How to find Amazon wish list on iPhone

If you want to surprise a family member or friend with a gift you’re sure they’ll like, you can find their Amazon wish list and buy them something they have already added on the list.

It’s actually easy to find someone’s wish list on Amazon provided they have set it to public and shared it with you. You can’t access someone’s wish list if they have set it to private, unfortunately.

While in the past you could search for Amazon wish lists by names and emails, that method doesn’t work now. Amazon has removed the public search for wish lists, so you need to request access for personal wish lists. Wedding and baby shower wish lists are still available publicly.

How to Purchase an Item From a Friend's Amazon Wish List or Registry

The value of these shared lists and registries is to ensure that the gift recipient receives what they need or want while eliminating duplicate gift-giving. To avoid duplication, shop from the list or the registry rather than using it as an ideas list that you fulfill from your account or through in-store purchasing at your local department store.

1. Choose a gift and select Add to Cart. Confirm your selection in the pop-up window by selecting Add to Cart again. Choose Proceed to Checkout.

2. Use the checkout feature like you normally would. If your friend associated a shipping address with the list or registry, select the address on the checkout page under Other addresses. Ship to this address only if you intend to have the gift delivered by Amazon.

   You can ship to your friend even if your friend didn't include an address on the list. If this is the case, enter the address yourself.

3. Select Gifting Options to add a message to the gift and remove price details from the receipt.

4. Confirm your payment information and select Place your order.

   If you're able to ship the package with the on-file shipping address, the item you purchaseis removed from their wish list when the order is complete. If you elect to have the gift shipped to you, it is not automatically removed from their list.

5. Your order is processed and shipped. You'll receive delivery updates about the package to your email, just as you would if you purchased an item for yourself. Your friend won't know about the package until it arrives.

   Some people use one generic list for their wishes and shopping. The owner of the list is free to purchase from the list. In those situations, Amazon suggests that someone might have purchased the item and will—if the person requests to know—reveal that the item was purchased.
