These days, when someone is getting married or having a baby, they often go to a large department store and start a gift registry. What this means is that the person walks through the store and chooses items they would like to have. Then those products are listed in a computer at the store (and often on the store’s website).
When a bridal or baby shower is held for the person, or when a wedding gift needs to be purchased, friends and family are told to check that store’s gift registry. Then by looking at the wish list, a suitable gift can be chosen and there is no worry about duplicate presents. A gift registry makes shopping for that special something much faster and easier, although there is no longer any surprise waiting to be opened.
