Prime Day Prep: Build a Wishlist That Wins Lightning Deals

Prime Day rewards the prepared. This guide shows how to build a high-velocity wishlist so you can grab the right deals before the timer runs out.

1) Create a Dedicated Prime Day List

  • Name it “Prime Day 2025.”
  • Add items from Amazon and beyond—Wishr supports links from any store.
  • Include sizes, colors, and must-have specs to avoid last-minute mistakes.

2) Set Buy Prices and Alternatives

  • Add your target price per item to curb impulse buys.
  • For each item, add 1–2 alternates from other brands or retailers.
  • Note accessories you’ll need (cables, cases) so you can catch bundles.
