MyRegistry AlternativeThe big event, or the everyday?
MyRegistry is a universal registry for weddings, babies, and milestones. Thoughtful is for the everyday relationships in between: the birthdays, the anniversaries, the just-because cards.

How they're different
MyRegistry centralizes the gifts for a specific big event so guests can buy from any store. Thoughtful is for the steady, unglamorous work of staying close: the dates, the cards, the gift history, repeated quietly all year. One serves an occasion; the other serves a relationship.
Thoughtful is for you if…
You want to remember everyone's everyday occasions, write the card, and keep a memory of what you have given.
MyRegistry is for you if…
You are planning a wedding, baby shower, or milestone and want one universal registry guests can shop from.
