Registries — Wishlists, Wedding & Baby Gift Pages

Build a public wishlist or gift registry on XYZ.am: pick a theme, add items, share a clean /r/ link, and let friends and family see what you'd love.

What is a Registry?

A registry is a shareable page that lists things you'd love to receive — wedding gifts, baby-shower items, birthday picks, housewarming essentials, or just a personal wishlist. Each registry lives at its own short URL (/r/your-slug), looks polished out of the box, and works on any device without anyone needing to sign up to view it.

  • Theme-styled pages — choose from elegant, festive, minimal, baby-themed and more.
  • Public or private — share with the world, or keep the link unlisted for a small group.
  • Items from anywhere — add product links from any store, with title, price, and notes.
  • One-click capture — use our Chrome or Firefox extension to save products as you browse, then bulk-import them into a registry.
  • Pull from bookmarks — already saved a few products on XYZ.am? Convert them into registry items in one click.
  • Wizard or manual — let the wizard pick smart defaults, or build it yourself field-by-field.

Two Ways to Create a Registry

Guided Wizard Recommended

Five short steps. Pick an occasion (Wedding, Baby Shower, It's a Boy/Girl, Birthday, Anniversary, Housewarming, Holiday, or Custom) and we suggest a matching title and theme. Add a date if you want, choose visibility, review, and you're done.

Start the wizard
Manual Form

Prefer to fill in everything yourself? The classic form gives you direct access to every field — title, slug, event date, description, theme, visibility — on one screen.

Use the manual form

Both flows save to the same place — you can edit any registry from My Registries regardless of how you created it.

Choosing a Theme

Each registry has a visual style that controls fonts, colors, card layout, and accents on the public page. Use the scrollable theme picker to preview each one live before saving — what you see in the picker is what visitors will see at /r/your-slug.

ThemeBest forVibe
elegantWeddings, anniversariesSerif type, refined spacing
festiveBirthdays, holidaysBright, playful accents
minimalPersonal wishlistsClean, low-decoration
cardsGeneral useClassic card grid
midnightModern / darkDark background, high contrast
nurseryGender-neutral baby showersSage & butter pastels
bluebaby"It's a boy" showersPowder blue + clouds
pinkbaby"It's a girl" showersBlush pink + cream
You can change the theme any time from the registry's Edit dialog — it doesn't affect your items or the public URL.

Adding Items

Once a registry exists, open it from My RegistriesManage Items. You can add items two ways:

  1. Paste a product URL. Provide a title, the link to the product page, optionally a price, image URL, and notes. Visitors see a clickable card that opens the store in a new tab.
  2. Import from your bookmarks. Already saved your dream items as XYZ.am bookmarks? Use Build from Bookmarks to convert them into registry items in bulk — no copy-pasting URLs.
Fastest workflow: Browser Extension → Bookmarks → Registry

Install our official browser extension and you can save any product you spot while shopping in a single click. When you're ready, jump into Build from Bookmarks and convert the lot into a registry — no manual copy-pasting.

  1. Install the extension for your browser (links below).
  2. Browse normally. Click the XYZ.am icon on any product page to save it.
  3. Open Build from Bookmarks and tick the items you want in this registry.
  4. Click Add to Registry — done.

Items can be reordered, edited, or removed at any time. There's no hard cap on item count, but for the best browsing experience we suggest keeping a single registry under ~50 items.

Sharing Your Registry

Every registry has a public URL based on its slug:

https://xyz.am/r/your-slug
  • Public registries — visible to anyone with the link, and may appear in search engines if you let crawlers index it.
  • Private registries — the page returns "not found" unless visited via the exact link. Send the URL by message, email, or invite — anyone without the link can't see it.
  • Slugs are editable — change the slug from the Edit dialog. The old URL stops working immediately, so update anywhere you've shared it.
  • QR codes — pair the registry URL with our QR code generator to put it on a save-the-date or shower invite.

Tips & Best Practices

  • Set an event date so visitors see how much time they have.
  • Write a short welcome message in the description — it appears at the top of the public page.
  • Mix price ranges so guests with different budgets always have an option.
  • Add an image URL where possible — image cards convert visitors much better than text-only ones.
  • Keep the slug short and easy to spell out loud (e.g. /r/jamie-and-sam).
  • Preview from a phone before sharing — most guests will open the page on mobile.

Frequently Asked Questions

No. The public registry page is fully open — visitors just click the link and browse. Only you (the owner) need to be signed in to edit items or change settings.

Yes — create as many as you like. They're listed together on the My Registries page and each has its own slug, theme, and items.

Not at this stage. XYZ.am registries link out to wherever the item is sold — we don't take payments and we don't yet mark items as "purchased". Track gifts however you currently do (email, spreadsheet, etc.).

Yes. Open the registry's Edit dialog and toggle Public. The change takes effect immediately on the public page.

Creating registries is included with your XYZ.am account. See Free vs. Premium for the latest limits on number of registries and items per plan.
