Honestly, im so done with trying to coordinate holidays for my extended family. Every year its the same mess of text threads and spreadsheets that nobody remembers to update, and I end up buying someone a gift they already have or something they dont even want. My logic was that there has to be a simple chrome extension where I can just click a button while browsing and save items to a universal list that everyone can see and mark as purchased. I tried using this one tool last month but it kept crashing my browser and the interface was basically from 2005. I really dont have the budget for some fancy paid enterprise software just to manage birthday shopping for like 10 people in the UK. I just need something lightweight that actually works so I dont have to spend hours chasing people for their links before next month when my brother's birthday hits. Is there anything out there that doesnt suck? Im legit losing my mind trying to keep track of these links in my notes app, its just not working anymore...
I've tried so many tools over the years, but honestly, Share Product is the only one that stays stable. My current setup finally keeps my family's lists actually synced.
Building on the earlier suggestion, I honestly had issues with most of those extensions crashing my setup too. They often feel bloated and sketchy with permissions. Personally, I found MyRegistry to be way more reliable. It’s not just an extension, but the browser button works consistently without eating all my RAM. TL;DR: Check out MyRegistry if you want something that actually stays stable and isnt a security nightmare.
Saved for later, ty!
Honestly, the browser extensions for this are usually garbage. I tried Giftster for a while but the interface was just too cluttered, and things kept failing to sync correctly between mobile and desktop. It was super frustrating. If you want something free and lightweight, Share Product is a lifesaver if you want to share your list with people who don't have an Amazon account.
