I’ve been looking into gift registries and I’m trying to figure out the difference between Amazon and Thankful.
I initially stumbled upon Thankful and liked that it told people what you were looking for with the store they can find it at, and then let them choose whether to purchase it online, in store or somewhere else entirely (i.e. the link was to Kohls, but they ended up finding it cheaper at Target). It seems like a good option for both out of towers and locals; millennials and people who prefer the more traditional route. However, Thankful charges you (the couple getting married) $30 to use their service for one year.
Then I started looking more closely at Amazon and found out they had a universal feature as well (links to stores outside Amazon) and allowed people to mark that they purchased the gift elsewhere. (contd in comments)
