We like to keep all kinds of lists; wish lists, checklists, lists of lists… you get the picture. In this roundup we will focus on services specializing in wish lists (things we want) and checklists (things we want to get done).

Using these 40 mobile and web-based tools you can keep track of daily tasks, build your reading list, organize your holiday gift giving, and more.

How do you manage wish lists and checklists?

Wish lists

Amazon - The grandaddy wish list keeper of them all now supports all other sites thanks to their universal wish list button.

WishPot - Has the most modern web 2.0 look and feel, as well as social networking features that let you share lists. Another strong feature is the ability to send ideas for gifts from your cell phone right to your wishpot account.

Wists - Another strong web 2.0 site with nice options to embed your wish lists on your blog or website.

MyFavz - One of the newest wish list sites. We recently covered it here on Mashable.

BoxedUP - Real time listing of new items added to wish lists is unique, but is it useful? The ability to show what you already bought and own is nice for youngsters who want to show off their stuff.

Wisheo - Specializes in group gifts, which sets the site apart from many of the others.

GiftBox Home - Similar to boxed up and the easiest to use, but its interface is not as slick as the other newcomers.

MyThings - Its unique feature is the ability to get ratings and feedback from others for any gift ideas you have.

My IT Things - Not to be confused with MyThings.com. It offers some nice widgets to show off your lists.
