What Amazon Wish Lists do well
According to Amazon's guide, lists stay private until you share them. You press Invite at the top of a list and copy the link or send it by email or text. Items bought from a list are labelled as purchased, and a spoil my surprises setting hides what has been bought from you.
You can add items from any Amazon product page, add ideas without naming a product, name lists by category, add comments and priority levels, and in the Amazon app get alerts when prices drop. For an Amazon shopper, that is a very complete tool.
The gap
Amazon's page does not say whether items can be added from other websites, so check before you promise anyone. The practical problem is that gift ideas do not live in one shop. A good book might be from one retailer, a coat from a brand's own site and a handmade mug from a market stall's website.
A second gap is who can use it. People buying for you may prefer not to have to sign in to Amazon to see a list, or may not shop there at all.
How HintDrop fills it
HintDrop lets you save an idea from any shop. On your phone, tap Share. On a laptop, use the free browser extension for Chrome, Edge, Firefox or Safari. Or paste a link. The name and picture come with it.
You share one list link. The people buying tap Dibs, so nobody doubles up. It also has birthday reminders, group gifts and a free Secret Santa tool with exclusions. It is free on iPhone, Android and the web.
Where Amazon is the better choice
If everyone buying for you has an Amazon account and you only want Amazon things, an Amazon list is the least effort. Price drop alerts in the app are also something we do not claim to match. Use the tool that matches how your family shops.
Using both
Many people will do both. Keep your Amazon list for the things you want from Amazon, and use a second list with us for everything else, then send one link to the person who asks. If you need ideas for what to put on it, see our Christmas list ideas.
A quick checklist
Before you pick, ask four questions. Does it work with the shops you actually use? Can people mark a gift without spoiling it? Can someone open it without an account? Will you still use it in January? Whichever tool answers yes to the most is the one for you. Our best wishlist apps guide compares more options.
Frequently asked questions
Can I add items from other shops to an Amazon Wish List?
Amazon's wishlist guide says you can add from any Amazon product page, and it does not say whether other websites are supported, so test it before you rely on it.
Can I hide what has been bought from my Amazon Wish List?
Yes. Amazon's spoil my surprises setting means you will not see what has been bought.
Is HintDrop free?
Yes, on iPhone, Android and the web.
How do I share a list?
On Amazon, press Invite on the list and copy the link or send it by email or text. With us, share the list link.
Can I use both?
Yes. Keep Amazon things on your Amazon list and everything else on a list with us.
