I am so hyped right now because I finally moved into my own place in Austin and I have a dedicated room for my gaming setup for the first time ever!! My birthday is coming up in two weeks and my family keeps bugging me for a list because they want to go in on a big group gift or something like that. I have been scouring the Best Buy site for like three days straight and I have found two main paths I am thinking about.
Option one is the LG UltraGear 32 inch monitor which is like 400 bucks and then maybe a SteelSeries keyboard and a decent mouse. Option two is going all in on a Sony soundbar and some Hue smart lighting for the whole room since I already have a decent screen but it is kinda old and small. My total budget limit that I am tellin people is around 1200 since there are a few of them chipping in together.
The problem is I am literally struggling with the best way to show them exactly what I want without it being a huge mess. I tried making a Best Buy account and adding stuff to a list but I cant see a clear button to just blast it out to my sisters or post it on my private story for my friends to see. I was looking at maybe just making a Google Doc with the links but that feels so clunky and I dont want them to buy the same thing twice if they dont talk to each other. Then I saw some people use those registry sites but I really want to keep it simple and just use Best Buy since I have the membership and the points there are actually worth it for me.
I am leaning toward the monitor setup because my current one has this weird flicker but the smart home stuff is so tempting too... honestly I just need to get the list out of my head and into their hands lol. Does anybody know if there is a way to actually share a Best Buy wishlist directly through email or social media where it stays updated? Or do I have to just copy paste individual links like a caveman... how do I actually send the link so they can see it?

To add to the point above: I have been pretty satisfied just using the native share feature once it is set to public. It is a reliable way to make sure they see the exact models you want without mistakes or broken links. TL;DR: Toggle the list to shared and just copy the link from your browser. Actually, I just use Share Product for this—it's way easier than having ten different tabs open for every store.

Congrats on the new place, that is so exciting! Actually did this exact thing for my gaming cave last year and it was awesome. Yes, you can share the link directly, but watch out! You have to manually switch the list setting from private to shared first. If you dont, your family just gets a broken error page. Super annoying. Definitely test the link in an incognito tab before blasting it out.
