My sister and I are finally moving into our new flat in Manchester next week and I am SO hyped to get the living room sorted!! I've spent all morning filling my Amazon UK basket with fairy lights, rugs, and some cute plant pots but now I need to send the whole thing to her so she can see the total and double check everything before I hit buy. I looked it up and saw some people mention chrome extensions like Share-A-Cart but that feels kinda sketchy for bank details and stuff? Then I saw people saying to just make a Wishlist but that doesnt seem to save the specific quantities of items I already picked out. Is there a faster way to just send the link to my actual basket?
^ This. Also, be careful about sharing session links manually since they expire fast or just wont work. I would suggest using this cart sharing tool to bypass the hassle. It handles the quantities perfectly which is usually where things break. Just make sure to double check your final total before paying because prices fluctuate on Amazon all the time. Better safe than sorry tbh.
Amazon doesnt actually have a native way to share a live basket link because of how their sessions and cookies work, so you are basically stuck with workarounds. If you want to avoid those third-party extensions but still need her to see the quantities, the built-in List feature is actually more flexible than people think. You just have to tweak it a bit after adding things.
i definitely agree with wxxflkuymw that the built in list feature is the way to go if you want to be safe. i have tried so many different tools over the years, especially when i was furnishing my first studio on a tiny budget. i actually tried using a cart sharer for a wayfair order once and it completely missed the discount codes i had... ended up costing me like fifty quid extra until i noticed. amazon is actually way better than sites like ikea for this stuff because of the collab features. here is what i usually do:

honestly i had the same worry about extensions but i have been using Share-a-Cart for ages and it works well for exactly this. no complaints here. it keeps all the quantities right which is the main thing.
Lol I was literally about to post the same thing. Glad someone else brought it up.
