4 Gift Registries / Wishlists
4.1 How do I create a gift registry/wishlist?

You can visit us to browse the shop at your leisure and get one-on-one guidance in creating your registry. Or, you can create your registry online!

 

4.2 How do I create a gift registry/wishlist online?

To create a new gift registry/wishlist, you need to login to your customer account. If you don’t have an account, we ask that you create one.

Once logged in, in the account menu you should see a link for “My Gift Registries”.  Click that, then on the page that loads, click “Create a New Registry” button. 

In the form that loads, fill in the following fields:

  1. Registry Name: Title the registry as you like. This will show as the registry’s name to anyone looking for the registry. 
  2. Active:  If checked, your registry will show in search results (if you made your registry public).
  3. Public or Private:
    • Public: available to anyone, shows in the search results when searching registries
    • Private: does not show up in search results. A URL link is provided after saving your registry that you can give to friends and family so that they can view your registry. 
  4. Registry Type: choose from “Wedding”, “Wedding Shower”, “Housewarming”, “Birthday”, “Other” 
  5. Event Name: Enter a name for the event this registry is for. 
  6. Event Date: If event for this registry is occurring on a particular date/time, set that here.  The registry will no longer show to public after the event date has passed. 
  7. Event Description: Describe the event this registry is for. 
  8. Registrant Name: Your name, or the name of the primary person this registry is created for. 
  9. Registrant Email: The email address that should be notified when an item is purchased for this registry.
  10. Co-Registrant Name: Commonly used for spouses name (if wedding).

Once you’ve filled out the required fields, click “Save Changes”.  The registry will be created and you’ll be forwarded to the “Manage” page for the registry.  You can now add items to the registry. 

 

4.3 How do I add items to my registry?

To add items to a registry, simply browse the catalog on the online store. When you find an item you want to add to the registry, click to view the product’s details page. There will be an “Add to My Registry” link below the product’s description. Clicking this will display a couple fields:

  • “Select a registry to add this item to:” Choose the registry that you would like to add this item to. This field is required as you can have multiple registries set up at the same time.
  • “How many of this item do you want?:” Enter the quantity of this item that you would like. This amount will show up as the “Quantity Wanted” amount on your registry.

Once you’ve selected the registry and entered the amount you would like, click “Add to Selected Registry Now”. The item will now be listed on the registry you selected.

 

4.4 Managing an existing registry

Need to edit one of your registries? Simply login to your customer account on the online store, then go to “My Gift Registries” (a link in the account menu). This will list any registries in your account. You can delete the registries in the list using the “Delete Registry” button, or click on the registry’s name to edit it. 

When editing a registry, you can manage the items assigned under the “Products” tab.  This displays any products you’ve added to this registry. You can update the quantity wanted for each item (change the quantity, then click outside the field and change will be auto saved), or remove an item from the registry using the “Remove from Registry” button. 

To edit a registry’s info, click on the “Details” tab where you can edit any of the fields you first set when creating the registry. 

To view a log of items ordered from this registry, click the “Orders” tab. 

To view a log of any changes made to this registry, click the “History” tab.
