Make a Christmas
wish list
We've all heard of bridal registries. Now the rest of us can create gift
lists, too. At sites like Wish.com,
you can shop for gifts you'd like and store them in a personal wish list.
There's no commitment to buy, so feel free to stuff it with goodies from
stores including Barnes and Noble, KB Kids and Fogdog Sports. The site
e-mails your picks to family and friends. Plenty of Web stores, including
Amazon, Victoria's Secret and eToys, also have registries on their own
sites. More such services:
FindGift.com
Shop mainstream and homegrown retailers.
GiftMe.com Unique
gifts, and a wish list that lets you search by interests like "fashion"
or "pet lover."
StockGift.com Think
ahead: Instead of hoping for a PlayStation 2, why not register for stocks?
Wishbox.com
An easy-to-use interface for creating a wish list and stocking it with
goodies.
