However, the most common use of an Amazon wishlist is to create lists of desired items to be gifted for various occasions. In this case, you can create a la public list, which is visible to all people who access the Amazon profile of the user who created it, or one shared list, accessible only to those who know its URL. In addition to the "classic" Amazon wishlist, the famous online shopping site also provides tools to create real ones wedding lists e birth lists.
