Often people will ask me to share my Amazon wishlist for birthdays/christmas. It’s pretty convenient for them, and it’ll mean I’m getting something I’m genuinely after.
However I’m trying to avoid Amazon going forward. Are there any websites you’d recommend that allow you to share a wishlist which collates links from other sites?
This one seems really good - nice UI, and majority of the profit going to charities. Thanks!
It’s a nice alternative because you can insert a URL from your preferred store. This is also useful if you find a specific item for a lower price elsewhere, so you’re not tied to Amazon. However, URL detection may not work in some stores. We tried fnac.com, but it couldn’t detect the thumbnail or title.
It’s interesting to read about the people behind Wishlephant: two parents who wanted to make things easier for other parents without favoring the biggest online store - it’s easier to support smaller and local stores: https://wishlephant.com/page/about
Best I found with a quick search. Its free and one founder is from the UK.
Also if you need to hide your mailing address, they have a ‘private shipping’ option.
An itemized list of things published wherever people can access it? Heck, just email it to them. Let them figure out where they want to spend their money.
@OmegaMouse Share IBAN oder Librapay of your favorite charity or FOSS project. There is no salvation in material gifts :wink:.
Honestly yeah that’s a nice idea! I’d rather that than getting a present I didn’t want
@OmegaMouse GoWish has an App. Don’t know who owns it and where the data goes. You just add links from websites.
