The FindGift.com gift registry is a free service that will allow you to easily add any gift, from any store, for any occasion to your gift registry.
Below, are a few of the common questions that we receive...
  How do I sign-up to use your free gift registry service?
Our gift registry service is free for FindGift.com members. You can click here to sign up for a free FindGift.com member account. Signing up only takes about 2 minutes and you will quickly be on your way to adding gifts to your registry.
How do I "check off" an item as purchased on someone's gift registry?
Simply click on the check box next to the item that you have purchased. You will be asked to enter in a quantity and a code word. This code word is used to let you un-check an item in the event that a mistake was made. You can chose any code word you want. You do not need to be a member with us to check off an item from someone's registry.
How do I "un-check" an item as purchased on someone's gift registry?
Simply click on the check box next to the item that you want to un-check. Scroll to the bottom half of the form. You will be asked to enter in an amended quantity and the code word that you used when you had checked this item. In most cases, the amended quantity will be 0. Unless, you want to change the quanitity of an item purchased from one number to another (ex. entered in 8 purchased place settings, but you want to change it to 6 purchased place settings).
This feature is only for the purpose of updating the check box, or the quantity shown on this person's gift registry.
If you want to return a gift or cancel a purchase that was made to receive a refund, you will need to contact the merchant that sold you this product.
Are items automatically checked off of the person's registry when they are purchased?
No. Since we provide the flexibility to purchase the registered item anywhere that you choose, we have no way of knowing when a purchase has been made.
For example, you could decide to go to your local mall to purchase an item listed on the registry. We would have no way of automatically tracking such a transaction.
After purchasing a gift off of someone's registry, you will need to come back to their registry to check the item off.
How do I purchase an item from someone's gift registry?
Many times the registered person/couple will include a link to the item that they want. Or, they will list the name of the store where this item can be found. In these instances, you can click on the "Buy Online" link or visit the store listed to make the purchase. Or, you can go anywhere to purchase this item -- even your local mall.
FindGift.com does not sell gifts. The items you see on a person's (couple's) gift registry are sold via 3rd party retailers. Purchases would take place on their websites, at their store, or at any store you choose.
How can I add any gift, from any web site to my registry?
When entering the items manually into your gift registry, you can include a link to this item. This link will show up on your registry and can be linked to any other website that you choose. You can also enter in the name of the store if it is a local store in your area.
Or, if you like you can take advantage of our free service that allows you to add a button to your browser to click items into your registry while surfing the web (see below).
Can I add generic gift ideas that can be purchased at any store, online or off-line?
Yes. When adding items to your registry you can type in the name of any item that you want, even something generic like "Bird Bath". If you like, you can specify a store where this item can be found. Or, you can enter in "Any Store".
How can I attach multiple names to the same gift registry?
Our registry allows multiple names to be attached to the same registry. This comes in handy for weddings by allowing family members to search for either the bride, the groom, the parents of the bride, parents of the groom, etc. and be able to find the couple's registry.
This also works well for a baby registry, where the baby's name has yet to be decided. The parents can name the registry as "Baby Their-Last-Name" and then attach the names of both parents. That way, someone can find the registry by searching either on "Baby Their-Last-Name" or via the name of either of the parents.
To do this, just click on "Registry Names" link on the left menu within your registry management area. In this same manner, existing names can be edited or deleted.
What is the difference between the gift registry and gift bookmarks?
The gift registry is a list of gifts that you want to share with other people so that they have an easy way of getting gift ideas for you. Gift bookmarks can only be viewed by you and are there to help you to remember what to get other people. If you see a good gift idea for someone else, you can bookmark it so that you can easily remember how to find the gift again to purchase at a later time.
Can others change my personal gift registry information or email reminder service information?
Your information is password protected. So that only you have access to change your information. If you suspect that someone has gained access to your password, you can change your password in your member services area.
Why am I having trouble logging into my registry account?
Two possible reasons... The first of which is that you may not be using your correct username and password. If you have forgot your username or password, you can request us to email your password to you.
The second possibility is that your web browser is not configured to accept cookies. To access our member service areas, your web browser must be able to accept cookies. To change your web browser settings, please consult the help area for your web browser.
