As Chief Mom Officer for Wishpot.com's Baby channel I talk a lot about baby registries and birthday wish lists.  However, with the holiday season coming up fast I wanted to share with you how I'm personally going to use Wishpot this year.

Did you know that you can create gift lists that only you can see?  As you're surfing the web, you can add products and services to your Wishpot and assign them to different people on your holiday gift list.  So, rather than a wish list for you, it's a wishlist for your family friends.

Plus, with the recently added Deal Alerts feature on Wishpot you can set alerts on each item in your gift list Wishpot as either a percentage discount or a price match.  For example, if you want to get your husband that flat panel television this year but only want to spend say $1500 but the one he wants is $1800 you can set a price match so that when it drops to $1500 you'll get an alert.

Using Wishpot to create your gift lists for family and friends is a great way to manage your gift budget too.  And with Deal Alerts, it's even easier.

Oh, and if you're on Wishpot and we're not friends yet, please connect! My Wishpot username is WishMom.
