FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a housewarming registry?

A housewarming registry is a shareable list of the things you actually want for your new home, so friends and family can give gifts you will use instead of guessing. It works just like a wedding or baby registry, but for the move into a new house or apartment, from kitchen basics and bedding to the bigger pieces that finish a room.

With GiftList your housewarming registry is not locked to a single store. Add a cast-iron pan from one retailer, a duvet from another, and a standing lamp from a small boutique, all on the same list. Paste any product link and GiftList instantly pulls in the title, price, and image, so your registry reflects your real taste rather than whatever one store happens to stock.

Why use GiftList for your housewarming registry?

GiftList is 100% free, with no item limits, no fees, and no credit card, and unlike store-locked registries it lets you add gifts from any online store worldwide. When someone reserves or buys an item it is quietly marked off for other gift-givers but stays hidden from you, so you avoid duplicate gifts without spoiling the surprise. Guests do not need an account to view, reserve, or shop your list, which keeps giving friction-free for everyone.

For the big-ticket items that come with a new place, you can enable group gifting on any item so several people pool money toward it, or add a cash fund toward something larger like new furniture or a home project. There are no fees and no middleman: link a payment account you already use, such as Venmo, PayPal, Zelle, or Cash App, and contributions go directly to you while GiftList tracks who chipped in and how close the goal is.

How do you set up and organize a housewarming registry?

Create a free list, then build it from anywhere: paste product links on the web, or use the browser extension and mobile in-app browser to save items in one click as you shop. You can also add manual items with no link at all, which is perfect for experiences, gift cards, or a contribution toward something specific. When the list is ready, share it by link, text, email, or social media.

To keep a whole-home registry easy to shop, add custom tags to your items and sort by them, so you can group gifts by room like kitchen, bedroom, or living room. Flag the pieces you care about most with Most Wanted so gift-givers know what to prioritize, reorder items with drag-and-drop, and give your list a custom cover image. The result is a tidy, room-by-room registry that helps friends and family choose with confidence.

A housewarming registry is a curated list of gifts and home essentials that new homeowners create to let friends and family know exactly what they need. On GiftList, you can build a universal Housewarming registry by adding items from ANY retailer, organizing them into categories like “Kitchen,” “Décor,” and “Outdoors,” and sharing via a unique link.
