My papa often surprises me with gifts from Uniqlo, BEAMS, Aesop, and so on…
This content is machine-translated.
I’m very grateful and happy, but would he be put off if I told him what’s currently on my wish list?
Should I just quietly accept whatever my papa gives me?
Please accept it graciously. He bought it for you because he thought it would make you happy.
If you think that way, he may start wondering, “Does she not like what I bought for her?”
Always accept his gifts with a smile.

I think it’s best to accept surprises while gradually making a few requests of your own.
Start with small things and slowly raise the level so it doesn’t feel unreasonable.
For example: while you’re together, ask him to buy you a small item costing around 300 yen → show how genuinely happy you are so he realizes, “She’ll be happy even if it isn’t a surprise” → next, ask for something around 1,000 yen → be even happier → and he’ll start thinking, “I should buy her more.”
Try this approach. Best of luck.

If you’re genuinely grateful and happy about it, I think you should simply accept it.
A wish list might put off people who aren’t familiar with that kind of culture.

If he enjoys surprising people with gifts, I don’t think it’s a good idea to outright tell him what you want.
Personally, I’d think, “Why not just buy it yourself?”
Maybe he gets a kick out of choosing and giving surprise gifts. You could casually mention something like, “I’ve been wanting something like this,” during a conversation, and he may pick up on the hint.
If not, he probably prefers surprising people with gifts he chooses himself.
