Amazon just added a new feature where you can shop on any site (like ours!) and add items to your Amazon wishlist. Of course you can always option to make a wish list solely on our site, but it can’t hurt to have it listed on Amazon as well (since people have the option to look up your list without you knowing). It’s a button you add to your browser which you can find here. They’re also having a $100, 000 sweepstakes with Mastercard (the link to that is on the page where you download the button).
