I clicked on a for someone and bought it, but the bush never took it. It's still in my inventory. But it let me make a wish afterwards. I'm confused.......and it didn't count towards the achievement. :(
Having the same problem spent about 2mil on the item and it's in my inventory and the item is still showing as not granted. :( and it still appears when I refresh.
I just checked and it didn't count toward achievements and the item is still in my inventory and it has finally vanished from where you have 5 minutes and shows the items. So guess i'm out 2mil grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
I claimed and bought the item and turned it in (the timer says I have 2:45 minutes more to grant the wish). The item is still in my inventory and is no more displayed on the shrub. Morover, I can't make my wish. The item was a ruby dagger. It was not easy for me to buy it. And now I don't need it. I'm sorry for that.

when you went back to turn the item in, did you click on the item icon on the 'grant wish' page? You have to do that to turn it in - it doesn't just identify that it's in your inventory :)
Yes I did it again and again. The staff told me about bugs.

I still have both items and my wish grant count wasn't falsely inflated or anything; just pissed that as hard as this has been made to participate in anyway, I've spent sp I didn't need to on something I don't even want. (Oh awesome, it resold!)
Glad to see that at least some of these seem like they might be going through? I was little worried there when my item disappeared but it kept taking me back to the page saying that the wish hadn't been fulfilled/I didn't have the item yet. I'm pretty sure the person got their item in that case at least.
