Tip 01: Why online?

An old-fashioned wish list on paper has its charm, of course, but the search for a “red Magimix, the one with those five accessories” can cause some frustration for the buyer. Better is a digital wish list to which you can immediately add a link to a web store, a type and model number of a device or an isbn number of a book. Fortunately, there are dozens of online wish list services. Almost every major online store has a wish list feature, but there are also services that have databases of different stores in their system. The most well-known list services are non-Dutch, but there are also a number that focus specifically on Dutch stores. In this article, we'll cover the best options.
