A universal wishlist is a single wishlist for things from every store, not just one retailer. Here's how to set one up so everything you want lives in one place and is easy to share.

Most store wishlists only work on that store's website, so the things you want end up scattered across a dozen accounts, browser bookmarks and screenshots. A universal wishlist keeps them together, which makes it easier to compare, to remember what you saved, and to send one link when someone asks what you want.
Store wishlists only hold that store's products. A universal wishlist app like Sortd saves products from almost any online store into one account.
Install the Sortd Chrome extension on your computer, and the Sortd iPhone app with its Safari extension on your phone, so you can save from wherever you shop.
When you find something you like, click the extension, share the page to Sortd, or paste the link into the app. Sortd keeps the photo, store and price.
Split things up in a way that suits you: a birthday list, a home list, a Christmas list. Each list stays private until you share it.
Send a list's link to anyone. They can see everything on it without an account, whichever stores the items come from.
Sortd lets you know when a saved item goes on sale, so you can wait for the right price without checking every store.
