It doesn't change how things evolved, but this meme started over in the media fanfic community, where the nontangible things originally suggested were things like stories involving the media characters of one's choice or LJ icons -- which are intangible but reasonable to fulfill.

Along those lines, I wouldn't put "fix my brother" on a wishlist, because it's not feasible -- though if a genie were going to offer me magic-type wishes, that would be at the top of the list. So I know what you mean about it having the potential to be sad or bitter. (For anyone reading this and wondering, my brother was in a bike vs. car accident a couple of years ago that left him with considerable physical and some mental brain damage. He's made a wonderful recovery, all things considered, but that's not the same as being undamaged.)

But yeah, material things can be really nice, tacky as it may sound. Good food, and books, and DVDs, and electronic toys...
