How To Create an Amazon Wish List And Share it

Ever found yourself dreaming of your perfect birthday, except nobody gets you what you really want? Or maybe you saw something amazing on Amazon and just didn’t want to forget it? Well, say hello to the magical world of Amazon Wish Lists! These handy lists can keep track of your wishes and make online shopping way more fun and organized.

And the best part? You can share them with friends and family, so they know exactly what to get you without the guesswork!

What Is an Amazon Wish List?

An Amazon Wish List is like your personal gift registry. Think of it as a shopping cart that doesn’t check out. You can add anything you want — books, gadgets, shoes, kitchen tools, even snacks (yes, snacks!).

It’s useful for birthdays, holidays, weddings, or just daydreaming. Bonus: you can have more than one for different occasions!

Step-by-Step: Creating Your Wish List

1. Log Into Amazon
   Open Amazon.com and sign into your account. If you don’t have one yet, it takes only a few minutes to create.
2. Go to Your Lists
   At the top-right of the Amazon homepage, hover over “Accounts & Lists.” Then click “Create a List.”
3. Give It a Name
   You’ll be asked to name your list. It can be anything you want like “Birthday Bash,” “Christmas Cravings,” or “Rainy Day Treats.”
4. Choose Privacy Settings
   You can choose from three settings:
   • Public – Anyone can see it.
   • Shared – Only people with the link can see it.
   • Private – Only you can see it.

   Set it as Shared if you want friends or family to see it.

5. Click “Create List”
   That’s it! You’ve made your Amazon Wish List. Time to fill it up!

Adding Items to Your List

Now comes the fun part — adding goodies to your list!

1. Find something you like on Amazon.
2. On the product page, click “Add to List.”
3. Choose the correct list from the popup (if you have more than one).

Ta-da! It’s now saved on your Wish List. You can add as many items as you like.

Organizing Your Wish List

A messy list isn’t fun at all. Luckily, Amazon lets you tidy things up!

• Sort by priority – Mark items as “highest,” “high,” “medium,” or “low” priority.
• Add notes – Tell people why you want it or specify size or color.
• Move items – You can shift items to other lists or remove them completely.

This makes it easier for someone looking at your list to make a perfect choice.

Sharing Your Amazon Wish List

Ready to let the world know what you want? Here’s how to share your list:

1. Go to Your Lists.
2. Select the Wish List you want to share.
3. Click the “Invite” button on the right-hand side.
4. Choose how you want to share:
   • View Only – They can see your list but can’t edit it.
   • You can copy the link or send it via email, Facebook, or elsewhere.

This is perfect for telling friends what to get you without actually saying it out loud. Smooth, huh?

Tips for Making the Best Amazon Wish List Ever

• Be specific – If you want a red toaster, say red toaster, not just “a toaster.”
• Include a mix of prices – That way everyone can find something in their budget.
• Update your list – Remove stuff you’ve bought or no longer want.
• Use filters – You can filter your list to see purchased or still-needed items.

Using It for Special Occasions

An Amazon Wish List isn’t just for birthdays. Here are some cool ways to make it useful all year long:

• Baby Shower – Pick the cuteness overload items you’d love for your little one.
• Wedding Registry – Add everything from cutlery to decorations.
• Housewarming – Make moving easier with a list of essentials and homey goodies.
• Back to School – Keep track of school supplies, books, and dorm stuff.
• Holiday Gift Guide – Create a list with ideas for others — mom, dad, friends, or even pets!

Using the Amazon App

On the go? No problem! You can create and manage your Wish List from the Amazon mobile app too.

1. Open the app and sign in.
2. Tap the menu (three lines) in the corner.
3. Select “Your Lists.”
4. Create or select a list as you would on the website.
5. Add items to your list using the “Add to List” button on product pages.

You can even share it via text or messenger apps. Shopping made mobile!

Privacy and Safety

Worried about privacy? Don’t be! Amazon lets you control everything:

• Your address isn’t shared – When someone buys you a gift, Amazon doesn’t show your full address. It just says something like “Ships to [Your First Name] – Wishlist.”
• Set reminders – You can change the visibility of your list depending on the event — make it public during your birthday month, then mark it private again.

Getting Notified

Want to know when someone buys something off your list? Amazon doesn’t ruin the surprise — for gifts, it usually keeps it secret. But you can use your list as a tracker:

• Click into your list and choose “Filter & Sort.”
• Select “Purchased” or “Unpurchased.”
• This helps you know what’s still needed without finding out exactly who bought what.

Wrapping It Up

Now you’re ready to be an Amazon Wish List wizard. 🎁✨

Whether it’s for your birthday, a special celebration, or just some online dream-shopping, a Wish List makes life easier and more fun. Create it, customize it, and share it — it’s like sending your gift wish directly to Santa (or at least Aunt Marie).

Go ahead, make your list and check it twice. You deserve all the good stuff!
