My entire list:

Person B (good friend/colleague) and her fiancee: $100 Amazon Gift Card
Person C (good friend, former lover): $100 Amazon Gift Card
Person D (good friend with insane politics): "Government Bullies: How Everyday Americans Are Being Harassed, Abused, and Imprisoned by the Feds" by Rand Paul and "The Revolution: A Manifesto" by Ron Paul
Person E (good friend in desperate need of bathing regularly): 3 of these
Person F (stereotypically very angry friend who really needs to move out of his parents house and get laid): "Changing Your Game: A Man's Guide to Success with Women" by Christie Hartman and "Anger Management for Everyone: Seven Proven Ways to Control Anger and Live a Happier Life" by Raymond Chip Tafrate
Person G (friend) and his fiancee: Matching Superman and Wonder Woman snuggies.So I guess I'm somewhat of a massive dick?

A massive dick with $300 credit on Amazon. Don't forget that.

Given how god damned prolific both of them appear to be (OH GOD AMAZON IS GOING TO BE TRYING TO SELL ME PROPAGANDA FOREVER) I assume they share a pool of ghost writers.

login, then click delete this item
voila. no more recommendations based on that item!
you're welcome.

Does it delete the item from Amazon or is that button mislabeled?

deletes it from your browsing history.
handy if your friend borrows your computer and browses for all sorts of intimate products to embarass you the next time you absentmindedly amazon something in front of others.
there's a reason Dave can no longer borrow any of my things.....

"Friend" browses intimate items and embarasses you the next time you absentmindedly Amazon in front of others? I do enough of that on my own.

there's areason i have two separate amazon accounts.... ;-)

Having to maintain two prime subscriptions is prohibitively expensive. Free 2-day shipping is a vital human right.

I make a point of pushing ^⇑N every time I'm letting someone use my browser.

DO NOT QUESTION MODERN CONSUMERISM.
In related news, I really, really, desperately, tried to figure out some reason to order this:

the secondary is a houshold member:
https://smile.amazon.com/gp/primecentralgets the prime shipping but no other benefits of prime.
whatever the primary has all the prime benefits.

Obviously this is for orgies or the filming of porn videos.

A friend and I exclusively use Twitter for tweeting odd finds on Amazon to each other. Amazingly, he has never sent this link to me.

FFTFY

Ding-ding!
Plus, you can share with up to four or five household members.

Compared to who? I didn't buy anyone anything and never have.

Gift cards are much less scammy these days, thanks to enhanced regulation. Seriously, that was written in 2007. The fargin economy hadn't even hit the iceberg.
-
There are still other issues with them, such as the fact that they show that you didn't give much thought to the gift.
-
They can be used like that. In this instance, however, it's a carefully planned "I know your situation is very fluid, so here, use a portion of my wealth to augment your own".

Sometimes, it's better to give a gift card (or cash) than it is to try to buy a gift for someone yourself -- this is often true when giving gifts in the vein of someone's profession (or even serious hobby, in some cases).

Are they going to give you anything for Christmas?
What if they give you a $100 Amazon gift card? If they do, what's the point?
What if they give you a $100 Victoria's Secret gift card?
Has anyone else ever wondered what Victoria's Secret is? What is she hiding?
I think [spoiler]it's that she's a man[/spoiler].
I had to go search for how to do spoiler tags. There's very limited selection on the edit window toolbar. I think it wouldn't let me copy-paste the first

, either. I'm starting to have a bad day.

I think that's a bit unfair... more likely they show that you haven't kept up with every possession they own! I've literally thousands of books, movies, TV shows and vidya games. I pity the poor bastards that try to buy me gifts. A voucher is easier for them, and happier for me (cos it means I don't have to pretend the dupe gift they got me is new and special :P )

I have got a Shift key, but it looks like it's got a little house on it. I thought that's where all the big letters live...
