For our brides-to-be that aren’t familiar with a Gift Registry can you explain what it actually is?

We are an online gift registry for any occasion people are likely to celebrate.  Gifts usually commemorate milestones in life, and we provide a convenient service to connect you with friends and family around the world for free!  Newly engaged couples especially like our service since they normally have a wide assortment of guests of all ages from around the world that want to send them something to make their new lives together special. A gift registry is a wishlist of items you or your partner need or want and would like to receive.

An online gift registry is really an online wishlist- super convenient for loved ones who may or may not be based in the country and would still like to send you a gift to show that they care.

Is setting up your Gift Registry easy to do?

  3. Share your list with your friends and family

Any advice to brides on how to choose gifts from the registry? 

There is no limit or restrictions on how many items can be added to their registry. With MyList, we offer complimentary Personal Shopping with a Gift Advisor in any of our partner stores. This is a great way for clients to view the latest inventory and add more items to their registry and together, explore what would be suitable for their needs and tastes.

Are there any dos and don’ts for the bride?

Do choose a selection of gifts which fall within a reasonable budget and keep your partner’s taste of living in mind as well.

Do also add a wide variety of different items to your registry?

Do make as much use of your gift advisor as you possibly can as they will be your point of contact for the entire process.

Don’t limit yourself with the number of items or price.  Explore experiences via our partner travel agencies and things like Balloon Adventures, who can create a lovely unique and personalized experience for you both.

What type of things are on your registry?

We constantly add new retail partners and have categorized items into things like homeware, electronics, leisure & experiences, travel & honeymoon, fashion & beauty, gift cards and so much more. Why limit your dream gifts?

How should brides inform their guests of the Gift List?

Brides can email their friends and family their registry link or add their personalized URL to digital or printed wedding invites, onto their social media or guests can simply search for the couple’s registry on MyList.ae using the list name or list number.
