To help your friends and relatives choose a wedding or shower gift that will interest you most, registering with a gift registry is the best idea! Gift registries allow you to list gift items that you are interested that can be purchased in their establishment. Not only can you list the flatware, linens, and dinnerwear that you are interested in, but many registry allow you to choose from their complete line of housewares and other items that are available through them. Friends and family members will be able to check your list, choose the gift they would like to purchase, and you will be happy with the gift you receive!

• Browse through all of the home areas to select your gift preferences and don't forget to look at luggage, furniture, lamps or rugs in addition to the more traditional gifts in tableware, kitchen and bed and bath.
• Take this opportunity to upgrade items you may currently own by registering for new, updated products like a toaster or food processor. Why not set up your new home together with all the best, new products on the market?
• Don't feel you have to complete your registry during your first appointment. You can easily add to and update your registry in-store or online.
• Make sure you include a wide variety of price ranges on your registry to fit all of your guests needs for shower as well as wedding gifts.
• Include some of those "luxury" items that you would love to have. Higher priced items make the perfect group gift for co-workers, friends, and relatives.
• Register for seasonal items such as bed and bath or table linens closer in to your wedding date. A color or pattern you select in Spring may no longer be available in the Fall, since vendors update and change their selections with the change of season.
• Some china, crystal and flatware patterns displayed in-store are centrally stocked and may not be available for your guests to purchase in-store. These patterns can be shipped through our fulfillment center; a handling fee will be charged.
• Make sure you ask about free enclosure cards which can be included in your shower invitations so that your guests will be able to purchase gifts from your registry.
• Review your registry regularly for accuracy. Even though a registry system is computerized, mistakes can happen and purchases may be made through other retailers. Keeping your registry updated will reduce the possibility of duplicate gift purchases.
