Amazon Wish Lists are one of the easiest ways to save items you love, plan future purchases, or share gift ideas with others. Whether you’re prepping for a birthday, organizing a holiday list, or just like to window shop online, this guide will walk you through how to add items to your Amazon Wish List—step-by-step.
Let’s jump in!
✅ Step 1: Make Sure You’re Logged In
First things first, open Amazon.com or the Amazon app and make sure you’re signed in to your account. You won’t be able to create or manage lists without being logged in.
✅ Step 2: Find the Item You Want to Save
Once you’re logged in, search for the product you want to add to your Wish List. After you’ve opened the item’s product page, scroll down just below the Add to Cart and Buy Now buttons.
You should see a blue link labeled Add to List.
💡 Pro Tip: If you’ve already created lists in your account, you’ll see them in a dropdown menu when you click Add to List. Just select Wish List, and you’re done!
✅ Step 3: Accessing Your Wish List
Now that you’ve added an item, you might want to go back and view your entire Wish List.
To do this:
-
Head back to the Amazon homepage.
-
Tap or click Your Stuff (on mobile) or Accounts & Lists (on desktop).
-
Scroll down and select Lists.
Here, you’ll see all of your created lists—including your default Wish List.
✅ Step 4: Manage & Share Your List
When you tap into your Wish List, you’ll see all the items you’ve saved. From here, you can:
-
View product details
-
Share your Wish List with others using the Invite button
-
Set permissions so others can View Only or View & Edit
This is especially handy for birthdays, weddings, baby showers, or any other time you need to drop a not-so-subtle gift hint!
🔐 Bonus Tip: Adjust Privacy Settings
You can also control who sees your list:
-
Tap the three-dot menu (•••) in the top-right of the list screen
-
Select Manage List
-
Choose your privacy level:
-
Private (only you)
-
