NetGift Registry Networkputs your gift wishes and those of your friends and family online. The Durham company says the network makes gift giving much easier.
You sign up for the free service and then add names and e-mail addresses to develop a gift circle.
Selecting your hobbies and interests gives gift givers an idea of what you like. You can also enter important dates such as your birthday and Christmas to remind your circle to shop for you.
If you want something specific such as a bicycle, you can select the one you want. NetGift Registry takes shoppers to Internet sites for that product.
Several hundred online merchants are network members offering millions of gift selections, and you can buy gifts for any occasion.
