3,372 PointsDid you check for the correct formatting of the code? Python is extremely sensitive regarding the formatting (spaces) of the code.
I have copied your code and it is working without any issues

def display_wishlist(display_name, wishes):
print(display_name + ":")
suggested_gift = wishes.pop(0)
print("======>", suggested_gift, "<=====")
for wish in wishes:
print("* " + wish)
print()
display_wishlist("Books", books)
display_wishlist("Video Games" , video_games)
Make sure to have the code exactly like this. And make sure so save the file before running it in the workspace console.
Maybe consider going through the basics course again if you find yourself "lost" or if you have trouble with it.
