Yesterday, we detailed the use of online wish lists in organizing and sharing Christmas/holiday gift lists. The article 51 Days Until Christmas – What’s On Your Wish List was a popular one and we received some great feedback from a few of our readers, so I decided to dig deeper and reveal some additional information that might be helpful for you all.
I began testing the different online wish list services yesterday afternoon and through much of the morning. On each of the 5 sites we mentioned yesterday, I created a profile and added gifts to my list. I also took the time to search and view the lists of other users, so I could get a feel for things from both sides of the fence. All of the sites I reviewed were functional and easy-to-use, but I realized that each user might be looking for some very specific things out of a service like this. I analyzed each site and compared them to put together a list of features that I found important. Below are my findings.
