Why A Gift
Registry Is Necessary:
The Re-Gift Roulette
Playing the dangerous game of passing along that odd vase, only for it to come back to you on the next occasion. It's the gift that keeps on giving...literally.
The Surprise Element
Surprise gifts are like Forrest Gump's box of chocolates; you never know what you're gonna get.
The Trendy Trinket
Remember when Bennie Babies were all the rage?! Only to now become the silent whispers of yesteryear. They're the guests that overstayed their welcome in your living space.
The Duplicate Dilemma
Ever opened five toasters at once? Yeah, it's a toastastrophe waiting to happen.
The "I Really Wanted This" performance
Dreaming of the perfect gift, only to wake up to a reality filled with everything but…
and scene!
Great News!
Gone are the days of waiting for a wedding or a baby shower to receive gifts through registry. Why are those the only milestones we’re allowed to express how we want to be celebrated? I believe that every achievement, big or small, deserves recognition and a chance to celebrate you, on your terms.
To the divorcee; The woman that chooses to celebrate rather than mourn her dissolved marriage.
To the “Rich Auntie”; The extraordinary woman that is rich in her generosity & “Auntie” to everyone’s kid (by blood or by love).
& to the woman that wants to celebrate her milestone moment.
We are here to remind you that you are the star of your own story, we’re just the supporting characters, ready to celebrate the incredible You!
That one time Carrie Bradshaw created a gift registry for her Manolo’s …
In this iconic episode, It was not just about her missing shoes; it's about the audacity she embodied –
It’s thee
Thee audacity to stand up
Thee audacity to be fearless
& Thee audacity to demand recognition in a non-traditional way.
This moment underscores the essence of being unapologetically oneself. After her Manolo Blahniks vanish under a strict "no shoes" policy at a friend’s party, Carrie challenges the norms of gift-giving and compensation, pushing the envelope on what and how we celebrate personal losses and wins.
Creating a registry is not solely about receiving material items; it's also about acknowledging the challenges of buying for unconventional occasions and making it easier for others to show their appreciation. Being that the shoes went missing at her friend’s home, Carrie’s friend could have thought outside the box and replaced the shoes with something that would make Carrie feel valid and valued. This oversight highlights the importance of finding meaningful ways to reciprocate love and support, even in non-traditional (awkward) circumstances.
Dramatic? Perhaps. Justified? Absolutely. Be bold. Unapologetically.
