Wishlists
How to make a personal wishlist
A useful wishlist helps you remember what you liked and why. Start with one list, save enough detail to recognise each item, and review it when you are ready to make a choice.
Start with one list
You do not need to decide on a whole system before saving the first item. A list called “Things I like” is enough. If it becomes hard to scan, split it into a few familiar groups, such as books, home or a hobby.
Choose names that will make sense when you return in a month. “For the kitchen” is easier to remember than a clever name whose meaning you might forget.
Save the item page
Use the product page rather than a shop homepage or search results page. It gives you a better chance of finding the same item later.
In Fancies, create a list and choose Add item. Paste the link, review any details Fancies finds, and fill in anything missing. You can also save an idea with just a title if you have not found a specific product yet.
Write down the version you want
A product can come in several sizes, colours or materials. Add the version you liked to the note. For furniture or equipment, include any measurements you still need to check.
For example: “Green, medium. Check sleeve length before ordering.” That gives you a useful next step when you return, without turning the note into a long review.
Treat the price as a reminder
A saved price helps you compare ideas, but shops can change their prices. Delivery, tax and availability may also change. Reopen the product page before deciding to buy.
Leave the price blank if you are unsure. An item does not need a price to belong on your list.
Let the list change
Delete things you no longer want. In Fancies, mark an item purchased after buying it to move it into that list’s private archive. Mark it not purchased if you want to restore it.
You do not have to buy everything you save. The list can simply help you remember your options.
