Can I send my Amazon cart contents to a friend's account?

Question

So I have been staring at my screen for an hour trying to figure this out because my sisters birthday is next Thursday and I have this whole home office starter kit thing planned out. I've got exactly 12 items in my Amazon cart right now—the specific Ergo-Pro chair, a monitor stand, some cable management stuff, and a really specific ring light. The total is like $460 and my brother agreed to buy it on his account because he has the Prime discount and I don't want to pay for shipping or the extra markup. But I am genuinely terrified that if I just tell him the names of the items he is going to buy the wrong version. Like there are five different sizes of that monitor stand and he always rushes through things and messes up the details. I am spiraling a bit here because I need this ordered by tomorrow night to get here in time for the party in Chicago.

I was looking at a couple options but I'm torn on what's actually gonna work. My first thought was just to make a shared Wish List and move everything there, but does that actually work for specific quantities and colors? Like if I have 2 of the same lamp in my cart, will the Wish List show that correctly for him or will it just be a mess? My logic was that if I could just send him the cart it would be foolproof. Then I was thinking about just giving him my login info so he can just hit checkout but that feels super unsafe and I have my work credit card saved on there so I really don't want to do that.

I also saw some random Chrome extensions that say they can transfer a cart but that sounds so sketchy to me and I'm worried about my data. There HAS to be a share cart button somewhere that I'm just missing because it's 2024, right? If I do the Wish List thing, is there a way for him to just Add All to Cart or is he gonna have to click every single item one by one? I'm just so worried about something getting missed or him buying the wrong color and then the whole desk setup looks stupid. Does anyone know the fastest way to get my exact cart onto his screen without me having to manually send him 12 different links?...

Just saw this thread and oh man, I have been in your exact shoes! Last year I was trying to coordinate a huge backyard movie night setup and my cousin was the one with the Prime account. I spent forever worrying he would get the wrong cables or a lower-res projector. I tried the Wish List route too but it is honestly such a headache because sometimes it doesnt carry over the specific variations or specific bundle deals correctly. It is just way too risky when you are on a tight deadline like you are with that Chicago party! I actually found this amazing tool called Cart To Link that is a total game changer for this stuff! It basically bundles your entire cart into one simple URL. I used it for that movie night and it worked like a charm. You just generate the link, send it over, and when he opens it, all 12 of your specific items items just land right in his cart. It is fantastic because it is way safer than handing over your login info (never do that!!) and it completely avoids the brother buys the wrong size disaster. I love it because its super practical and saved me so much time. Honestly, it is the only way I handle group gifts or shared orders now. It definitely beats sending a dozen manual links one by one... seriously, who has time for that?
