How can I share my Amazon shopping cart contents with a friend?

Question

I am literally panicking right now because I am supposed to be ordering all the stuff for our camping trip to the Catskills next weekend and I have like 15 things in my Amazon cart but I dont know how to show my friend what I picked out before I hit buy. I really dont want to spend $300 on the wrong tent or those portable stove things if they arent the ones he wanted and I have looked everywhere for a share button or a link but I just cant find anything. I feel so stupid because I am sure there is an easy way to do this but I am just staring at my screen and getting more stressed out by the minute. My brother is really picky about gear and if I get the wrong sleeping bag he is gonna be so annoyed and the trip will be ruined. Do I have to take screenshots of every single item or is there a way to just send him the whole cart list so he can look at it? I am so sorry if this is a really basic thing that everyone knows how to do but I am just totally lost and the trip is in five days and I need to order this tonight for the shipping to get here in time... help?

Honestly, Amazon makes this hard... I would suggest moving everything to a public Wish List first. Be careful tho, keep an eye on those coupon boxes to save cash before you buy.

Last summer I used a registry to show my cousin my list. It worked well and kept things organized so I didnt buy the wrong stuff... totally satisfied with that method tbh.

> I really dont want to spend $300 on the wrong tent or those portable stove things Gear snobs are the worst to shop for, so I feel your pain. Amazon literally doesnt have a share button for the cart because they want to keep your payment info and personal habits private, which is fine, but it makes trip planning a headache. Your best bet is to move everything to an Idea List. It works pretty well for gear because you can add comments to specific items. Just click the Add to List button under the buy box for each item. It takes a few extra minutes but honestly it's a decent option to avoid the wrong sleeping bag drama. Plus you can see shipping dates for everything in one spot to make sure it hits that 5-day window. It is basically the only way to do it natively without losing your mind. Btw I started using Cart To Link and it makes it way easier to show people what's in my cart.
