Amazon's Universal Wishlist

This is the greatest thing I have found on the internet.  I am a huge buyer on Amazon.com.  You can find anything there, its almost like ebay but without the bidding, just buy it.  Well, with the holidays coming, I know in just a few short months, they will start asking for gift ideas, and I'm horrible at making a list of wants.... sadly, in years past, I have asked for things that I needed, but more in a standby mode.  Like baking goods, spices, things of that nature.  Sure I could buy them myself but never did, because it was always easier to bake at my Grannies.. but now that I have a small son, its easier to bake at my home, and not have to cart him on a day long journey to Grannies.


Getting to the point...
I was "window shopping" on Amazon, and click, add to wishlist, so I did, but then a little program pops up and asks if I would like to download the Universal Wishlist, and as I read, this is where it gets great.  Lets say you find scrapbooking paper that you really want, but its not really on your list of must haves, but would make a great gift for someone to buy you.  Once you download, the little icon is stored in your web browser bar, and you just click it, and add it to your wish list.  It doesn't have to be even on Amazon.com's website, it can be any website.

And you can set up multiple lists, so I added one for my son, he's only three, but if there are books that I think he will like, I have been adding them to his wishlist, so that when Christmas comes, and my family asks, I can just email them our wishlists, and it will give them websites, prices, etc,

So, if you see Euro Sham pillows, that is mine, and i would like two LOL
