CP: Do you have an Amazon wish list for your child?

[cjeanette]

No.

I don't think anyone bought them gifts from Amazon

[jenn248]

Yes, per requests from my mom and grandmother.

[turkletsmom]

Yes- but I use it as a shopping list for me so I can keep a list of things I will want to buy DS in the future. Only my sister and my BFF know about it and they actually love shopping from it.

[ilikedonuts]

Yes. Everyone knows the link so they can buy from it for whatever (birthday, Christmas, Easter) and I add to it all the time so I remember what things I want to get for them at some point.

[aspentosh]

Yes. But it's private and I only use it to keep track of ideas.

[ssmjlm]

Yes

But few use it, even though they ask for suggestions. #bitter

[SallySparrow]

Yes, but we just use it for us. None of our family shops amazon.

[redheadk]

Yes, I mostly just use it to track ideas but will give out the link if a relative asks for a link to some gift ideas for her.

[meij]

Yes but I use it to keep track of stuff I want to buy them eventually or give as ideas for gifts. It's also nice so when my H is buying himself random stuff on amazon and needs $10 more for free shipping he just goes and grabs a book or something off their list.

SIL did find it this year (I think it was linked from my H list on Elfster) and marked things as purchased but just bought stuff sort of like it. She did the same thing for me as my secret santa. Oh Meij wants huggable hangars? I'll buy her plastic ones and mark huggable as purchased. Same thing.

[Deleted]

I buy off Amazon for 3 of 4 of my nieces and nephew. One neice doesn't have one.

Same here.  I am also delighted when I find my friends have them for their kids.  Easiest birthday shopping ever.

[qcinoct]

Yes. Even though I can rarely get stuff shipped here from it (see @vicmo tundra), my family is in the US and always asking for ideas

[kdubs923]

I add to it anytime MMM has a favorite products type of thread. None of my family knows about it, so it's mostly for my own (bad) memory.

I have one for DS and one for future kid(s). Because sometimes MMM recommends stuff for the littles that DS has already outgrown.

[CloudBee]

Yes, but no one has ever asked for it or located it on their own and purchased from it before. Just us.

Yes, this

[teatimefor2]

Yes, but I only give it to people who ask.

[irishbride2]

I keep a wish list for everything. I just checked. I have 9 different ones. I don't use them to send to people. I use them to sort things and save ideas...and then track prices via camelcamel.


Then when people ask for ideas I can link from the wish list and pick and choose.

So yes, each kid has one. If I don't track ideas, I forget!

[anna7602]

Yes. I have three siblings and about four first cousins in addition to my ILs and a handful of other relatives who all buy Xmas and birthday presents for my kids. It makes things easier since they all ask for ideas/lists.

I have one for myself and sorry not sorry that my ILs bought me the Aden & Anais adult-size blanket from it for my birthday this year. I had put it on there for DH, but they beat him to it!

[thebreakfastclub]

I had never heard of that until the Otterama drama on ML. That was so awesome.

Anyway, no one in my family really shops on line so that would be a fail. I don't even use Amazon that much anymore.

[zeewifeandmama]

Yes.

[yellowbrkrd]

Yes. As soon as he was born I started it, more to keep track of items he would need as he got older. Any time someone asks if he needs anything or what he "wants" for x-mas/birthday, I refer them there. Now the family just knows to check it.

[vmars]

Yes, but we only give the link to ILs/parents per their request. We also add items not sold on Amazon.

[rex]

yes.

people ask for it and then ignore it which is kind of annoying.

i also have a private one to remember things for her.

[cjeanette]

This remind me..

A couple weeks ago a coworker made an amazon wishlist in the name of another coworker. ...made of sex toys.

It was discovered when the coworker dad googles his sons name and amazon wishlist looking for christmas ideas.

Never going to stop being funny

Oh my...

We need more details on how this was revealed at work.

[water*drop]

Yes, but it's mostly for me to add ideas throughout the year because I hate having to come up with lists in November or right before her birthday. I only share the link if people ask for a Christmas/birthday list for DD.

[VillainV]

We do because the grandparents BEGGED us to create one. Then nobody bought anything off it. So I'm switching it to private and we'll just use it for ideas for him.

[rondonalddo]

Yes. And I wish certain people would use it because Hi, I list all of DD's clothing sizes there and also because I want to be selective about the toys that come into our house.

[jackpackage]

Yes. We rarely buy toys for him aside from his birthday and Christmas, so I like to keep a list of ideas somewhere. My sister and parents were the only other ones who bought from it in the past, but our whole family wanted the link this year.

[bowies]

I have a public one for each of us and a private one.
