How can I share my Best Buy wishlist with my family?

Question

I am trying to get my birthday list sorted for next month and my family keeps asking what I want but honestly Best Buys website is driving me crazy right now. Ive been using their site for years to grab tech and components for my builds and I thought I knew my way around the UI but for some reason I cant find a simple share link for my wishlist. I have about 12 items saved including that new Philips Hue starter kit and a mesh router system because our wifi in the basement is basically dead.

Here is what I need to happen:

I need to send a link to my parents and sister without them having to log in to see it

It needs to update in real time if I add something else later this week

I dont want them to have to deal with a registry setup if I can help it because thats way too formal for a birthday

I tried looking in the account settings and the app but the only options I see are to add to cart or move to another list. Am I totally missing a public toggle somewhere? I know Amazon has that big share button but Best Buy seems to keep it hidden or maybe they removed the feature? Its getting close to the date and I really want to make sure they dont accidentally buy the wrong model of the Sony headphones I was looking at... any ideas how to get a direct URL or a shareable invite sent out?

Stumbled on this thread today and yeah, the situation with Best Buy lists is pretty disappointing lately. Like someone mentioned, they really stripped back the social features. Before I give you my usual workaround, are you using the mobile app or a desktop browser for this? The UI behaves differently on each and that might change how we approach it. Unfortunately, they removed the direct public toggle, which makes sharing those Sony headphones or the mesh system way harder than it should be. Since you need real-time updates without a login, your best bets are:Creating a shared document with the direct product URLs.Using a universal wishlist service that can pull the metadata from BB pages.Exporting the list as a PDF, tho that wont update in real time. Its really not as good as expected from a major tech retailer. Have you tried Share Product? It's a free extension that makes sharing product links super simple.

I struggled with this for my last build too. Honestly, using ebay wishlist maker is way better for sharing.BB: no public link3rd party: easy syncing It works well now.
