Browse and Manage Favorites on Desktop
Using the desktop site gives you full control over your Amazon favorites, with advanced organizing options and quick access to details like availability and price history.
Access Your Favorites List
Sign in to your account, hover over Accounts & Lists, and select Your Lists. From there, click Favorites to view all items you have saved in one place.
Create and Edit Multiple Lists
You can create additional named lists to separate ideas, gifts, or projects. Each list can have its own title, description, and privacy setting, helping you keep related items organized.
Use Favorites on Mobile Devices
The Amazon mobile app is designed for quick saving and on-the-go shopping, with streamlined navigation and sync across devices to keep your lists up to date.
Save Items from the App
On a product page, tap the three-dot menu or heart icon to add the item to your Favorites. You can also create new lists directly in the app, which is useful while shopping in physical stores or on the go.
Sync and Notifications
Favorites sync in real time between web and mobile, so you never lose track of items. Enabling notifications for price drops or back-in-stock updates helps you act quickly on deals.
Leverage Favorites for Price Tracking and Alerts
Your saved items are not just a holding area; they power tools that help you monitor pricing and availability so you can time your purchases strategically.
Set Price Alerts
Open a saved product in your Favorites, choose Create Price Alert, and you will be notified when the price drops or a new coupon becomes available. This is especially useful for higher-cost electronics or seasonal items.
Monitor Stock Changes
Favorites include indicators for items that are frequently out of stock. When restocked notifications are enabled, you receive an alert as soon as the product is available again, reducing the chance of missing a sale.
Tips for Managing Favorites Effectively
Building a well-maintained favorites system saves time, reduces decision fatigue, and helps you spot opportunities as soon as they appear in the marketplace.
- Review and archive your favorites regularly to keep only items you genuinely plan to buy.
- Use separate lists for gifts, home projects, and personal wishlists to stay organized.
- Enable price and stock alerts for high-value or time-sensitive items.
- Check recommended items in your Favorites feed for complementary products and deals.
- Share specific lists with family or friends when planning group purchases or events.
