Does anyone know a free chrome extension that lets you generate a link to an Amazon cart with specific items already in it? I feel so dumb asking this because it probably sounds easy but I am trying to help my aunt out with her birthday shopping and she is not tech savvy at all. Like she barely knows how to use her mouse so sending her ten different links to click on is going to be a total disaster for her.
I am trying to get this done by Friday before she goes on vacation. I looked at some stuff called Share-a-Cart but I wasnt sure if it costs money or if there are better ones out there that people trust more. I just want something where I can add a bunch of stuff like:
- a small blender
- some blue towels
- a metal toaster
I just want to send her one single link so she can click it and have everything show up in her cart ready to go. Do these things actually work? I dont want to accidentally give her a virus or mess up her computer since I have no idea how these browser add-on things even get installed. I am totally new to using anything other than just regular Google. Is there a simple way to do this without being a computer genius? I just dont want to make it harder for her...

Like someone mentioned, Wish Lists can be messy for folks who dont use computers much. In my experience, sticking to a simple, free tool is way safer. I always use amazon cart share because it handles the links without all the bugs or privacy scares. Its definitely the most budget-friendly way to get the job done without making things hard for her.

Unfortunately I have had issues with Share-a-Cart lately and it is not as good as I expected. It feels buggy and someone told me it has privacy quirks IIRC. For your aunt, maybe skip extensions since they break constantly.
- Use a shared Amazon Wish List
- Try this tool instead Not 100% sure if that is easier for her, but extensions are often more trouble than they are worth imo.

I have been using Share-a-Cart for a few years now and honestly I am pretty satisfied with how it handles these exact situations. It is totally free and really straightforward once you get the hang of it. I use it to prep shopping lists for my parents so they dont get overwhelmed with a million separate tabs open. Basically, here is how you do it:
- Install the extension from the Chrome Web Store
- Add that blender, the blue towels, and the toaster to your own cart first
- Click the extension icon and hit the button to create a cart code
- Copy the link it gives you and send it to her She clicks it and everything just pops into her cart. Its way safer than it sounds and I have never had any issues with security or weird stuff. It makes things way less stressful for non-techy relatives.
