Is there a way to send an Amazon cart link?

Question

I'm literally panicking because the office baby shower for Sarah is next Tuesday and I was put in charge of the group gift basket. I have two different versions of the cart ready to go on my account but I cant figure out how to just show the other girls what I picked without taking a million screenshots.

I'm torn between these two setups:

Option A: High-end organic wood toys and fancy swaddles that hits our $200 budget exactly

Option B: Practical essentials like diapers, creams, and wipes which is only about $120 total

I'm leaning toward the practical one so people don't have to chip in as much but I'm so worried the colors won't look right in the physical basket I already bought. I tried sharing my screen on a zoom call earlier but my internet is being so glitchy today and I just have so much on my plate before the weekend hits. I really need to get this ordered tonight so it arrives by Monday at the latest or I am going to be showing up empty handed which would be a total disaster. Is there a way to send an Amazon cart link so they can just see the items directly? I really dont want to have to manually move everything to a wish list or make a whole registry just for one gift basket if I can help it...

To add to the point above: standard Amazon URLs rely on local session IDs, so they wont load for others. I use a handy tool for this kind of thing and it works well for migrating cart data via a temporary manifest. Im satisfied with the speed, and it handles the 120 vs 200 dollar item sets easily. TL;DR: Use a third-party extension to export the cart manifest.

Saw this late but Option B is amazing! Selecting practical essentials saved my office $80 last time. This approach ensures high utility while significantly reducing individual costs for everyone!

Amazon doesnt have a native share button for carts because the contents are tied to your specific account session and encrypted cookies. If you send that URL, everyone else just sees their own empty cart. Since you're in a rush and need to avoid a full registry, there are two technical workarounds that actually work:

Share-A-Cart browser extension. This basically scrapes your cart and generates a unique shortcode you can send out.

Move to List. In your cart, just hit the "Move to list" link under each item. Set the list privacy to "Shared" and you get a direct link. The list option is better since it lets them see the images and prices without installing extra software. Ngl, Option B sounds more practical for a baby shower, but those high-end wood toys from Option A definitely have more "gift appeal" if you're worried about the basket looking kinda thin...
