The History of Wishlists: How We Got from Letters to Santa to Online Services. AI-Generated.

Today, a wishlist usually looks like a neat set of cards with links, prices, and short notes. You can send it in one message, and your friends can simply pick something without worrying that the gift will miss the mark. That’s why wishlists often feel like a product of the marketplace era - something that appeared alongside “Add to favorites” buttons and online shopping carts. But the idea itself is much older. A wishlist is less about “a list” and more about an agreement: what I like, what I need, what would genuinely make me happy - and how to save other people from guessing.
