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?

    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

    ![Here’s a screenshot of a testing wishlist. It shows a list of books with photos, titles, ISBNs, prices, and link to buy them. On the right, there’s a button called “Claim.” At the top, inside a yellow box, there’s a message that says:

    “Welcome to a Wishlephant wishlist! 🙋🏻‍♀️ Mark what you want to give with “Claim”. This way others can see that the gift has been taken. 🤫 For the person who created the list, it remains a surprise!”](https://social-cdn.vivaldi.net/system/media_attachments/files/114/477/076/485/102/523/original/bfe508272aa8f8fc.png)
