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.

Here's how to share your Wish List (or any other list) using the Amazon website or app.

How to share your Amazon Wish List using the website

1. Head to the Amazon website and log into your account, if you haven't already.

2. Hover your mouse over the Account & Lists option in the top-left, and then select Wish List from the pop-up.
