Standard UK delivery is free on a weekday. For any cash on your gift list they only charge a 2% transfer fee. Your funds are kept in a ring-fenced Trust account, giving you confidence that your money and gifts are safe. Honeymoon funds, homeware gifts, adventures or a combination of everything. With Prezola you have the freedom to add, and edit what you want, when you want. You can add it all using the UK’s favourite wedding gift list. Here are a few of our favourite Gift List services in the UK. Not only does this discreet solution save a lot of tricky questions, but it means that all your guests need to do on the big day is grace you with their presence – which, as we all know, is enough of a present in itself… yes? We’ve come up with a useful function to smooth over any awkwardness: once your guests have RSVP’d online, they will be given the option of choosing a gift directly from your chosen online Gift List. We would generally recommend that you steer clear of poetry here! However, these can sound a little coy, and some guests may feel they’re being mugged through the medium of rhyming couplets. To take the edge off the request, many couples resort to writing little poems to ask for donations to their ‘wishing well’. However good your reasons, it can still be embarrassing to ask your guests for hard cash. From honeymoon cocktails to bespoke artwork for the home, your guests can picture how their money will be used, and if your plans happen to change there are no ties once the funds have been transferred to your account. Some online Gift Lists offer flexible options to create personalised bespoke cash funds that guests can contribute to. Some online gift lists also offer ‘group gifting’ for expensive items, which means guests can give as much as they can comfortably afford.Īsking for cash has become a little more acceptable in recent years, although most people still feel that it smacks of buying a festival ticket (“So, will we be issued with a wrist band so that we can go in and out, or will they just use a stamp?” is one tart comment we’ve heard).Īccording to research, guests feel happier contributing money if they know what it will be put towards. Nobody needs to spend hours traipsing round huge department stores in search of some elusive sous-vide cooking set online Gift Lists mean that everything can be done from the comfort of your own home. How much more sensible (and kind) to let people know what you actually want! And these days, Gift Lists are easier to use than ever, both for you and your guests. How do you choose a present for the niece you only see once a year at Christmas? How about this lovely set of botanical table mats? Mmmm! Straight to Oxfam. In the bad old days before the Gift List, wedding presents were a rather hit-and-miss affair a kind of marital equivalent of Russian roulette. Then everyone is happy! Don’t ever feel bad about providing a list, you are simply guiding people towards things you really do want and steering them away from wasting their money. Both these things are very lovely, but we all know that guests will want to buy you something anyway – something they think you will remember them for, so accept it and give them a Gift List to shop from. Others ask for donations to a chosen charity. Finally, you can do your Christmas planning on any of your iOS devices – thanks to the integrated support of iCloud, all Christmas List data are synchronized between devices.Older couples, often on their second (or third!) weddings often stipulate “no gifts please your presence is present enough”. For better understanding of your current progress towards making everyone happy, the app visualizes your gift shopping statistics in the form of charts. The app features convenient data visualization and sorting tools, which makes it super-easy to find all people without a present or people that you don't have a gift idea for. The Christmas Gift List offers best-in-class budgeting and analysis tools that are a breeze to use! The program lets you add people from your Contacts with a couple of taps and efficiently plan your spending for all of them. The Christmas Gift List is an absolute must-have for the upcoming holiday season! This handy app offers everything you will ever need to create a list of people whom you can't leave without gifts, make a list of gifts you are going to buy and keep your Christmas budget under control.

That’s why I try to gift an experience when attending a wedding, usually vouchers for a theatre or nice restaurant. In their photos they radiated happiness.Ĭouples like this are a reminder that marriage is about much more than presents. They were overwhelmed by the generosity of their loved ones, and their relaxed, unselfish attitude meant that they had a great wedding day. My favourite couple in recent memory dropped in to the office with a slab of wedding cake just before they jetted off on honeymoon. We have received countless photos, cards, and emails of thanks from these clients. Looking after them is a privilege as opposed to an obligation. It’s always a pleasure to deal with a friendly couple. Thankfully, we have lots of clients who are memorable for much better reasons. Dealing with the fallout is never nice but we can usually predict the couples it might happen to. We’ve witnessed plenty of rows as couples fought over what items to choose, and have even seen some relationships end before the wedding has taken place. We also get some odd choices: there was a trend for the Fifty Shades trilogy a few summers back, which made it hard to look some couples in the eye. It went unpurchased, to the surprise of nobody but the registrants. The most expensive ever was a cooker costing £11,000. We’ve had some ridiculous items appear on lists. I often think of the good we could do with all the money spent on presents. I agree with this, though I’m not permitted to say so. Guests also complain that we don’t offer a charity contribution in lieu of traditional gifts. Nobody wants to gift a peeler or spatula. If you shop late, you are stuck with the perennially unpopular kitchen utensils. They will complain endlessly when they miss out on popular items such as luggage, china or silverware. Trying to explain that some couples just don’t bother to thank people is one of the nastiest parts of my job. Even worse are clients who never say thank you for their gifts, leaving guests to call us months later to check that there hasn’t been an error or omission. I try to gently suggest that all presents are given with the best of intentions, regardless of value. Such clients then query each order that falls below this value and make us check for mistakes. Highly demanding couples also tend to expect that a specific value will be spent on each of their gifts.

They email in lengthy item requests overnight and then complain when we haven’t met their needs within 10 minutes of opening time the following morning.

These clients think it’s fine for me to spend my free time delivering last-minute goods to them at work. There are, of course, plenty of difficult couples too. I have many lovely clients who are anxious to register for gifts in every price bracket and are delighted with everything they receive. Opportunities for progression are limited, but life in our office is never dull, and the pay isn’t bad either. You need strong administration skills but you have to be good with people too. I took an admin position in the company after university and a supervisor thought I’d fit well in the gift list team. I open my email with a degree of trepidation each morning, as I never know what will be waiting for me. I am encouraged to accommodate requests wherever I can. In the same shift I have tried on dresses for one client, who shared my size, and dispatched 24 place settings of gilt-edged china to another. In 10 minutes I can go from hauling stock to being at my neatly groomed best for a client meeting. So my working days don’t conform to any regular pattern. There was a trend for the Fifty Shades trilogy a few summers back, which made it hard to look some couples in the eye This blurs the line between gift list administrator and personal shopper. Offering this level of unrivalled flexibility creates challenges: I have had to become an expert on fashion and cosmetics as well as home goods, because my clients can and will redeem the value of their gift list anywhere in our store. Not satisfied with any of the gifts purchased for you? We’ll give you store credit for the lot. Not happy with your saucepans? Return them and buy the designer handbag you’ve always wanted. Couples don’t have to commit to receiving any gift that is purchased for them. Our service offers total flexibility to clients. But achieving this is easier said than done. My goal in working life is to ensure my clients and their guests are happy with our service. Summer is not about trying to catch some sun on my lunch break: I’m far too busy trying to keep up with the challenges of peak wedding season.
