Christmast wish list(s)

While investigating and researching what should be on every Magpie's Christmas list this year (provided she's on the nice, not naughty, side of Santa), I've come to realize there are many list-making-machines available for perusal and usage--no matter what your list contains.

So, before my Christmas wish list makes its debut, I will create a wishlist of wishlists. (How you like that?)

1. Neiman Marcus. The fact that their annual wishlist catalog is mailed all over the world should be an indicator of the caliber of not only the taste but the wish-level of those who receive. However, for those of us who are not part of the INCIRCLE, we can still enjoy the Neiman's wishlist creator. It's easy to register, easy to create, and easy for others to find.

2. Amazon.com. Although shiny and sparkly are the penultimate for this gal, I do enjoy a book or two (especially when about my favorite topic!). One of the perks of the Amazon.com wishlist is that as you begin to add your favorites books or movies, a list of suggestions appears. If anything looks interesting, you can add them to your wishlist, too. (Don't forget, Amazon isn't just books, movies, and music anymore--it's a little bit of everything!)

3. My Christmas Wishlist. If the things you'd like to find under the tree are found in multiple locations on the internet, My Christmas Wishlist is the site for you. Rather than shopping around on one website and adding things to your bin, MCW asks that you provide the name, description, and URL of your desired. You share your wishlists by getting your friends/family to join the site and creating a group. The intricacy of this site will only be appreciated by the shopper with lots of time to shop around. However, this list would be a great site for Secret Santas, offices, or carpool moms to gather everyone together.

4. Your List Online. The Your List Online creator is very user friendly and allows access to thousands of websites, without having to drag information back with you (although you can insert your own URLs, too). It also allows your list to be tweaked and content changed for life events like birthdays and weddings. YLO allows for people to search for your list without having to register for the site--which people (like my parents) would consider a perk.

5. Froogle @ Google. Obviously, with the power of this search engine at your mere fingertips Froogle.Google's shoppinglist is a great go-to for everything and anything purchaseable. Sharing capacities are as uncomplicated as clicking "add to" while surfing (and searching) the net.

6. Shoe Hunting. Yes, this is TOTALLY a targeted website. But Magpie likey. So the wishlist creator at Shoe Hunting gets a shoutout! This website tracks shoes all over the internet, brings them to you, allows you multiple views, and even lets you comparison shop (by price, too!). Especially the links to recent blogs that have similar labels to those you are searching for.

Happy wishlisting! May you receive everything (or anything) that is on your list!
