I am literally so annoyed right now because I have spent the last two hours picking out stuff for my sisters baby shower gift basket and now that I have everything in my cart I realized there is no way to just send the link to my mom so she can see if I missed anything or if she wants to chip in. I have like 25 items in there from diapers to this specific organic swaddle thing she wants and the total is around 320 dollars which is a lot for me to cover alone right now.
I tried to just copy the url from my browser but it just goes to an empty cart when she opens it on her phone which is just so stupid? Like why is this so hard? I dont want to make a public registry because she already has one and these are just the extra bits our family is doing together. Honestly fed up with how many hoops I have to jump through just to show someone what I am about to buy. I have a deadline of Friday to get this ordered so it arrives in time for the weekend and I am panicking a little bit because I dont want to spend another hour making a wishlist and re-adding every single tiny item one by one. Is there some kind of workaround or a button I am missing to just share the actual cart contents via a link?

I had the exact same issue last Christmas when my siblings and I were splitting gifts for our parents. Amazon makes it surprisingly hard to do this. I ended up using the Share-a-Cart browser extension and I have no complaints. It works well and saves so much time. Basically, it generates a code and a link that you can text or email to your mom. When she clicks it, all the items load right into her own Amazon cart. Here is how I usually do it:
- Install the Share-a-Cart extension on Chrome or whatever browser you use.
- Open your Amazon cart with all your baby shower items.
- Click the extension button and it will create a unique link.
- Send that link to your mom, and she can add everything to her cart in one click. I have been very satisfied with it because it is completely free and you dont have to recreate your whole list. It saved me hours of annoying copy-pasting. Just get the Share-a-Cart extension, you cant go wrong.
