Wish lists are one of the most important parts of the online shopping process. It is a list of all the items that a customer wants to own but has not yet purchased.
The Amazon Wish List can be used in a variety of ways. For example, if you are browsing for something on Amazon and see something you like or need, but are not going to buy it immediately, then you can add it to this list. In that way, you’ll know that you can always find it on your list, especially if it’s something that you think is important.
Furthermore, it is possible, when you create a list and add items to it, to make that list available to other people. That way you can add family members and friends so they can see what items you want, and it simplifies the whole process of buying gifts for someone.
