Five Ways To Use MyRegistry.com As a Wish List

FORT LEE, N.J. - March 25, 2014 - PRLog -- People associate registries with weddings and baby showers; however, if you think of a registry as one big wish list, it can apply to any gift giving occasion. MyRegistry.com is the premiere destination for universal gift registry services and gives customers the flexibility to choose the items they like best, from any store in the world—whether it be a local mom and pop shop without a website or a national chain superstore. In addition, MyRegistry.com eliminates the burden of returning and/or exchanging unwanted or duplicate gifts.

Here are five ways to use MyRegistry.com as a wish list:
1.       WEDDINGS
Most people use registries for their wedding to receive desirable and useful gifts. Modern day registries greatly differ from those in the past.  Things that were once a total taboo to request are changing dramatically, especially when it comes to cash and higher priced item requests.  MyRegistry.com has a patent pending feature called the Cash Gift Fund which allows the couple to tactfully ask for cash that goes towards a specific item or activity.
2.       BABY SHOWERS
Registering for gifts for your baby-to-be is also traditional and MyRegistry.com makes the process fun and simple.  An important feature of MyRegistry.com is the ability to choose items from any store in the world—whether it’s online or brick and mortar. Gifts should be chosen in all price ranges and should include items or activities for the mom as well as the new baby.  Registries should be kept open so mom will be able to use MyRegistry.com for subsequent baby showers.
3.       BIRTHDAYS
Kids have birthday parties for most of their childhood, which means the hardship of buying presents for their friend’s lasts a long time.  Imagine how easy it would be if each of those kids had a registry on MyRegistry.com.  Buying presents for each party would be a simple task; in addition, when throwing a party for your own child, a wish list would alleviate the returning and exchanging of duplicate gifts and unwanted presents.  Birthday wish lists aren’t limited to children and their parties.  Many adults have wish lists for their birthdays and should keep them updated on MyRegistry.com—you never know who will be throwing you that surprise party!
4.       HOLIDAYS
Everyone has gone through that phone call from the distant relative asking what they should get family members for the holidays.  This wasted time could completely be eliminated if each family member had their own wish list on MyRegistry.com.  The wish lists could also help immediate family and friends choose gifts for each other.
5.       NONPROFITS AND ORGANIZATIONS
MyRegistry.com provides an online “wish list” for nonprofits and organizations which increases in-kind donations for their particular needs.  Organizations can choose necessities from any retailer in the world including online or brick and mortar stores. Specific items are purchased right off of a customized wish list and shipped directly to the nonprofit organization.  This allows the donor to see exactly where their money is going.

By keeping a registry open year round on MyRegistry.com, you can create a wish list for any item you desire or need throughout the year.  The registry should be shared with all friends and relatives—making it easy for gift buying and eliminating any awkwardness in asking for a present.
