Steps to create a wish list0 / 4 checked

Go to Amazon.co.uk and sign in to your account
Hover over Account & Lists in the top menu and click Create a List
Name your list (e.g. Birthday Wishes, Christmas Ideas, Home Renovation)
Choose your privacy setting - Public, Shared, or Private

Quick answer

Go to Account & Lists and click Create a List. Name it and set the privacy level. Add items by clicking "Add to List" on any product page. Share the list link with friends and family for gift occasions. You can create multiple lists for different purposes and manage them all from your account.

Adding items

Once your list is created, adding items is simple. On any Amazon product page, look for the "Add to List" button (usually near the Add to Basket button). Click it and select which list to add the item to. You can also add items from search results without opening the full product page.

Add from any product page using the Add to List button
Add notes and priorities to help gift-givers choose the right items
Set quantity and priority for each item to guide people on what you want most

Sharing your list

To share your wish list, open it from Account & Lists, then click the Share button. You can copy a link to send via email, messaging apps, or social media. You can also invite specific people by email directly from the list page.

When someone buys an item from your list, it is marked as purchased so others do not buy duplicates.

Gift-givers can send items to your address without seeing it. Amazon handles the delivery details.

New lists are private by default. You must actively share the link or set the list to Public.

Privacy settings

Private: only you can see the list - good for personal shopping planning
Shared: only people with the link can view it - best for sending to specific friends or family
Public: anyone can find your list by searching your name - use with caution
