lot of wishes in during a meteor shower.

3.  Blow out the candles on a birthday cake.

I would make sure it is YOUR birthday cake; getting spittles on someone else’s cake is not a good idea.

4.  The first star of the evening.

Don’t forget to recite the little saying before making your wish.  If you don’t remember it, here it is:   Star light, star bright.  First star I see tonight.  I wish I may, I wish I might.  Have the wish I wish tonight.

5.  Break a wishbone with a friend.

No, I didn’t say break a friend’s wishbone – you better read that sentence again.  After playing this form of tug-a-war, the person that comes away with the bigger piece is the victor – their wish will come true.  If it is a tie, you both get your wish.

6.  Blow an eyelash off your fingertip.

Don’t pluck your eyelash, otherwise it doesn’t count and you’ll look funny.  It needs to have fallen out on its own.  Now, put it on your fingertip and blow it off while making your wish.  If it doesn’t budge, you don’t get your wish.

7.  Blow the puffy white seeds off of a Dandelion.

You have to blow all the puffy parts off the Dandelion in one breath for the wish to come true.  This makes a great picture of someone too.

8.  Have someone turn your necklace clasp around.

When your clasp makes its way to the front of your neck, another person turns it around to the back again and tells you to make a wish.  A straightened out necklace and a wish at the same time, what a deal!

9.  When a ladybug lands on you.

Speak the little phrase, “Ladybug, ladybug, fly away home“.  If the ladybug listens to you and flies off, then your wish is granted.  No you can’t flick her off, be nice to little old ladybugs.

10.  Throw a coin in a (wishing) well or fountain and make your wish.

The bigger the denomination of the coin, the more weight your wish will have to get granted.  It will also produce a bigger splash.

And last, but not least…drum roll please…the method you’ve never heard of:

11.  Make a wish on Ewishingwell’s website (www.ewishingwell.com) and let people actually grant your wish.

Wow, using people power and not just fairy power to get your wish granted – what a concept.  Its easy and its free – now that’s what I call awesome!

Now you know 11 methods used to make a wish.  If you already knew them, maybe it was a good refresher list for you.  Go ahead and start making wishes, so the universe can grant them.

Do you know any additional ways to make a wish???  Post them as a comment, I would love to read them and try them myself.

Have fun wishing,
