How to share Amazon wish list: All your questions answered

An Amazon wish is handy and very important. You can create wish lists for Christmas, a wedding, or a baby gift registry. They make it easy when you want to search for these products in the future since you do not have to search for them all over again.

You could create many lists if you wanted with a single Amazon account. Here’s how you can make (and then share) your Amazon wish lists.

How to create an Amazon wish list

1. From the homepage or any page on Amazon, hover over Accounts & Lists and select Create a List.

2. Provide a name for your list and then select Create List. We named our list Samuel’s birthday list.

3. This will redirect you to the list page. To change the settings, hover on More on the right side of the screen and select Manage List.

4. The Manage List page contains customization options like:

• List Name: to change the name of your list.
• Privacy: to choose if you want your list to be public (anyone can view it), private (only you can see it), or shared (only specific people can view it).
• Manage List with Alexa: to choose whether to use an Amazon Echo or another Alexa-capable device to add items with voice commands.
• List Is For: to specify whether your list is for you or an organisation.
• Recipient: to set the name of the person or organisation the items people buy from the list will go to.
• Email: to set the email address of the recipient.
• Birthday
• Description: to give a short overview of the wish list. This field makes it easier for others to find your list by searching.
• Shipping Address: to set the location to which items people buy from the list will ship.
• Keep purchased items on your list: this allows you to specify whether items you or someone else purchases will remain on the list.
• Don’t spoil my surprises: Turn this option on to keep purchased items visible for a few weeks, so you don’t know what a gifter has bought. This backfires on a few occasions.

5. The Delete List removes your wishlist from the website. Only use this option if you’re completely done with the page or want to start over.

6. You can then click Save changes and your changes will take effect.
