Your friends and Family can then see what has been bought and buy another gift from your list.

You cannot see what your friends and family have purchased from your own account, nor can your friends and family see who has bought what for who. Your friends and family can only see what gifts have already been purchased from your list.

Remember, that in order to view this information that your friends and family must first register to see your list. They should also remember to mark which gifts they have purchased .

You can then select which Friends and Family can see those items.

Yes, of course, but be careful. You can certainly delete an item that you have just added and long before you are due to receive any gifts.

If you are writing the URL manually then you should use http://www.amazon.com rather than www.amazon.com or amazon.com
