Whois & Analysis for addwish.com

A gift registry is a particular type of wish list.

Description.

Typically, when a recipient compiles a list of items they wish to receive and then distributes it to family and friends, they have created a wish list.

A registry, on the other hand, is made public, and the retailer or registry system provider removes items from the list as they are purchased.

Registry managers will often not divulge who has purchased the registered items.

In the United Kingdom, a gift registry is frequently referred to as a "gift list" and has become an established part of British weddings, with the service often provided by most department stores.

A wish list or want list is an itemization of goods or services that a person or organization desires.

The author may distribute copies of their list to family, friends, and other stakeholders who are likely to purchase gifts for the would-be recipient, or to offer some of the listed items for sale.

The goal of a wish list is to facilitate communication between the gift receiver and the gift giver.

Wish lists often contain items that a gift purchaser can obtain from a variety of retailers.

Some wish lists are specialized for particular purposes or concentrated at individual retailers, such as gift registries (e.g., bridal registries).
