For years, I have kept an Amazon wish list. More for my own benefit, like if I
research something I can just add it there and not have to keep 100 bookmarks,
than for anything else. But as I
get older, I wish people would have them and use them. I know it seems thoughtless, but you
can get ideas from them. And you
get a person something they actually want, rather than something they are just
going to re-gift or give away in a few years time.
Also, for the past couple of years, Amazon has had the
universal wish list button. You
just install it and you can add anything from any website to your Amazon wish
list. I’ve added stuff from etsy,
ebay, Bed Bath and Beyond and many other stores. It just seems like a convenient place to keep a list of the
things you would like to have one day.
Some people argue that this is materialistic and damaging to
your mental health. I guess it’s
just how you look at it. I don’t
look at mine as a list of things I don’t have. I use it as a list of things that I potentially want, have
researched, and don’t want to or can’t buy quite yet, but they are there if I
want to easily access them, rather than having to remember what I was looking
for to begin with.
Today I even did a little Wish List upkeep. I deleted over 50 things that I thought
I was interested in or that I use to be interested in, but am no longer. It kind of felt good and helped me to
redirect and focus on what I am interested in. After deleting more than half of my Wish List, I added a few
things that are more directed towards my current goals and wishes.
So I encourage you to make a Wish List. If anything I can stalk you and see
what you like or would like to have.
It’s kind of fun, you can learn a lot about a person. And it will also make it easier for
people to buy you things!
