Amazon Wishlist Alternative?
-
Hey folks,
My mutual aid group is talking about setting up an Amazon wishlist, and I took the task and would really like to use literally anything but Amazon.
Recommendations based on experience? We're focused on pop-up mealshares, so it would mostly be supplies to help with that, but we also give out toiletries and outdoor living supplies.

I can't offer much in the way of experience - but I have at least wanted to replace Amazon wishlist functionality. I've never gotten around to making the jump, so I can't really say that I personally recommend any of these.
But when I was looking around, these are 3 options that seemed promising at surface level:
I'd be curious to know how it goes, so I hope at some point you update the thread with what works for you.

I had the same question about a year ago and after trying out a few gift sites, settled on giftster.com.
It provides everything the amazon wishlist did, but allows you to add items from anywhere on the internet without a fuss. It works well enough that I was able to convince my entire family to move to it, which is a real victory. -

Another note: any time there's a piece of software that you like, but don't want to use it (because it's proprietary, missing features, or whatever reason), alternativeto.net is an incredibly useful resource.
Here's their list of apps with a wishlist feature: https://alternativeto.net/feature/wishlist/
Usually a great starting point.

I use Things to Get Me. It was the most privacy focused one I could find and does everything I need it to.
