Is there a simple way to send my Amazon basket link?

Question

So okay I am literally so excited right now because I finally found the perfect stuff for my first apartment housewarming party next month in Chicago and I have been spending hours on Amazon picking out these specific gold streamers and some fairy lights and even these weird little cocktail napkins with dogs on them. My budget is about 500 bucks for everything and I think I am right on the edge of that so I really need my sister to look at everything before I hit the buy button because she is way better at interior design than I am and I dont want it to look tacky you know? But here is where I am totally stuck and I feel so dumb even asking this but how do I actually send her the whole basket??

I was looking at the screen for like twenty minutes thinking there has to be a big share button or something like on a youtube video but I cant find anything. My logic was that I could just copy the link at the top of the browser but then I remembered someone told me once that the link just says cart and it wont show my items to anyone else if they click it from their phone. Is that true? I really hope not because taking a screenshot of every single thing is gonna take me all night since I have like 35 items in there now. I even tried looking in the settings to see if I could make my cart public or something but I couldnt find anything and now I am just clicking around randomly and I am scared I am gonna delete something by accident.

Is there like a hidden button I am missing or a way to turn the basket into a list? I really just want her to see the whole list so she can tell me if the colors clash or if I am buying too much stuff. Sorry if this is a super basic thing I just never had to share a whole cart before and I am kinda lost...

Oh my gosh, congrats on the new place!! Chicago is such a fantastic city and a housewarming party with gold streamers and dog napkins sounds absolutely amazing! You are totally right to be cautious about that link tho. If you just copy-paste the URL from your browser, your sister is only gonna see her own cart items because Amazon keeps your basket private for security reasons. It's basically a safety feature so strangers cant see what you're buying or mess with your account info, which is actually a good thing even if it's annoying right now! Dont bother with screenshots for 35 items because that will take forever and probably just be super confusing for her. Honestly, it would be a total nightmare. Here is the safest way to do it:

Go into your cart and click Move to List on each item

Create a new list called Housewarming Party so everything stays together

Change the list privacy to Shared so she can actually see it

Use the Invite button to grab a link you can text or email to her This way she can see everything clearly and you dont have to worry about your account safety. Safety first always. Tbh it's way more reliable than just sending a buggy link. I just use Easy Cart Share whenever I need to show someone what's in my cart without giving out my login info.

In my experience, Amazon session IDs in URLs wont work for anyone else. I have built complex tech setups for years and honestly, just search YouTube for a tutorial on sharing carts. There is a solid video that shows the process.

search reddit for cart extensions

try Easy Cart Share I saw a guide on a tech blog once that explains the metadata thing... way easier than manual lists.

Regarding what #1 said about "Oh my gosh, congrats on the new place!!..."

I agree, but let's focus on the logistics. In my experience, browser links won't work since they are session-specific. To keep that $500 budget safe, moving items to a public Wish List is the most methodical approach. I've tried a few extensions but Easy Cart Share is the one that actually stays reliable for my Walmart orders.
