There's a good chance your kids, significant other, or anyone near your Amazon Echo can find out what you bought on Amazon for the holidays. They don't have to sneak on the computer or look under the bed. They can simply ask:

Alexa, where's my stuff?

By default, if you shipment notification turned on, the Amazon Echo will tell you what products are out for shipment, have been delivered, and which ones are getting ready to ship. This can be very helpful, for you. But, Alexa is not that loyal, she responds to anyone (who's not a child and doesn't have an accent).
