So I am finally pulling the trigger on this massive family blowout for my 40th birthday in Seattle this August and I am honestly so pumped. It has been like five years since we were all in one place and I really want to make it special. Since I have been the designated tech support person for my parents and siblings forever

• I literally set up their home networks and manage their cloud backups - they are all looking at me to organize the gift registry or wishlist situation for the big party so there are no duplicates.

Normally I would just throw together an Amazon list and call it a day but I have run into this super annoying issue where the Amazon universal wishlist button doesnt really scrape metadata from other boutique sites properly anymore. Plus the privacy settings are super clunky if you want a list that is strictly invite-only but also allows people to see what has been bought without spoiling the surprise for me. I have been doing this for years for Christmas but this specific use case is kicking my butt for some reason.

I am looking for something with a really clean UI that is mobile-responsive because my aunt is basically tech-illiterate and will lose it if the interface is too cluttered or full of ads. I need to be able to add stuff from niche hobby sites

• I have got my eye on some specific espresso gear that is around $500 for a group gift and some smaller camping stuff under $40 - and I want to be able to just send a private link or use a password for a specific group of people. I tried Elfster but it feels way too geared toward Secret Santa stuff with the whole drawing names thing which we dont want. Does anyone know of a solid aggregator that lets you keep everything private but actually works with a browser extension for easy adding from any site? I am mostly worried about privacy and making sure the data isnt just being sold to every advertiser the second we sign up...
