How to make and share your Amazon Wish List

Amazon has a wonderful wish list feature. Instead of feeling guilty about spending hundreds of dollars on your purchases , you can create an Amazon wish list for the holidays. Sharing a wish list lets you collaborate with your friends or family for presents or organize a gift registry. You can also configure the wish list to allow others to add or edit it per their requirements. This guide shows you how to create and share your Amazon wish list on any platform, including the mobile app. You don't need an Amazon Prime account, but a subscription has some perks to help you secure better deals on great products — like a new streaming peripheral inside your family living room.

Use your Alexa-compatible smart speaker to add items to your wish list via voice command.
