1. What is a Gift Registry / Wishlist?
A gift registry contains a list of gifts that you have selected and would like to receive. It can be used for any gift-receiving occasion. For example, baby showers, baby's 1st birthday, Christmas, etc. Our gift registry also contains many other features that help you celebrate your event and manage the gifting process -- features such as an on-line announcement page, on-line photo album, RSVP, Guestbook, Gift Summary, E-Notification, etc.

A gift registry can help you avoid unwanted and duplicate gifts, and makes it convenient for your friends to buy you the perfect gift.

EWish is one of the leading gift registry operators in the country and has been creating and operating gift registry systems since 1999. Their system takes care of all the key gift registry functions, everything from creating and updating the gift list to accepting and routing gift orders to us for delivery.

For best performance we suggest keeping your image smaller than 600x400 pixels. The resolution should be 72 dpi.
