While the little ones will still be able to write the letter to Santa Claus, to let others know what gifts they would like to receive at Christmas or a birthday or for an organized party (even a wedding or a baptism for example), it is possible to create the list of you want on Amazon and share it with others.
Using an Amazon wish list as a list to receive Christmas gifts or a party certainly has many advantages.
First of all, given that probably those who make the gift will still use Amazon, thanks to the wish list they will know exactly which gift we want, without the possibility of making mistakes.
With the wish list shared between friends and relatives, you will not run the risk of receiving double gifts, because every time a product is bought it will be crossed off the list and everyone will be able to see it.
The list is in fact automatically updated and also when a new product is added to the wish list and all those who can access it will be able to see the changes in the list, products added or already given away.
Sharing the list is easy and immediate, with a unique link just to copy and paste in an Email or even in a message on Whatsapp or Messenger.
Once the selected gifts have been purchased, they will be automatically sent to the shipping address of the person who made the list with a personalized message attached by the person who made the gift.
Furthermore, if you create a list with many products, the gift maker can choose what he wants and therefore maintain the surprise effect without letting the recipient know what he has bought.

In case you want to include in the wish list products that Amazon does not sell, you can install the Amazon Assistant extension on your browser to add it anyway.
Once installed on Chrome or Firefox, you can visit the site that sells the desired product not present on Amazon and add it to the wish list.
