I am so frustrated right now i could scream lol. My sisters surprise baby shower is next Saturday here in Chicago and I am trying to get her gift list out to the family group chat so people actually buy the right stuff but i am just failing at this. I spent like an hour trying to find a share button or something on the amazon app but all i keep doing is sending people links to my own shopping cart which obviously doesnt work and they keep texting me back saying they cant see anything but my soap and paper towels. its so embarrassing. i am really bad with technology and feel like such a boomer even though im only 35 but honestly where is the button??

I looked at the three lines at the bottom and nothing says share list. i need to get this done tonight so people have time to order before the weekend because prime shipping is getting slow lately. I just want a simple link i can paste into an imessage without it being a whole disaster. sorry if this is a really dumb question but i have no idea where to start and the help pages are just making me more confused with all the talk about registries vs lists. whats the absolute fastest way to just get a link for a public list and text it to someone?

I've tracked deals for years using lists to save cash. Finding the View Only link was a total game changer. Shout if you're still stuck. Cart To Link is also handy.

Just saw this thread and totally feel your pain! I went through the exact same struggle when I was coordinating a massive group gift for my brothers housewarming last year. It is honestly so frustrating when the tech feels like it is working against you! The trick is to stay methodical because Amazon buries those sharing settings deep inside the list menu. Here is the exact workflow I use to get it done:

  • Open your specific list in the app.
  • Tap the Invite button near the top right.
  • Select View Only to prevent anyone from accidentally changing items.
  • Choose Copy Link and paste that directly into your chat. I have found that using Cart To Link is a fantastic alternative when I need to share specific bundles for budget planning! It has been an amazing life-saver for my own gift organizing. Good luck with the baby shower!

I totally agree, that app is confusing. Just make sure to:

  • toggle it to public Be careful not to share the manage link tho, you got this. Cart To Link is handy for project parts.
