How a Giftella registry works

1
Build it in minutes
Start from the graduation catalog above, paste links from anywhere else, and add cash funds for the things money buys better.
2
Share one link
One beautiful page, one link, one QR code. Works on every phone, with no app or account for your guests.
3
Guests buy direct
They claim a gift so nothing gets doubled, then buy it from the store themselves. No markup, no middleman holding your money.

What actually goes on a graduation registry

A graduation list is really a moving out list. The gifts that matter are the boring ones nobody buys for themselves.

🍳
Apartment basics

Cookware, one real knife, a dish rack, a vacuum and a tool kit. The unglamorous list that makes a first place livable.

🛏️
Sleep and bath

Twin XL for a dorm, full or queen for an apartment. Two sheet sets and towels that are not from home.

💻
Tech

Laptop, headphones, a second monitor, a power bank. This is where the big gifts and the group gifts go.

👔
Interview ready

One blazer, one pair of shoes that survive a commute, and a bag that actually holds a laptop.

💝
Cash funds

Moving truck, security deposit, student loans. Ask for these directly, because people want to help and do not know how.

🎉
One thing that is not practical

Every grad list needs exactly one. Put it near the top.

When to do what

  1. 8 weeks beforeBuild it before announcements go out. Family asks early and buys early.
  2. 6 weeks beforeShare the link inside the graduation announcement.
  3. 3 weeks beforeTop up the under $50 shelf for the wider family and family friends.
  4. After the ceremonyLeave it open through the summer move. The apartment gaps show up in week two.

Questions people ask

Is Giftella really free?
Yes. Building your registry, sharing it and the printable QR poster are all free, with no card required. We earn a small affiliate commission when a guest buys through a store link, at no extra cost to you or them.
Can guests buy from any store?
Yes. Every item links straight to the store it came from, so your guests check out where they already shop and keep their own returns, rewards and delivery.
What happens when two people pick the same gift?
The first guest claims it and it shows as taken for everyone else, so nothing gets doubled. Nobody sees who claimed what unless they tell you.
Can I take cash gifts?
Yes. Add a cash fund and guests can send through Venmo, Zelle or PayPal. The money goes to you directly, never through Giftella.
Can I change the registry after I share it?
Any time. Add, remove and reorder gifts whenever you like. Your link and QR code never change.

Ready when you are.

Your graduation registry takes about five minutes and starts with 56 gifts already picked out.
