Here’s everything you need to know about making and using an Amazon Wish List.
Amazon Lists are a great way to keep track of the items you want most, and the deals you want to take advantage of.
During busy shopping times like Prime Day —which will start July 16 at 12:01 a.m. PDT and run through July 17—as well as birthdays or holidays , Lists are a great way to organize things and keep track of prices and deals in Amazon stores. When the price of an item drops or a coupon or deal becomes available, you can choose to be notified via push alert if you’re using the Amazon app.

Lists aren’t just useful for Prime Day . They’re also great for birthdays and other special occasions for which people may want to buy gifts for you or your family members. When loved ones ask you for gift ideas, you can simply share the list with them with the click of a button. As items are purchased, they are no longer visible on the list, so you don’t accidentally end up with multiples.
Lists are also a great way to keep track of your own shopping lists, not just gifts. Maybe you’re redecorating a room in your home, or going on vacation and need a few things. Perhaps you’re in the middle of cooking a big meal and realize you’re missing some key cooking tools. Create a new Amazon List to keep track of everything you want or need.
When you’re logged into your Amazon account on a browser, you should see “Account & Lists” at the top of the page. When you hover over that, you’ll see a column titled “Your Lists,” and from there you can create a list.
If you’re using the Amazon app, you’ll click the icon with three horizontal lines in the bottom right corner, and then you will see “Lists” as an option on the bottom of the screen. Once you open that page, you can see your existing Lists or create a new one.

Another way to create a new List is from a product page. As you’re browsing items in Amazon’s store, you will find a drop down on the right side of your screen that says “Add to List.” You can choose an existing List you may have already created, or create a new one from there. You can also ask your Alexa device to create a new List.
You can also manage each List’s settings. For example, you may decide whether to include a shipping address, as well as the option to let anyone with access to your Alexa devices to add items to your Lists.
You can also choose to keep purchased items on the list, and whether or not to “spoil my surprises” (meaning, you won’t see which items have been purchased unless you try to buy an item that someone already bought).
As mentioned above, any time you’re on a product page in Amazon’s store, you should see the option to add the item to your Lists. You may also be able to add an item using your Alexa devices, if you have that setting turned on.
