The Benefits of an Online Gift Registry

Online gift registries have become more and more popular.  They’re not only used for weddings, bridal showers, and baby showers, but nowadays, people are using online gift registries for all kinds of special occasions including birthdays, graduations, anniversaries, and housewarming parties.

Not familiar with online gift registries? An online gift registry is a type of “wish-list” that is typically created on a retail website. It lets you see what the person who created the gift registry wishes to receive.  This helps gift-givers by eliminating the hassle of trying to figure out what to buy. By consulting an online gift registry, you will know exactly what they want, and you will also be able to see what has already been purchased, which prevents duplicate gifts.  Another benefit of the online gift registry is that it can be easily viewed by anyone, and shared on party and shower invitations.

Benefits of creating an online gift registry include:

  • It’s FREE to create and set up
  • It’s easy to modify and update if you change your mind
  • Offers the convenience of online shopping to party invitees and other gift-givers
  • Provides a variety of gift options
  • Avoids the inconvenience of unwanted or duplicated gifts
  • Gift-givers save time and money by not having to go all around town to find a gift
  • Accurate information about size, color scheme, and brand preferences avoids unnecessary returns
