Add Items Anytime

March 5th, 2006

Did you know with the special MasterWish favelet you can add items from your browser anytime you want without leaving the website you’re browsing?

That’s right! Just follow the instructions to add the [Wish for This] bookmark and you’re ready to go.

Now anytime you’re at your favorite shopping site and you think “I really want one of these!” you can click on the [Wish for This] bookmark and you’ll get a MasterWish Add Item window. The bookmark tries to gather as much information about the item as possible but you may want to fill in more, add it to a specific list, or at least mark how much you want it.

Give it a whirl! The download page has instructions for setting up the bookmark in all major browsers. Happy shopping!
