I keep seeing my neighbors using up their 5 wishlist slots on hammer, nails, drill, paint and bricks. Unfortunately, what this means is that I don’t know what things I can send them that they need.
Keep in mind the method of sending that the wishlist uses. If you “send gift” from the neighbor page or from the list that appears in game, it comes out of your inventory. You’re essentially asking people to give you what they already have.
Everyone needs hammers, nails, drills, bricks and paint. Everyone*. Chances are, no one is going to use the “Send Gift” option to send you those things. People will send them as free daily gifts and they’ll select your link asking for more, but they are not going to give up their own personal stockpile because they, too, will need them.
Instead, your wishlist should be used for items that people will send you from their inventory. Specifically, collection items, but also extra cloth, ribbons, etc. (While these items are needed, they’re needed in smaller quantities and easier to accumulate.)
What I recommend is to look through your collections and determine which collections offer the best (or most needed) reward and focus on completing those. Adding your missing collection items to your wishlist increases your chances of receiving gifts, particularly those that will lead to helpful bonuses.
Further, to increase your chances of getting items and completing collections (again), consider focusing on collections that are simple to complete. Chickens, pumpkins, potatoes, fruit trees, etc. are all things that are harvested often and means that many people probably have multiple duplicates of the items in those collections.
Unless you have neighbors who are so high level that they’ve accumulated more finishing parts than they will ever need, you probably won’t see a difference in the number of hammers (etc.) that you receive. You will, however, see a difference in the number of gifts that you receive and the number of collections you’re able to turn in.
*Some people may have finished all the available buildings at the moment, but as soon as new buildings are released they will, once again, need those items. Some people may be willing to give them away now, not expecting new buildings anytime soon, but I suspect that as new content is added, they will stop sending those items from their own inventory.
