While wish lists are usually meant to help you save items you might want to buy later, Amazon's Wish List lets others get in on the shopping. Once you've made a Wish List, you can share it with anyone, so they know just what to buy you.
And if you're looking to make a collaborative list with someone — maybe you're working together to buy presents for a family member — you can set your Wish List so others can edit it.
