How can I share my Amazon cart items with a friend securely?

Is there a way to just send my whole Amazon shopping cart to my friend without like giving her my password and letting her see my whole account history? I am so freaking hyped because I am planning this huge joint bachelorette weekend in Austin for our bestie next month and we need to coordinate on all the decorations and matching outfits and stuff. I probably have like 25 items in my cart right now and I dont want to manually copy-paste every single link because that would take forever and I am already running behind on the timeline.

I did a bit of googling and saw some people mention Amazon Household but that sounds way too complicated for just a one-time thing plus I think it links our actual payment methods and I definitely dont want her accidentally charging my card for her own groceries or seeing my weird private purchase history lol. I also saw this extension called Share-A-Cart but honestly I am always super nervous about installing random plugins that read my browser data especially when it comes to shopping sites. Is there like a native share button I am missing or a way to turn a cart into a public list temporarily? I really need her to be able to just add the items to her own cart and checkout on her end so we can split the costs easily. Hope there is a simple trick for this that isnt a security nightmare...

I totally get the frustration, honestly. Last summer when I was organizing a huge camping trip for eight people, I had a similar headache. The Household thing was a total nightmare with the payment sharing stuff. Using a public Wish List instead has made me super satisfied because it basically solves the whole security issue. You just move everything from your cart into a fresh list, set it to shared, and send her the link. She can literally just click add to cart on her side for everything you picked out. It keeps your private history totally separate and works well for groups. Honestly, I dont blame you for skipping the extensions... sometimes they feel sketchy. No complaints at all with the list method tho. TL;DR: Move your cart items to a public Wish List. Send her the link and she can add them to her own cart from there.

> Is there like a native share button I am missing or a way to turn a cart into a public list temporarily? I disagree that searching for a native button is worth the hassle tbh. Reminds me of when my cousin tried to coordinate a family reunion. He had all these budget-friendly snacks in his cart to save us money. We spent all weekend arguing over whether the bulk chips were a better deal. By the time we finished debating the unit price, half the stuff was out of stock... total nightmare.

> I also saw this extension called Share-A-Cart but honestly I am always super nervous about installing random plugins I totally get that. If you want to compare, Share-A-Cart is the fastest method. Pros: one-click transfer of all 25 items. Cons: browser extension privacy concerns. The alternative is an Amazon Wish List. Pros: fully native and secure. Cons: you have to manually move every item from your cart. Personally, the extension is a decent option if youre in a rush and need to coordinate fast.
