Collaborative Wishlists offer a group planning feature for educational teams, schools, school activities, sports teams gear, and district grant offices. With personalized Wishlists any invited group member can save a product (i.e. ergonomic chair) or classroom resource (i.e. STEAM Education book). Lists can be designated as “Public” or “Private.”
