Make a wishlist on Amazon to share
Download Article
The Amazon Wish List can serve many purposes. It can be used as your own personal save-for-later list, which contains your list of things to buy or save for. It can also be used as an online gift registry for many events, such as weddings, birthdays, babies, and others, which you can then use to share with your friends and family. If you’re looking for a gift for someone who maintains such a list on Amazon, you can just browse through his list and buy from there.
