You'd have to make a table in your database to hold all of the wish list data which would then reference a users table of some kind. As far as I know that's the only way I can think of doing it :)
Also this link might help also since you were asking about storing session data into a database. Best of luck! :D http://shiflett.org/articles/storing-sessions-in-a-database

Hope that helps a little more!
