Did you know you can share an Amazon wish list with other people? You can use a wish list to show people the types of items you’re looking to purchase on Amazon. You can also configure your Amazon wish list to allow others to add and remove items.

If you want to share an Amazon wish list, the process is straightforward and only takes a few moments. We’ll show you how to create and share an Amazon wish list from your desktop browser, iPhone, iPad, or Android device.

How to Create an Amazon Wish List

The idea of sharing an Amazon Wish List is like sharing other items online, like Google Docs or MS Office files. The list lets other people know what you’re looking to purchase or want on Amazon.

You can set the list to either Private or Shared.

2. Hover the mouse over Account & Lists and click the list you created.
3. Click the Invite button under the name of your list.
4. A window will open with the option to invite someone to your list. You can set it to View Only or View and Edit. Your choice will be based on how you want to use the list. In our example, we’re picking View Only.
5. After making your selection, a message will appear so you can share a link to your list. For example, you can choose to copy and paste it into a text or in Discord. In addition, you can share the link via email.

If you use your phone to do most of your online shopping, you might also want to create a wish list using your phone or tablet. Note the instructions are essentially the same on iPhone, iPad, and Android. Before starting, install the Amazon app, which is available on iOS and Android.

7. After making your sharing choice, you can get the link to email or link to share wherever you need or want it.
8. Tapping the More button will bring up other apps and options to share your link.

Sharing Amazon Wish Lists

You can get some excellent gifts when you add items to your Amazon wish list and share them. For example, if you’re a writer, musician, or artist, you can share items that you might need or want. Friends, fans, or family members can then purchase the items as a gesture of appreciation.

If someone doesn’t share their wish list, you may still be able to find their Amazon wish list. If also worth noting that you can cancel an Amazon order after it’s shipped. Of course, not everything on Amazon is the best deal—there are some things that are never cheaper on Amazon.
