Australian Online Gift Registry Company, 'Thankyou' Pioneering a Global Trend Towards Online Cash Contributions for all Occasions
Melbourne, Australia, October 13, 2010 --(PR.com)-- The internet has changed the way we do nearly everything in modern society, and one trend which has had surprisingly far-reaching impact is that of setting up an online gift registry for baby showers and weddings. In Australia, Thankyou Gift Registry is pioneering the new style of giving which mixes both the personal and practical aspects of selecting gifts for occasions like weddings, new babies and birthdays with a new desire for cash contributions online.
In Australia, Thankyou Gift Registry Services is a niche company pioneering the trend in online cash contribution gift registries that has reached as far as Kenya and India, and branched into many different specializations. Whilst people are still hesitant to ask directly for cash, Thankyou has created an online service that allows people to combine the more traditional style of gift registries with the ability for friends and family to make cash contributions to larger presents such as a honeymoon, large appliances or baby crib, anything that you might usually avoid putting on a registry for the expense of it.
Launched in 2004, Thankyou was the first to move gift registries online in Australia. This trend can can today be seen in the most unlikely of places; The Xinhua Global Times reports that online gift registries are increasingly being used in Kenya, while the Hindustan Times reports that while some stores in Mumbai offer their own gift registry service, the more flexible online versions are far more popular. There are now male-specific wedding gift registries available, as well as registries that allow you to donate to charity in lieu of actually purchasing gifts. Now Thankyou Gift Registry Services has made online cash contributions as easy as possible, picking up on the new trend.
"The future is certainly in cash-contribution gift registries," says Donna English, director of Thankyou Gift Registry Services. "They take the organizational burden out of choosing gifts while still allowing complete flexibility. That's why we see the global spread and increased specialisation that occurs nowadays," Ms. English finished.
Thankyou Gift Registry Services also facilitates the less traditional concept of gift registries for baby showers, engagements, anniversaries and birthdays online, "these sorts of occasions as perfectly suited for the online cash contribution rather than individual gifts," noted Ms English. This is another trend that is increasing rapidly in popularity worldwide.
Thankyou Gift Registry is a wholly internet-based service, and unlike the rest of the new breed of registries, differentiates itself by:
· Managing gifts purchased online
· Allowing recipients to select gifts from any store of their choosing, either online or offline
· Including the ability for guests to make smaller monetary contributions to larger gifts in the form of 'cash contributions'
Gift registries solve a wide range of dilemmas for marrying couples and new parents. They ensure there are no gift double-ups, allow for friends and family to give an 'actual' gift rather than a card or certificate while still being confident that the present is what the receiver wanted.
Increasingly, couples that set up online wedding gift registries are also setting up baby gift registries a few years down the track. Online gift registries are easier to access, manage and coordinate for brides, grooms and parents to be.
