What is the best way to share Amazon carts anonymously?

So I'm trying to figure out how to let someone see everything in my Amazon cart without them seeing my real name or my delivery address or anything like that. I've been looking into it because I'm helping organize a neighborhood gift drive for some families in my town (im in the midwest) and we want to keep things private for the recipients but still let donors see the exact items needed. I read about just using a public wishlist but when I tried a test one it still showed my first name and the city it was going to which is a total dealbreaker for this specific thing since privacy is the whole point. I also saw some browser extensions that claim to share carts but they look kinda old and I've been worried about security plus I dont want to make the donors install some random app just to see a list of toys and clothes.

  • Must be 100% anonymous (no names or addresses visible)
  • Has to be simple for the other person to use without an account
  • Need to have this sorted by Friday so I can send the links out
  • Free or super cheap because my budget is basically zero for the tech side of this

Is there like a third party site that just scrapes the cart and makes a temporary link or something? Or maybe a way to trick Amazon into hiding all my info on a list? I really dont want to have to screenshot everything and type out the links manually if I can avoid it...

> I really dont want to have to screenshot everything Are you doing one giant list or separate ones per family? It changes how you organize things tho. Cart to Link is worth trying.

I wrestled with this for a local drive tbh. Lists leak metadata. I switched to Share-A-Cart because it strips session IDs from the payload. donors just see the SKU list.

I would suggest using Cart to Link for this project. It handles anonymity better than Amazons native tools.

  • Double check link permissions
  • Test in private windows Be careful tho.
