If you want to surprise a family member or friend with a gift you’re sure they’ll like, you can find their Amazon wish list and buy them something they have already added on the list.
It’s actually easy to find someone’s wish list on Amazon provided they have set it to public and shared it with you. You can’t access someone’s wish list if they have set it to private, unfortunately.
While in the past you could search for Amazon wish lists by names and emails, that method doesn’t work now. Amazon has removed the public search for wish lists, so you need to request access for personal wish lists. Wedding and baby shower wish lists are still available publicly.
