Wish List

A Wish List is a personalised list of all the things you or your organisation would love to own from the Amazon.co.uk website.

Friends, family and benefactors can look at the list and use it to purchase the perfect present.

Create your Wish List As soon as you register with Amazon.co.uk you'll be able to create your own Wish List. To add items, browse the Amazon.co.uk website and when you find something you'd like to receive, click the "Add to Wish List" button, which you'll find under the 'Add to Shopping Basket' button on the right-hand side of each product information page. You'll be asked to name your new list and confirm the privacy setting for it. You'll then be prompted to add further information to your Wish List.

Search for Wish Lists You can also search for other Wish Lists. Just use the search box on the Wish List page to find who you're looking for by name or e-mail address. Click the 'Add to Basket' button next to the item you'd like to purchase, select your giftwrapping and delivery options, and let us take care of everything else.

Privacy

If you purchase from a Wish List please note that Amazon.co.uk may provide to the owner of the Wish List your full name and address upon delivery of the purchased (or donated) item.

If you own a Wish List, please note that your delivery address may be visible to the purchaser (or donor) of that item from your Wish List.

For more information on privacy please refer to the Privacy Notice.

How do I create a Wish List?

To create a Wish List, ensure you're signed in and go to the product information page for the first item you'd like to add. Click the "Add to Wish List" button on the right-hand side of the page. You'll be asked to name your new list and confirm the privacy setting for it.

You'll then be prompted to add further information that will be associated with the Wish List, such as personal information that identifies you and a delivery address. This information is optional but it will help buyers to find your Wish List and send items to you.

Can I create multiple Wish Lists on my account?

Yes, you can create different Wish Lists for different occasions such as your birthday. Log in and go to your Wish List. On the left-hand side of the page, select 'Create a new Wish List'. On the next page you'll be presented with choices about your Wish List. When you're done, click 'Save'.

Your first Wish List is the default Wish List to which items are added, unless you choose to make a different Wish List your default. After you click the "Add to Wish List" button on a product information page, you'll be given the option to add the item to a different Wish List.

Can I add birthday information?

To associate your birthday with a Wish List you've already created, simply click the 'Show list profile' link on the left-hand side of your Wish List page and click the 'Update this list's profile' link.

Amazon.co.uk will not use your birthday for any reason other than to facilitate Wish List birthday reminders chosen by you and to generate information on the website. If you make your Wish List searchable, others can use your birthday to verify that they're buying a gift for the right person.

How can I make my Wish List searchable/not searchable?

Go to your Wish List and click the 'Manage Your Lists' link on the left-hand side of the Wish List, then under Privacy select 'Public' (searchable) or 'Private' (not searchable) from the drop down list of privacy options.

How can I share my Wish List with Family and Friends?

To share your Wish List with friends and family your Wish List privacy setting must be set to 'Public' or 'Shared with link'. Then simply click Share with Friends at the top of your Wish List, enter the e-mail address(es) of the people you want to share with, and click 'Send e-mail'.  When you click on Share with Friends there are also options to share on Facebook or Twitter.

How do I delete a Wish List?

How do I purchase from a Wish List?

Search for the Wish List by going to the Wish List page and entering the name or e-mail address of the person you're looking for. If more than one person with that name has a Wish List, the information on the next page should help you to find the right recipient.

When you've found the Wish List for the person you're looking for, remember they may have additional Wish Lists for special occasions. If they have more than one Wish List, you'll see the option to view a different Wish List on the right-hand side of the page.

How do I check what's been purchased?

By default, all Wish Lists display "unpurchased" items. To check which items have been purchased from a Wish List, change the option in the "Reveal" drop-down menu at the top of the list to "Purchased". Then click "Go!".

Items sold by Amazon that are ordered directly from a Wish List page will automatically be shown as purchased on a Wish List. However, if the order is placed from a page other than the Wish List page the item may not be marked as purchased.

To avoid a duplicate gift order from being delivered to the gift recipient, you might want to check that items are selected for purchase directly from the Wish List or Wedding List page and that they are sold by Amazon.co.uk.

Where are Wish List purchases sent?

When you purchase from a Wish List, you can choose where you want the item to be delivered to. After you proceed to the checkout your address book will be displayed. If the person who created the Wish List associated a delivery address with the list, you'll be presented with the option to send the item to that address. You can choose any other address in your address book or add a new address.

Organisations provide us with the delivery addresses at which they would wish to receive items you have purchased and wish to donate to them. This address will be displayed to you on the relevant organisation's Wish List. This address may not be the registered or main office address of the organisation and therefore you should not change the recipient's address on the order form. Please contact the organisation concerned if you have any queries.
