make any wishes/resolutions

To my disappointment, I wasn't able to make any wishes/resolutions because Lisa had thrown away all of our coins.


I doubt that both of bolded words are suited to the above sample and convey the same idea. Your comments? Thanks.

Only "wishes", my friend!
As far as I know, when a coin is thrown in a wishing well or any other watery substitute, we make a wish, not a resolution! Save those for 2008
