Amazon’s Best of 2010

Amazon.com complied its lists of Bestselling Products, Most Wished for Products, and Most Popular Gift Products for 2010. From a quick glance, it looks like there are only two items that are on all three lists – Vulli Sophie the Giraffe Teether and the WiFi Kindle.

And there are some funny differences in what’s wished for and what’s gifted, like people wish for music from Taylor Swift but are gifted Susan Boyle instead. You want the eBook of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo but get George W. Bush. You want an Apple MacBook Pro 13-in but get a Toshiba Satellite 15-in laptop. Women want UGG short boots that range from $100-140 but are given Bearpaw Eva boots that cost $47-60.
