Description

A wish list is like a birthday present list; it is created so others can buy an item for you. It is generally public, but you can keep it private and send a link to your wish list to friends.

A shopping list is like taking a list of items to buy to a store - it is only for you and is private. You purchase the items on a shopping list.

An account must be created to manage a wish/shopping list.

You can always convert a wish list to a shopping list and vice versa by selecting 'wish list' or 'shopping list' in your account.

Sign in

The wish list owner signs in to the registry to manager the wish list. Note that if the owner tries to sign in unsuccessfully several times in a row, she will be locked out for a while before she can try signing in again. This is to help mitigate someone trying to keep on guessing the email address and password.

Forgot Your Password?

If the list owner forgets the login password, the email address on record (i.e. the one entered in when the registry was created) is typed in and the password emailed. The 'forgot your password?' link is on the login page.

The following only show up when you are signed in.

Manage your account

What can a guest do?

Search for a list

On the "Find a wish list" page, a person can search for a registry by entering at least the first two letters of the first or last name of the wish list owner.

Buy something in the list

To buy something from the list, find the person in question's registry using the provided search. Once found, click on the registrant's name.

The wish list owner may have sent an email with the registry link in it. Click on the supplied link.

Once inside the registry, all the items in the registry will show up. Just order one or more item. Once paid for, the Rec'd column will increase by the quantity purchased. Once the Rec'd column matches the Wants column, the order button disappears and 'Fulfilled' shows up.
