Random Acts of Amazon: An Out-of-This-World Experience

Some people feel the world is too materialistic, but it is hard to deny that you can learn a lot about how people live by the things that they buy. We're a community built around that idea - put together a wishlist, share it, and make friends!

#Quick Notes

Don't gift people who post sob stories! It goes against what we're about, and most are lying!
Posts with links to Amazon items often get caught in the spam filter. Message the mods if your post doesn't show up.
Accounts must be at least 30 days old, have a verified email address, and be currently active on non-gifting subs before joining us.

#Founding Principles

No Begging! Sharing wishlists is the central idea of our community, and with that comes the potential for random acts to brighten someone's day. The key word here is random - you should not come expecting to be gifted, and asking for gifts is unwelcome. This is not a place to beg for gifts.
No Explicit Content or Offers! Trying to tip the scales of generosity in your favor with promises of sexual favors is frowned upon here. There are plenty of other places for that.
Be Excellent To Each other! Be respectful and courteous. If you don't have something nice to say, don't say anything at all. Please keep posts and comments PG. Trolls will not be tolerated. Please message the mods if you see something problematic.

How To Add Your Wishlist to Your Flair

(These instructions work best on PC rather than mobile.)

When you're looking at your wishlist on Amazon, click the "send list to others" button and then the "view only" button. Lastly, click the "copy link" button, and then your link is copied, now you paste it into your flair.

In old Reddit, on PC, there is a right hand side bar. Above the "Quick Notes" section, you will see your username. Next to your username is your flair if your already have one. If you don't have a flair, next to your user name is a hyperlink titles "(edit)" Click that, paste your link into the box, click "save" and you are done!

New Reddit users: visit the sub, and in the right hand side click to expand community options and you'll be able to modify your flair. screenshot to help clarify https://ibb.co/M9cL8vm
