You don't want to send your friends and family a lengthy Christmas wish list email full of links and notes about sizes right? You do want to steer them in the right direction though. Especially if they are asking for hints.
I found this great site a few years ago called The Things I Want. You can make a bunch of lists each with their own links and notes.
My favorite part is that you can have many links to different online stores. I love my Etsy favorites but it's only good for things on Etsy. Same with Amazon or Target or other popular stores with wish lists.
Just add a link to your browser bar and when you find something you like you click on the button and a little box pops up asking for more details and which list to add it to. Very easy.
When you are done you can send an email or individual links to lists. Your friends and family can just click through to buy. Love it!
