There’s a great new international gift registry concept that landed in my inbox last week that I think is just genius and I thought that you might too.

The Lovely Registry is a pinterest-like platform where the celebrator can create their own personal “wish list” website. Here they can upload a personal photo and message for their guests along with images of their heart’s desires from local and international designer and boutique brands via The Lovely’s website or any website. The buyer then “claims” the gift so that there are no double ups and can either purchase the gift directly from the physical store or via the store’s website with an easy “click through” or the buyer also has the option to shop around other stores for the best price.

It comes in five different steel base colours and two different solid ash hardwood top finishes.

Well, unfortunately I’ve been a bit under the weather for a few weeks and have had to do the bare minimum so I simply wouldn’t have been able go out and put the energy into this project as I would like to. New Zealand Month is on hold until early next year however I thought I’d put together a little Christmas gift guide of things I love that are made by clever Kiwis.
