Registry for gift cards?

Erin, on November 19, 2019 at 18:43 Posted in Before the wedding 0 7

Hi All,

We've started to look at putting together a small registry (shower and wedding). While we have lived together for a long time, I know there will be people that prefer to give something other than cash, and I certainly won't say no to upgrading some of our things! But I'm stuck!

I've started the registries with The Bay, however there are some kitchenware items that I would like, but wouldn't want them from this particular store (don't think Canadian Tire does registries.....).

Has anybody used a website that allowed for purchases of gift cards in lieu of cash? I have briefly looked at myregistry.com, but wasn't sure there would be many Canadian only retailers? And are there any that don't charge fees at purchase?


Thanks!

    That's what I was thinking too, but was worried about committing to a use for the money publicly (honeymoon, reno, etc), and then feeling guilty if we change our mind on the use of it/people ask questions about it afterwards. I'm sure it's not likely, but a fear I have! lol

    What me and my DH did was let people know we were registered at BB&B but that we would also love to receive GC's from Home Depot (you could just say Canadian Tire though?)

    I'm on myregistry.com and you can add all other registries you're already on, like the Bay, Bed Bath and Beyond etc. It then gives you tab where you can add anything from any website and it'll show up on the registry. FH and I have things from Wayfair, Amazon, Ikea, Canadian Tire, etc all in myregistry.com. We love it!
