How can I send my Amazon cart to someone else so they can review or purchase the same items? I’m trying to share a list of products with exact quantities, sizes, and colors, without copying each link individually. Is there a built-in “share cart” option, or a reliable workaround like lists? Any steps or tips appreciated. Thanks!
Hello, you can use Cart to link extension to share your Amazon Cart. Very easy to use:

Bump - same question here
Hey! I totally get your security concerns about logging into your aunt's computer. I've been there! Honestly, over the years, I've tried many ways to share carts, and while Amazon doesn't have a direct 'share cart' button (which is super annoying, BTW!), I've found creating a wishlist and then sharing *that* link is the safest bet.
Here's what I do: Create a new wishlist specifically for Grandma's birthday gifts. Add all the items from your cart *into* that wishlist. Then, you can share the wishlist with your aunt. She can then easily move the items from the wishlist to *her* cart and checkout with her Prime benefits.
It's a bit of a workaround, but it keeps your account safe and lets her handle the purchase! I think that's a good way to go...Hope this helps!
Hey! Instead of a straight cart share (which Amazon doesn't really do easily), have you considered creating a shareable wishlist? You can add everything to it, then send her the link. She can then move the items from the wishlist to *her* cart for checkout. It's a decent option and keeps things organized! Hope this helps!
Hey! So, I get wanting to save money. Have you looked at Amazon Warehouse deals for the gardening stuff? Sometimes they have stuff that's just in damaged packaging but the actual item is fine. You could build your cart, check Warehouse deals for each item, and then just tell your aunt the ASINs (Amazon Standard Identification Number) of the ones you want her to buy... it's like a product ID. She can then add them directly to *her* cart. Just a thought for saving some cash! Hope this helps!
Hey! Oh man, I totally get the gardening thing... and wanting to get the *right* stuff. My mom's a huge gardener and I've tried to help her out with Amazon orders too, and it can be a pain! So, everyone's suggesting wishlists, which is good, but have you thought about *what brands* you're putting in there?
Honestly, I've found a HUGE difference in quality between different brands on Amazon for gardening stuff. Like, I got her some gardening gloves last year that looked great in the picture, but they ripped after like, a week! They were some random brand I'd never heard of. I think they were branded as "EcoGard", but I'm not 100% sure. I'd definitely recommend sticking with brands you know, even if they're a little more expensive. Like, Fiskars is always a safe bet for tools. For seeds, maybe check out Burpee? They've been around forever, so they must be doing something right, lol!
Just a thought – making sure the stuff you're adding to the wishlist is actually *good* quality will save your aunt (and your grandma!) some headaches later. It's worth spending a little extra time checking reviews and brand reputations before you finalize that wishlist, I think.
Hope this helps!
Hey! I totally get your security concerns. I'm pretty cautious too when it comes to online accounts. While the wishlist idea is good, if you're still worried, here's another thought: could you call Amazon customer service? Seriously, I've had surprisingly good luck with them before. Explain the situation – that you want to essentially 'transfer' a cart to another account for purchase. They *might* have a secure workaround, or at least be able to guide you to a safer option than logging in on her computer or messing with your account settings. It's worth a shot to ask them directly, right? Better safe than sorry when it comes to your account!
Hey! So, everyone's given some good advice, but I had another thought. It's a bit more involved, but hear me out! You know how you can 'inspect' a webpage in your browser? Basically, you can see the underlying code.
Why does this matter? Well, your Amazon cart is basically just a list of product IDs and quantities stored somewhere in that code. If you're even a *little* bit techy (and it sounds like you're willing to try!), you could potentially copy that data and send it to your aunt. She could then use that data to, like, write a little script or something (or manually add the items, but with the *exact* product IDs, so no mistakes!).
Here's the thing: I haven't *personally* tried this with Amazon, but I've done similar things with other websites. It *can* be a bit fiddly, and you'd need to be comfortable with right-clicking and choosing 'Inspect' or 'Inspect Element' in your browser. You'd then be looking for something that says 'cart' or 'items' or 'products' in the code. It'll probably be in JSON format (like this reply!).
It's definitely a DIY solution, but if you're feeling adventurous, it might work! No guarantees, though, and it might take some Googling to figure out exactly where Amazon stores that cart data. Hope this helps! Let me know if you wanna try and I can try to give more specific instructions (but no promises I'll be able to find the exact location!).
Hey! So, everyone's offered some good ideas, and I totally get your security concerns – better safe than sorry! I'm usually pretty cautious myself. I've actually had issues with shared accounts in the past (not Amazon, thankfully), and it's just not worth the potential headache, IMO.
While wishlists are a decent option, I find they can get messy if you're trying to replicate a specific cart with exact quantities and such. It's easy for things to get missed or duplicated. Plus, managing multiple wishlists gets annoying after a while.
Have you considered using Amazon's "Gift" option during checkout, and shipping directly to your aunt? Here's how it would work:
1. **You build the cart as normal.** Get everything exactly as you want it.
2. **Proceed to checkout.**
3. **At the shipping address stage, enter your *aunt's* address.**
4. **Here's the key part:** During checkout, *before* you finalize the order, there's an option to mark the order as a gift. This allows you to include a gift message, and, crucially, it hides the price from the recipient.
5. **Then, screenshot or copy/paste (tedious, I know) the *entire order summary* (item names, quantities, prices) and send it to your aunt.** She'll know exactly what's in the order, and you can confirm with her she's happy with everything.
6. **She can then either pay you back directly, or you can cancel the order before it ships**, and she can recreate the *identical* cart (using your summary) in her Prime account for the free shipping.
This allows *you* to control the cart contents completely, avoid sharing account info, and still get the benefit of her Prime shipping. It's a bit of a workaround, but I think it hits the sweet spot between security and convenience. It is also useful to have a reference of what you wanted to order if you do need to recreate it.
It's also worth checking if Amazon offers any temporary promotional codes that might offset the shipping cost if your aunt doesn't want to recreate the cart. I've seen them pop up occasionally.
Hope this helps! Let me know if you need more info.
Hey! Thinking about gardening stuff for your grandma, have you considered *what* she's actually planting? Like, specific seeds that do well in *your* region? What grows great in Florida might be a total flop in, say, Montana! Buying local seeds from a nearby garden center might be a better bet than just grabbing anything off Amazon, honestly. Plus, local places often have better advice for your climate. Just a thought!
Hey everyone,
Okay, so I see a lot of folks are focusing on wishlists and security, which are valid points. But what about just using good ol' email? I mean, yeah, manually copying and pasting descriptions *is* tedious. But here's a thought: Amazon lets you create a *printable* order summary, right before you finalize the purchase. Instead of actually ordering, go to the last step, and then print that page to a PDF (most browsers have that option built-in now).
That PDF will have all the item names, prices, and even the little pictures. Then you can just email that PDF to your aunt! It's way more organized than just a list in an email, and she can easily see everything at a glance. Plus, it's super clear what you want, minimizing any confusion. She can then just manually add the items to *her* cart, using the PDF as a reference. It's a one-time effort, and avoids any account sharing risks. It's not perfect, but it's a pretty straightforward workaround, IMO!
Hope this helps!
Hey! So, while wishlists are good, consider Amazon Household. It lets you share Prime benefits (like free shipping!) with your aunt, and you can both see each other's payment methods (with permission, of course!). It's not *exactly* cart sharing, but it solves the shipping issue and lets her order directly using her Prime. Just make sure you trust her! Plus, you can remove her later if needed. Hope this helps!
