Honestly, its pretty ridiculous that Amazon hasn't built a native way to do this yet. Youd think a trillion-dollar company could add a simple share button, but unfortunately, it just doesnt exist. I went through this exact same headache last summer when I was trying to split gear costs for a backpacking trip. I spent forever picking out a specific Klymit sleeping pad and a decent budget stove, only to realize I had to manually send every single link to my buddy. Its a massive waste of time and super annoying when youre trying to stay organized. Since you dont want to deal with the wish list nonsense, your best bet is a browser extension called Share-A-Cart. I have used it before and it works okay, though sometimes its a bit glitchy if the other person isnt logged in properly. It basically generates a code or a link that rebuilds your cart on their screen so they can see the exact specs. Just be careful because sometimes prices fluctuate or items go out of stock between the time you share it and when they actually open it, which can mess up your $500 budget. If youre trying to stay under that price point for a tent and cooking gear, definitely double check those bundles. They usually look like a deal but sometimes theyre actually more expensive than buying the items separately. Ngl, the whole process is way more frustrating than it needs to be because Amazon just wants you to hit that buy button immediately without thinking twice or getting a second opinion.
