Quick Tip: Turn off Amazon Wishlist Spoilers

While talking to my mother, whom I sent my Amazon Wishlist to for gift ideas, she told me to not check Amazon until Christmas because she bought stuff off of my list and didn’t want me to see what she got. Luckily, Amazon has thought of this, and there is a really simple way to make sure that you don’t see when people buy things off your list.

  1. Go to your Amazon Wish List.
  2. In the List Actions drop-down (towards the top of the list, on the right), click Update list profile.
  3. Check  “Don’t spoil my surprises.”
  4. Click Save.

That’s it! You can now view your list without worry of spoilers.
