Try this,

<?php
    $wishlist = Mage::getModel('wishlist/wishlist')->load($wishlist_id);
    $items = Mage::getResourceModel('wishlist/item_collection')->addWishlistFilter($wishlist);
    foreach ($items as $item){
        $options = $this->helper('catalog/product_configuration')->getOptions($item); 
        print_r($options);
    }
?>
