When we were getting married I didn't think of a registry until a friend asked (it could've been Emma H.) about ours. Eek! Where to go where to go? So the hunt began for gifts we wanted, and not just any gifts, but an equal number of ethical gifts and non-ethical essentials from the hubby's favourite department store--John Lewis.I also had to consider what would be convenient for both US & UK guests (we asked the Italia-bound guests just to bring themselves as that was gift enough).
You could imagine how easy it was to go onto John Lewis and click everything. TOO EASY for my liking, so I had to stop and move onto the ethical side. As I typed the obvious into Google--ethical wedding gift registry--quite a few online stores came up. Some of them did not have their registry set up at the moment, and those that did have their registries up and running were confusing, not consumer friendly, or didn't have things that I liked.
However, there were those few that stopped me dead in my tracks and caused me to go slightly overboard, so much so that I ended up featuring some of the registries I had set up onto our wedding website. We even managed to find fairtrade bedsheets from John Lewis, which we immediately added to our list. What follows is a list of a few really great ethical registry sites we are happy to promote.
