Your Amazon wish list link is easy to find and easy to share — but before you paste it anywhere public, it's worth knowing what people can see when they click it, and one recent change about delivery addresses that catches a lot of people off guard.
How to find your Amazon wish list link
On the phone app
- Open the Amazon app and tap the account/menu icon.
- Choose Your Lists (on some versions it's under Wish List).
- Open the list you want to share and tap Invite or Send this list to a friend.
- Copy the link it generates, or share it straight into a text or DM.
On a computer
- Go to amazon.com and open Accounts & Lists at the top right.
- Pick Your Lists, then the list you want.
- Under the list name, set visibility to Public if you want anyone with the link to open it.
- Copy the address bar — list links look like
amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/…— or use Send this list to a friend.
What people can see when they click
- A public list can be opened by anyone holding the link. They see the items, prices and availability — and your list name, which is often your real name.
- A private list can't be opened by a link at all; only people you invite on Amazon see it.
- Item-level links are usually better than the whole list. Sending one product link gets you the thing you wanted. Sending the whole list gets you the cheapest thing on it, bought by whoever was in a hurry.
The delivery-address change worth knowing
When someone buys something off your list and it ships, the seller needs a delivery address — that part is normal. What changed is how much of that flows through third-party sellers and order tracking: for items sold and shipped by outside sellers, the address can end up visible in places you didn't intend, and order tracking can show the buyer where it went. If you keep a list pointed at your home, that's the address that travels.
The practical fix, if you want to keep using Amazon lists:
- Set the list's delivery address to somewhere that isn't your home — a workplace, a friend's place, a pickup point, or a mail-forwarding address you control.
- Keep the list private and share specific items rather than the whole list.
- For anything you'd rather not have shipped to you at all, take the money instead and buy it yourself. That's not a compromise — it's how most people handle a gift from someone they don't know well.
Assume the link outlives the birthday. Anyone who finds it can see your name and everything you added, including the thing you added six months ago and forgot about. Curate it, or use per-item links instead.
A cleaner way to share what you want
The awkward parts of an Amazon list — the address exposure, the whole-list dump, the "please don't buy the $6 thing" — are exactly what a wishlist built for gifting avoids. On GetSpoiled, every item you add gets its own choice:
- Ship via my Amazon Wish List — the person giving buys it directly on Amazon themselves, and nothing about your address comes through us.
- Receive as Gift Funds — they pay the item's value plus our service fee, and the money lands in your own payment account to spend on that item your way. No Amazon link is shown to them, nothing ships, no address exists in the transaction.
Your public page shows only your name, your photo, your birthday month and day, and the items you've posted. No address, no messaging, no way for a stranger to reach you outside the gift itself.
Want the address question gone entirely? Post your wishlist and set the choice per item. If you're the one giving, how it works walks through what you'll see at checkout — and this guide covers building a list people actually buy from.
