Known issues: stores that said no

You can add products from almost any store to your Gift List registry. A few brands, though, have declined to partner with gift registries or actively block registry links. They're listed here — along with similar stores that do work, and easy ways to ask the brand to change their mind.

Brands listen to customers far more than they listen to us. One polite message from a real shopper does more than ten from a registry site. 💌

The message the buttons use (feel free to make it your own):

"Hi! I wanted to add your products to my gift registry on giftlist.ca (Canada's free gift registry), but you're not partnered yet. Would you consider joining? It's free for merchants: giftlist.ca/merchants 🎁"
