Wishlists
What to write in your wishlist notes
Write the detail you are most likely to forget. A size, a measurement or the reason you saved something is usually more helpful than repeating its product description.
Name the version
Links do not always keep the colour or size you selected. Put those details in the note so you do not have to guess later.
For clothes: “Navy, medium. Compare the measurements with my blue jacket.” For a book: “Paperback edition, not the audiobook.”
Record what needs checking
Some decisions depend on information you do not have yet. Write the question down beside the item.
For a shelf: “Check the width of the space beside the desk.” For a lamp: “Need to check whether the bulb is included.” A specific question is easier to act on than “Research this”.
Keep the reason you liked it
Two similar items can be hard to tell apart after a few weeks. A short reason helps you compare them.
“Small enough for the hallway” or “Has a washable cover” can be enough. If you are saving an article instead of a product, try “The section on lighting is useful for the desk”.
Leave out what the title already says
If the item is called “Digital kitchen scales”, the note does not need to say that again. Use the space for something the title cannot tell you.
One or two sentences are often enough. You can edit the note later when you learn more or change your mind.
Read your notes before sharing
In Fancies, the full notes on active items are visible to anyone with your shared link. Remove personal details you do not want other people to see before sharing the list.
Keep the list private if the notes are only for you. You can still use titles, images and notes without sharing anything.
