Get Your Christmas List Ready!

Santa is coming soon! I came across this cool web site that allows you to build your own custom wish lists. Basically you add links to different items you might want to receive as gifts. You can build different lists for different occasions. People can reserve items and let other people know you are buying that by leaving comments. It's also good for keeping track of things you don't want to buy for yourself right now, but might want to buy at a later date.

Lists can be hidden from the public if you so please. I set up a list for gifts for the family and made it private. That way Shelly can't see what she's getting. :) Although I'll let everyone in on a little secret. She's getting coal. Like normal. ;)

The site is relatively new. There are some little improvements that could be made to make things a little better. Some of the formatting is a little weird. For example, it will only capitalize the first letter of anything typed in a field instead of what you actually keyed in. It's also not easy to transfer an item to another list. You basically have to add it again and delete the old one. It would be neat if they could devise some way to flag an item as being purchased by someone without the person that owns the list being able to tell. If someone leaves a comment, it wouldn't be too hard for the list holder to figure out what they are getting.

Overall, however, I think the idea is very cool. Wish Lists can easily be imported from Amazon. The service is free and well worth checking out. HERE is a sample of what mine looks like. Two of the lists are hidden and are not visible without me giving you permission to see it.
