MasterWish is a site dedicated to getting users what they want. Through the site www.masterwish.com users can create wish lists for any occasion. The lists can contain any items from any website or store. Once created, users can share their lists with all their friends.

MasterWish.com was founded in 2005. This young company began with three friends talking about their frustrations with on-line shopping and what to buy their significant others for Christmas. A quick check for availability of www.masterwish.com, and the site was born.

The ultimate goal of MasterWish is to make shopping easier for you. How do we do this? By making it easier for you to find and organize what you want, by allowing you to share your wishes with the people of your choosing, and by continually looking for ways to improve your shopping experience, both online and off. Of course since it is better to give than to receive, you can search for your friends lists and buy them what they wish for.

At MasterWish we are committed to giving you the choice of where to purchase your items. Although we do have a relationship with some popular online retailers, the choice is yours. For your convenience we will provide a link to search Amazon.com if no URL is provided for an item, however we do intend to influence your choice of vendor.

We also do not control the price of items listed on MasterWish in any way. If the price of an item on a MasterWish list does not match the current retail price it is likely that the price has changed since the item was put on the list, or the price was entered incorrectly by the list owner.

MasterWish users start by creating an account. With account in hand users are ready to add items. Any item can be added to MasterWish. A user could add their favorite movies from Amazon, the clothes they want from L.L. Bean, and the Rubik's Cube they would like from wherever you can find it. Many users get a jump-start by importing their Amazon wish lists.

Once a user has added some items they want, anyone in the world can see their 'Master List', the list of all the items they want. Now that this initial list is created, most users will want to organize their items in to other lists such as movies, books, birthday lists or household lists. Any item can be in as many lists as the user wants to include them in.

With items neatly organized in lists users can choose to share their lists with everyone, friends, family or just keep them to themselves. Many users choose to restrict the viewing of their masterlist to just themselves then share their items only through their other lists.

Having a list is great, but getting stuff is better. Hopefully your friends will help you out here. When someone buys an item from a MasterWish list they mark the item as purchased with the date they intend to give the gift. The user does not hear anything until the day after they were supposed to receive the gift, but the item will be locked so other users cannot see or purchase the item for them.

The day after the item was supposed to be given to the MasterWish user the user will be notified of purchase to make sure it is safe to take it off their list. Through this process we hope to help you share what you want with who you want it from, regardless of where it comes from.
