Goodbye, 2022; you have been a good year.
You gave us two more holidays: on 3 June, the Platinum Jubilee Bank Holiday and on 19 September, the Bank Holiday for the State Funeral of Queen Elizabeth II.

Amazon provides a universal wishlist, i.e. you can create one or more wishlists where you can place products from any site.
