When should I start planning my baby registry? Before, during or after the pregnancy?
In Italy, mums prefer to wait until after three months of pregnancy out of superstition, and they usually create their baby registries between the seventh and the ninth month. However, our advice is to start thinking about it well in advance: you can turn the baby registry planning into a good way to prepare and "accompany" the couple throughout the entire pregnancy. When the new mum checks in to the hospital, everything at home must be ready and done for her coming back home with the newborn child! Even if for luck many relatives suggest that the father-to-be goes shopping for the cradle and the stroller only once the mum enters hospital, we recommend you to accomplish this task before, since a mum in labour will be needing the full support of her partner and the couple will want to focus only on their child and on the very precious moment they are living. Last but not least, it is not recommended to leave the whole nursery furniture shopping for after the pregnancy, since the new mother is often very tired and needs some rest; also, after giving birth she may not feel like spending the whole day going shopping! In conclusion, the sooner the better for everyone, so that the parents-to-be can savor the moment to the full, knowing that everything they need is at their fingertips and they have nothing to worry about.

How do I receive my gifts?
With Given2, you will be able to add to your list everything you wish for (both real and invented gifts) and choose your “Gift Receiving Service” payment options among:
Bank transfer (optional): guests will receive an e-mail with your bank details in order to pay for the gift via bank transfer. If their bank provides fee-free transfers, no extra cost will be added.
>> Example: Gift costs € 100 > You will receive € 100 > Guest will pay € 100
Credit Card (optional): guests will pay right away on the website via their own credit card. Money will automatically be transferred to your bank account within 7 days with no extra fees. In this case, the credit card circuit (Visa, Mastercard, Amex) adds a transaction fee (EU 1.8% + 0,35¤ / Amex and Non-EU 3.4% + 0,35¤). Of course, said fee will be shown before payment checkout.
>> Example: Gift costs € 100 > You will receive € 100 > Guest will pay € 102.19 > Visa will receive € 2.19
On our website, online payments via credit card are secured by A+ HTTPS protocol.
NOTE: it is possible to take charge of guests' transaction fees.
PayPal (optional): guests will pay online via their own PayPal account; you will receive the money directly on your PayPal account. PayPal adds a transaction fee 3.8% (3,4% + 0,35¤). Of course, said fee will be shown before payment checkout.
>> Example: Gift costs € 100 > You will receive € 100 > Guest will pay € 103.88 > PayPal will receive € 3.88
Online payments are secured by PayPal.
NOTE: it is possible to take charge of guests' transaction fees.
Cash gift (optional): guests will prepare an envelope containing cash or a check, and then they will hand-deliver it on the day of your event (easier for the elderly). Of course, no extra fees are required, except the money needed for the guest to buy the envelope!
>> Example: Gift costs € 100 > You will receive € 100 > Guest will pay € 100
Purchase of the Gift (optional): guests will receive an e-mail containing the gift delivery instructions and the link to the e-commerce of the chosen gift (usually Amazon). In this case, you will not receive money, but a concrete gift.
Therefore, all these options are “money gifts” except for the Purchase of the Gift.
If you enable the Purchase of the Gift, this option will be displayed among the others available for your guests only if:
- The gift you chose is linked to an e-commerce;
- The gift is “whole” (not divided in parts), or, if divided in parts, the guest should select 100% of said parts.
