Online Wish Lists: Get the Gift You Want

by Carley Knobloch on February 9th, 2011 | No Comments »

You’ve heard the saying “it’s the thought that counts,” but have you ever gotten one that leaves you wondering “What were they thinking?” When it comes to gift ideas for your Baby Shower, Wedding Registry, or most importantly, Valentine’s Day, forget subtle hints— try Wishpot.com (www.wishpot.com).

Create an online wish list that, with the push of a button, automatically adds anything and everything you desperately want right to your personal wish list. Then share the items you’ve been lusting after, with your husband, friends, co-workers, and especially your mother-in-law who inexplicably believes you collect frog figurines. So now, in spite of what Mr. Jagger might profess, “You CAN always get what you want!”

One of the best gifts that you could give to an expecting mom is one of those Monogrammed backpack diaper bags with the initials of the baby.

I don't know about you but my husband is always stumped when it comes to finding me the perfect Valentine's Day Gift. I try dropping hints, but it never works. This year, I decided to use a website that solves the problem. It's called Wishpot, and it is the perfect way to create a personal wish list to share with others, whether it's for a birthday, a baby registry, or for valentines day. Just sign up for your free account at Wishpot.com. I love their special feature that allows you to add the wishpot button to your toolbar with a simple drag and drop. Then anytime and anywhere you are browsing on the internet you hit the "WishPot" button and that item is magically added to your online wish list!

Remember, sign up for your free wishpot account, add the wishpot button to your toolbar, find things you love and save it to your wishlist, share it, then feign surprise when you get exactly what you want. "Honey, it's beautiful. How did you know?"
