📝 TL;DR: Organise your wishlist effectively by categorising items, setting priorities, and making informed decisions. Learn how to focus on must-haves while keeping track of nice-to-haves.

Why Prioritise Your Wishlist?

Wishlists can fill up fast, and it’s easy to get overwhelmed. Prioritising helps you focus on what’s most important, whether it’s essentials, long-term goals, or spontaneous treats. Here’s how to do it!

How to Prioritise Your Wishlist

1️⃣ Categorise Your Items

  • Group your wishlist into sections like Home, Fashion, Tech, and Travel to make sorting easier.

2️⃣ Use the Urgency Method

  • Label items as "Must-Have", "Nice-to-Have", or "Future Purchase" so you can focus on essentials first.

3️⃣ Set a Budget

  • Assign estimated prices and decide how much you’re willing to spend within a certain timeframe.

4️⃣ Leverage Basket’s Price Tracking

  • Turn on price tracking to monitor discounts and get alerts when your top picks drop in price. 📉💰

5️⃣ Review & Update Regularly

  • Wishlist priorities change! Check in monthly to remove items you no longer need and add new must-haves.
