Amazon Wishlist FAQs

How can I find Amazon Wish Lists that have already been shared with me?

Go to "Find a wishlist" and enter your login credentials if prompted. Now, ideally, use the email address of the person in question. You can also use their name, but the email address is unique, ensuring a better match. Next, select "Search" and search for your friend's wishlist. If you want to save the link to the list, select “Remember”.

How do I share my Amazon Wishlist?

Lots of people buy things from their wishlists, but you can also share your wishlist with other people. Start by navigating to "Your Lists", then navigate to "Manage List" in the list menu. Under "Privacy", select the "privacy setting" of your choice. “Private” means that only you will be able to see the list. “Public” means anyone will be able to find it. "Shared" means that only people with a link to your list can see it. Once you've made your choice, click "Save Changes" to confirm.

If you click on "Share", located at the top of the list, you will be able to notify people of the list by email. Recipients will receive your Wishlist URL. Keep in mind that your friends may have to wait up to 15 minutes before they can search your list.

Is the recipient informed of the purchase of the gift?

No, the recipient does not receive a notification or message when purchasing a gift for them, at least not by default. This feature is called the "Don't spoil my surprises" setting. Essentially, this option prevents the recipient from receiving a notification about someone purchasing a gift for them. The feature is great for surprises, but can lead to mini-tragedies, where the recipient ends up ordering the item from their wishlist while the same gift is still on the way.

To avoid this (but also to spoil your surprise), go to the "Your Lists" menu, then click "Manage List" on a particular listing you want to edit, and uncheck "Keep Purchased Items on Your List." Next, choose whether you want to enable or disable the "Don't spoil my surprises" setting. It is entirely up to you. Finish by selecting “Save Changes”.

Is the recipient's address private on Amazon's wishlists?

Yes, recipient addresses are private on Amazon Wishlists. When someone buys something for that person, they will only see the name and city information, nothing else. This action is essential to protect user privacy on Amazon.
