I've been trying to figure out the best way to just... send my entire Amazon cart to my dad so he can check the total and pay for it since it's a gift for my brother's birthday. I'm building him a starter gaming desk setup and I've got like 14 different small things in there like cable ties, a specific oversized mousepad, and some LED strips.
I spent some time looking this up and saw people mentioning the Wish List feature or just making a Registry, but honestly, that seems like a massive pain. With a Wish List, you have to go to every single item page and click add to list one by one, but I already have everything sitting in my cart ready to go. Then I saw some Chrome extensions like Share-A-Cart, but I'm always a bit sketched out about giving a random browser extension access to my Amazon account info. Is that even safe or is there a way to do it natively?
What I really need is:
- Something that keeps the quantities the same (I need 3 of one specific cable clip)
- Needs to be simple enough for my dad to open on his phone without a hassle
- Preferably doesn't require me to re-add everything from scratch
- Budget is around $300 and I need to get this ordered by tomorrow to hit the shipping window
Is there like a hidden share cart button I'm just totally missing? Every time I try to google it I just get ads for plugins...

Amazon really makes this harder than it needs to be, honestly. Theres no hidden button for sharing a cart natively, which is super annoying when you have 14 different things ready to go. Since youre sketched out by extensions, the best native workaround is to just use the Move to List button right inside the cart view. It works well enough and its way faster than visiting every product page again. Just make sure you double-check the quantities after moving them because sometimes it resets to 1... it is a bit of a manual process but it works fine if you want to stay safe and avoid extra software. If you just want a quick one-click solution tho, there's a neat extension called Cart To Link that basically turns your cart into a link.

> I'm always a bit sketched out about giving a random browser extension access ngl I totally get that. You have to be careful with permissions these days because some of those tools ask for way too much info. Quick question tho, are these 14 items all shipped by Amazon or are some third-party sellers? That usually changes how the checkout looks for the other person and might mess with your shipping window if things arrive at different times. If you want a middle ground, you should check out Cart To Link if you need to share your cart without installing heavy software. I use it because it is super straightforward and keeps the quantities exact which is huge for those cable clips you mentioned. Just be aware that since your budget is tight at $300, you might wanna double check the prices right before you send it... things in my cart always seem to jump up a few bucks overnight and you dont want your dad surprised by the total.
