About Felicite Gift Registry Network

In 1999 some of us were getting married, attending weddings, and having babies. We were registering for new baby gifts and buying from baby gift registries and we noticed there weren't a lot of wedding gifts online or baby gift registry online. We started thinking...

Unique Wedding Gifts, Baby Gifts, Anniversary Gifts

What are the best best baby gifts, unusual baby gifts, unique baby shower gifts? How about baby furniture, organic baby clothes, or designer baby clothing? Wouldn't it be great if we could register for gifts from more than one store? How about weddings? There were no real wedding gift registries or a money wedding registry. Wouldn't it be great to have a registry for any event including commitment ceremonies, bar mitzvahs, housewarming parties, graduation gifts? What if the bride and groom, were interested in honeymoon gift registries, cash gifts, or to donate to a charity? What if many gift givers could share in the cost of one gift? What about social networking features like an online photo album, e-notifcation system, RSVP? (today many want to post their event on places like MySpace and Facebook)

A Free Gift Registry for Any Event

In response to all these questions Felicite was born! (Feel free to pronounce it, "felicity", in many languages it translates to the quality or state of being happy; especially : great happiness <marital felicity>* see m-w.com)

Felicite can be used for any event like: Anniversary 'Gift Registry' ,'Baby Registry', 'Baby Shower Registry' ,Bar Mitzvah Registry, Bat Mitzvah Registry Registry, Birthday Registry, Charity ,Christmas, Commitment Ceremony, Graduation, Hanukkah, House Warming Registry, Quincenera Registry, Retirement Gift Registry, 'Wedding Registry'

Gift Registry Network

We worked with merchants to create a network that would allow registrants to select items from more than one store. Over 100 merchants added Felicite code to their website; registrants can browse our member merchant stores and click the "Add to Registry" buttons to place items on their wedding registry, baby registry, any occassion registry.

Not every store in the world has Felicite Add to Registry buttons (but we're working on it!) Registrants that can't find the item they want at a member merchant store can list their gift manually by choosing from a list of approved merchants.

Register for Cash Gifts

Early on Felicite recognized that many people prefer to receive a Cash Gift (perhaps instead of wedding money tree, or wedding money box) we were one of the first to offer cash gift giving via gift registry. Very popular today is the idea of marking an event by making a charitable contribution and Felicite made it easy to add a charitable listing to a gift list.

Partial Purchase Gift Registry

Realizing that the social obligation of gift giving may conflict with a gift givers budget Felicite applied for and was awarded patent 7,013,292 by the United States Patent Office for its gift registry system with a Partial Purchase feature. This means many gift givers can chip in on the cost of one gift; when the total cost is reached the gift order is placed. No longer would one friend or relative have to act as the central bank, collecting checks from other gift givers when the really should be enjoying the event. Now they can just let Felicite do it.

The partial purchase feature means paying for a gift can be a shared event. To go along with this social gift giving Felicite wanted to be more than a "wish list" (wishlist) so we added other social networking features to make Felicite more than just a gift list. Each registry comes with a photo album so pictures can be shared online. Felicite also has a guestbook for posting messages, an RSVP system to manage guest lists, and an e-Notification system to send out announcements!

Gift Registry and Social Networking

To help spread the word of your event each registry has a unique hyperlink that can be emailed or posted on social networking sites; the hyperlink conveniently takes users directly to the registry. This means friends and family can quickly get to your registry gift list, photo album, etc. To protect their privacy, an optional guest password can be assigned to limit access.
