Need Help? Check our Gift Registry FAQs
We've made the Gift Registry easy for you to use. If you're stuck, or need assistance, check the FAQ's below.
Setting up a registry
Step One - Log in and get started
To create your gift registry you'll need to log into your store account. If you don't have an account, you can create one here. Once you've logged into your account, you can either select "Gift Registry" from the account section or click on the "Gift Registry" link in the top right of the header.
Once you've done this click the big, green "Create Registry" button.
Creating a registry profile
Once you've got to the Gift Registry page, you'll need to complete your profile. This section contains your registrant information and your profile. You can also add a shipping address at this step.
Step Two - Create a Registry Profile Personalise your registry with your own name, message and photo so friends and family know it's yours and so you can share details about the exciting times ahead. You can add your own message, choose a name and even add a photo if you want. The information is controlled by you, so you can choose to add as much or as little as you like. Only you and anyone you share the link with will be able to see these details as your registry can only be accessed via your unique link. You can change your registry profile details at any time.
Registry Name: You can name your registry anything you like. A common registry name is "Welcoming Baby Smith" or "Jemma's Baby Shower"
Event Date: You can put any future date you like. Many people will use the baby's expected arrival date or the date of their baby shower, however we advise choosing a date slightly after baby's expected arrival date. Your registry will be automatically closed on the "event date" you choose. You'll still be able to access the registry and view items, but you won't be able to add more items to it, so we recommended allowing some additional time after your event date, in case you want to add anything else. You can change the date at any time until your registry is closed.
Message: Add a message for your friends and family to see. You may want to include details of a baby shower, mention brother's or sister's or thank people for their support.
Photo: Choose any photo you want to accompany your registry. You can change this at any time. Remember people can only access your registry if you've sent them a link. If you don't want to choose a photo, a default will be selected for you.
Step 3 - Add your Registrant Information
The "registrant" is the person who owns the registry. Usually this is the person who creates the registry, but it could be a friend or family member on behalf of the mother to be. You must have an account to create a registry and you will access your registry through your store account, so please be mindful of this when creating a registry on behalf of someone else.
Step 4 - Add your shipping information

What does "event date" mean?

Are gifts sent directly to the recipient?
As the buyer, you can choose to have your gift sent to an address of your choice or directly to the recipient. During the checkout process you will be asked whether you want to send ypur gift directly to the recipient. If you select "yes" it will populate their address automatically. If you prefer to have it sent elsewhere, that's absolutely fine, just type in your preferred address. If you are choosing to send directly to the recipient, we highly recommend adding a card so they know who the gift is from! You can add a card (or card and gift wrap) at checkout. If you live in Auckland, you can also choose to "Click & Collect" the gift from our West Auckland warehouse.
Will gifts be wrapped?
Gifts are not wrapped by default to save on waste and to also allow you, as the buyer, the choice of wrapping your own gift. We do offer a Gift Wrapping service and you can add this at checkout. We have a number of options to choose from, starting from $2 for a card. If you are sending your gift directly to the recipient, we highliy recommend adding a gift card with a message so the recipient knows who the gift is from!
Can I add a gift that isn't listed on the registry?
If you would like to purchase an additional item, that isn't on the registry list, please place a separate order so that the gift registry updates correctly.
Do I need to have an account to place an order?
You can choose to order as a guest or create an account. There are many benefits to creating an account - you can log in to track your item once it's been shipped and you can earn loyalty points on all your purchases. You'll also get 100 points as a welcome bonus for signing up - that's worh $5! Find out more information on our SleepPoints Loyalty Program.
