Free Online Gift Registry

A gift registry is a list of gifts you would like for an occasion such as a wedding, baby shower or housewarming, where guests reserve items so nothing is bought twice. Ouish is a free universal gift registry: add items from any store by pasting a link, add cash funds alongside them, and share one link. Guests buy or contribute without creating an account, and Ouish takes no platform fee.

Create a Free Wishlist Try it with a product link

Store registries were built for a world where everyone shopped at one department store. Today the pram is on Amazon, the sheets are from a boutique, and what you really want is help with the deposit. A universal gift registry puts all of that on one page.

Ouish covers the whole spread: physical gifts from any retailer, cash funds with a progress bar, a wallet to collect contributions and withdraw them to your bank, and guest checkout so nobody has to make an account to give.

Try it with any product link

Paste a link from Amazon, Etsy, Target or any online store. Ouish pulls the name, photo and price so you never type them out.

What makes a good gift registry website

A good gift registry lets you add from any store, not just partners. It handles cash properly, with a named fund and a clear target, rather than pointing guests to a bank transfer. It marks gifts as taken so guests do not double up, and it keeps the buyer’s identity from you until the gift arrives. It lets guests act as guests. And it does not skim contributions.

On fees, read the fine print. Some registry sites are free to set up but charge a percentage on cash gifts. Ouish charges no platform fee; the only deduction is the payment processor’s standard charge.

How the gift registry works

1
Create your registry
Sign up free and choose the occasion: wedding, baby shower, bridal shower, housewarming, anniversary, retirement or something else. Pick your link, for example ouish.co/ada-and-seun.
2
Add gifts from any store
Paste product links from Amazon, Target, Crate & Barrel, Etsy, IKEA or any online shop. Ouish pulls the photo and price. Set quantities for things like plates and towels.
3
Add cash funds
Add a honeymoon fund, a nursery fund or a house deposit fund with a target. Guests contribute any amount and see the progress. Money collects in your wallet.
4
Share the link with guests
Put your ouish.co link on invitations, your wedding website and in group chats. Guests reserve gifts or contribute cash as guests; you are not told who reserved what.
5
Withdraw and send thanks
Withdraw cash contributions to your bank whenever you like. After the event, mark received gifts and keep the registry for the next occasion.

What you get with Ouish

Universal: any store, any product
One registry with a stand mixer from Amazon, linen from a small Shopify brand and a print from Etsy. Paste each link and the card fills itself in.
Cash funds on the same page
Guests who prefer to give money see a named fund with a target, not an awkward request. No platform fee from Ouish; only the processor’s standard charge applies.
Guest checkout
Guests open your link, reserve a gift or contribute cash, and are done. No account, no app.
Reservations without spoilers
Reserved gifts show as taken to other guests. You are not told who reserved what, which keeps the opening of gifts a surprise.
Built-in wallet and bank withdrawals
Cash contributions collect in your Ouish wallet. Withdraw to your bank account when you are ready. Registries run in USD or NGN, and guests can give from anywhere.
One account, every occasion
Make a wedding registry now and a baby registry later from the same account. Each gets its own link and cover photo.

Free Online Gift Registry FAQ

What is the best gift registry site?

The best gift registry site is one that accepts items from any store, supports cash funds without taking a cut, and lets guests buy without an account. Ouish does all three for free. MyRegistry is a well-known universal registry that charges a 2.5% PayPal fee on cash gifts. GiftList is free and supports cash funds without a cut, but does not publish multi-currency details.

Is there a free gift registry?

Yes. Ouish is a free gift registry with no premium tier, no item caps and no platform fee on cash gifts. MyRegistry and GiftList are also free to set up; check each one’s cash gift fees before you rely on it for a honeymoon fund.

Can I make a gift registry with items from different stores?

Yes. A universal gift registry like Ouish takes product links from any store. Paste a link from Amazon, then one from Target, then one from an Etsy seller, and they all appear on the same registry with photos and prices. Guests click through to buy from whichever store the item lives on.

How do I create a gift registry for cash?

On Ouish, add a cash fund to your registry with a name and a target, for example "Honeymoon in Zanzibar, $2,000". Guests contribute any amount as guests and see the progress. Contributions collect in your wallet and can be withdrawn to your bank. You can mix cash funds with physical gifts on the same registry.

Do guests need an account to buy from my registry?

Not on Ouish. Guests open your link, reserve an item or contribute cash, and never create an account. This matters most for older relatives and guests who will not download an app.

When should I create my registry?

For a wedding, three to four months before the day so it is ready when invitations go out. For a baby shower, between 12 and 20 weeks. Keep adding items until the event; the link stays the same.

What is the difference between a gift registry and a wishlist?

A registry is usually tied to a formal occasion such as a wedding or baby shower and often has quantities (six plates, four towels). A wishlist is a personal, ongoing list for birthdays and holidays. On Ouish they are the same tool with different occasion labels, so you can use whichever word you like.
