Hey folks,

My mutual aid group is talking about setting up an Amazon wishlist, and I took the task and would really like to use literally anything but Amazon.

Recommendations based on experience? We’re focused on pop-up mealshares, so it would mostly be supplies to help with that, but we also give out toiletries and outdoor living supplies.

    I had the same question about a year ago and after trying out a few gift sites, settled on giftster.com.
    It provides everything the amazon wishlist did, but allows you to add items from anywhere on the internet without a fuss. It works well enough that I was able to convince my entire family to move to it, which is a real victory.

      Yeah, charity work is classic overconsumption. /s

    I can’t offer much in the way of experience - but I have at least wanted to replace Amazon wishlist functionality. I’ve never gotten around to making the jump, so I can’t really say that I personally recommend any of these.

    But when I was looking around, these are 3 options that seemed promising at surface level:

    I’d be curious to know how it goes, so I hope at some point you update the thread with what works for you.
