How we make money
Holiday Registry is free. There is no subscription, no premium tier, and nothing to buy from us. We make money when you buy a gift from a shop through a link on this site or in the app.
When you buy through links here, we may earn a commission. As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.
What that means in practice
When someone adds a product link to a wish list, we keep that link exactly as they pasted it. When you then click through to buy, we send you to the shop through an affiliate network, which tells the shop we sent you. If you buy, the shop pays us a percentage.
You pay the same price you would have paid going to the shop directly. We never mark anything up, and a commission never changes what price you see.
What it does not mean
- We do not choose what appears on anyone’s wish list. Those are your family’s links, and we do not reorder, substitute, or inject items.
- We do not hide where a link goes. You can see the destination before you click, and the redirect does not disguise that it is an affiliate link.
- We do not put affiliate links in email. Every email we send links back into the app, never straight out to a shop.
- We do not show monetised links to children. Children do not have accounts and never see a shopping surface.
Gift guides
Our gift guides contain affiliate links too, and the same disclosure appears on every one of them. We write about things we would actually give. A shop cannot pay to appear in a guide, and no brand sees a guide before it is published.
Which networks
We work with Amazon Associates and with affiliate networks that represent a large number of other retailers. If a link points to a shop we have no relationship with, it goes through untouched and we earn nothing — which is fine, and happens often.
