Amazon Wish Lists offer a convenient way to keep track of your desired items or to share gift ideas with others. Here's an in-depth look at this useful feature.
An Amazon Wish List allows you to create a list of products that you would like to receive as gifts. You can add items to your Wish List from Amazon's catalog or by using the Amazon Assistant browser extension to add products from any website.
When you add something to your Wish List, it won't be purchased right away. Instead, it saves the items so you can share your list with others. Friends and family can view your list and purchase items from it as gifts for you.
You can customise your list by adding a description, changing privacy settings, and more. To edit these settings later, click "List Actions" while viewing your list.
Yes, you can share your Wish List with friends, family, and followers. There are a few different ways to share:
If someone has made their Wish List public or shared the link with you directly, it's easy to find. You can also search for lists associated with someone's name or email if they've added it to their Amazon profile.
To search, go to www.amazon.com/gp/registry/search and enter their name or email address. Any public lists or registries should appear. Make sure you only access lists that have been intentionally shared with you.
When someone purchases an item from your Wish List, it will be marked as "Purchased" on your list. Amazon does not automatically remove purchased items - you'll need to manually remove them if desired.
You'll also get a notification email letting you know something has been purchased. This helps you track gifts and avoid duplicate items. The purchaser can choose to include a gift message too.
Yes! You can use the Amazon Assistant browser extension to add items from any website to your Wish List. When you find a product on another site, click the Amazon Assistant button to bring up an option to add it.
The Amazon Assistant is available for Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge. Add it to your browser to start adding non-Amazon items.
You can rank items in your Wish List by priority. While viewing your list, click the drop down menu next to "Sort & Filter" and choose "Priority".
You can set the priority level for each item on your list as High, Medium, or Low. This provides gift-givers an indication of which items you want most.
When someone views your Wish List, they will only see your name and the city/state associated with the shipping address - not the full address. This protects your privacy.
If you don't want even your city/state displayed, you can create a new shipping address titled "Gift Registry Address" and set this as your default. It will only show this title when people view your list.
Items purchased from your Amazon Wish List are eligible for free returns, as long as the gift-giver selected Amazon as the seller. You have 30 days after receiving the gift to initiate a return.
Gift items shipped from and sold by third-party sellers may have different return policies. Be sure to check the return eligibility before trying to send an item back.
Yes, Amazon offers Wish List functionality for nonprofits. Approved 501(c)(3) charitable organizations can create an AmazonSmile Charity Lists.
These lists allow nonprofits to share items they need for their mission. Donors can purchase items and have them shipped directly to the charity.
Yes, you can create multiple Wish Lists on Amazon. For example, you may want separate lists for different occasions like holidays, birthdays, or weddings. You can make as many lists as you need.
To add a new Wish List, hover over "Account & Lists" and click "Your Wish List". Then click the button to "Create a List".
