Kaboodle's wish list is unique because it allows people to shop online and add items to their lists from any online retail store. Kaboodle also offers a comprehensive set of features to manage and share wish lists. For each item, users can designate the quantity desired, priority and the size and color of the item they desire. Lists can be sorted by date added, priority, or store. Lists can be shared with just family and friends or with everyone.

In addition to sharing lists with family and friends, lists can be shared through widgets and posted to a blog or social networking profile, making it even easier to let others know what's on a wish list. Friends and family can purchase wish list items from any retailer or print an entire list for easy in-store shopping. For those looking for additional gift options, Kaboodle now offers a gift guide to kick start gift selections to help find the perfect gift by age, gender, personality, or price.
