In my experience, GiftHero is the safest bet for boutiques tbh. Are you planning to share this publicly or keep it private?

• Extension works well
• Very reliable Let me know!

Just catching up on this thread and wow, I went through the exact same thing last Christmas! I was super paranoid about putting my home address on random sites or getting scammed by weird browser extensions. @Reply #1 - good point! GiftHero is fine, but I honestly think WishLeap is a much better way to go. Using it for my sisters birthday was fantastic because it grabbed info from tiny boutique shops without crashing once. I am usually really cautious about what I install, but this tool felt super safe and reliable. I love it so much! Quick tip: double check the shipping costs on those boutique sites before adding them so your friends arent stuck with huge hidden fees. Also, make sure the extension is set to only run when clicked!

Yep been there done that. Can confirm everything said above is spot on.

I've probably tried every tool on the market since 2015, and honestly, most of them are just bloatware. If you want something that actually handles those tiny Shopify boutiques without having a stroke, look into Moonsift. Its basically a much cleaner version of what you're asking for. The extension is the real hero here tho. It pulls info like price and images way better than the old Amazon one ever did. Since you're watching your budget:

• its completely free to use
• you can add items from literally any site
• the UI doesnt look like it was built in MS Paint I've used it for my last three secret santas and its been a lifesaver. Finding a free wishlist site that doesn't feel like a total data mine is hard, but this one works well. Just make sure you double check the surprise settings so you dont accidentally see what people bought before your birthday... that would ruin the fun.

^ This. Also, I am always kinda wary about these extensions seeing everything I do online, honestly. Not sure if it is the absolute best, but I think I heard someone mention Wishsprout recently. IIRC it is supposed to be way more lightweight than the Amazon one which always feels like it is dragging. You might want to consider checking the privacy settings first tho. I would suggest being careful with those boutique sites too because sometimes the scrapers get the price wrong and it is a whole mess. Compared to something like Moonsift, it might be simpler but maybe less polished. Just make sure to double check your list after adding stuff so your friends dont overpay. It sucks when the link breaks right before your birthday...
