However a whatidlove online gift list allows the user to bring together items from any number and variety of retailers they choose, putting online gift ideas onto one fabulous, comprehensive online list for their family and friends to view.

Wedding Gift Lists
Online wedding gift lists or Gift Registries as they are also known, are now an accepted modern version of the traditional wedding gift list. The big difference is that they do not have to be tied to one retailer or department store so you can add and mix together gifts from John Lewis,Debenhams,Argos ,Not on the High Street, Heals and any store you choose. As Wedding gift lists made on Whatidlove are not linked to any one retailer, department store or shop and the wedding couple are free to choose which shop or retailer they want their guests to buy gifts from and can still choose to have gifts listed from a favourite retailer but be able to include one or two items from another. Whatidlove Wedding gift lists are set apart from other wedding gift lists as it is not only free to use but also allows the wedding couple to set up a truely fabulous wedding list with items they have sourced from all over the internet, together with shops they know or have found in far away places of things they really want.
Their wedding guests are given the list number to view the list and are able to buy the item direct from the retailer’s site so safer than relying on one retailer or service to supply all the items too. As the gifts are bought, the guests confirm the purchase and they are removed from the list. See a sample list here
Honeymoon Gift Registry
They are also able to ask for contributions towards large expensive gifts or even honeymoons. With whatidlove's Honeymoon Gift Registry, guests give any amount they choose which is paid into a secure account for when the couple wish to buy the item and call for the money to be transferred into their account (this incurrs a small admin fee updated regularly on our T&Cs). Contributing to large gifts or honeymoons is a growing part of our wedding gift list site as many couples already have traditional items like toasters and they want to start their future together with a dream honeymoon, or a really extravagant gift. This enables them to gain funds towards a big expensive item that will really make a mark to the beginning of their future together.
Guests seem to be happy to contribute to something if they can see it, and prefer to give towards something that is really wanted.
Birthday Fund
Lots of our users have already discovered the ability to use the wish list facility to raise money for a big ticket present for a Birthday. Usually managed by someone close to the birthday person or a member of the family. This is a great way to raise funds towards a present that is really wanted but too expensive for one person to buy. The list can run as long as is needed and the name of the list can be changed to Christmas once the birthday is past, so the fund can accumulate while it achieves its target amount.

Group gifting is not a new idea but a growing option for people online. It is a wonderful idea to club together to give a group gift, and a group gift can be appropriate for any occasion: A Retirement, Father’s Day, Mother’s day, a Teacher’s gift, a special Anniversary, a Birthday or Christmas Present, Wedding gifts or Honeymoon funds.
What a great way to give someone a really special and expensive gift they would not normally afford and for friends and relatives each to contribute a small amount towards it.
Unlike other websites, Whatidlove allows you to choose any item, experience, holiday or charity donation from any retailer you decide. Even a shop that has no website!
Once added to a list and the list number sent out to those people participating, the group gift can be contributed towards using the secure whatidlove check out facility. The target amount is shown on the list with the amount contributed so far beside it. Individual contributions are hidden from general view, so that participants can give what they can with out feeling pressured to give more than they can afford. If the organiser wants to stipulate how much everyone gives towards the present this is possible too by simply suggesting an amount before hand.
Built to be flexible, whatever group present has been decided, for whatever occasion and however you would like it set up, giving a joint present is easy with whatidlove.
Once the target is reached, or at any time, the organiser claims the money from the list and the funds are transfered into a designated bank account, less our admin costs and bank charges (see our T&Cs). This is otherwise a free service and free to set up. Once the funds are in the bank the organiser can go ahead and purchase the joint present on behalf of the group.
A great idea for any occasion, Group Gifting is a brilliant way of giving a special, memorable, personalised present to those you love and not spending a lot.
Remember that by making a gift wish list you will help to save resources…time, energy, money and lots of unwanted gifts given every year. It is a "greener way of giving and receiving gifts"
