First, it is important to understand that MyRegistry.com is not the store that you purchase the item from, but rather the registry that the items are listed on. Through our website, we can direct you to all of the stores that carry the items listed on your friend's registry, but keep in mind that MyRegistry.com does not sell products to you directly.   Once you are directed to a store, you must complete the purchase transaction on the store’s website.  When you find an item you want to purchase on your friend's registry, click the 'View or Buy This Gift' button.  You'll see a new web page on top of the store’s website where MyRegistry.com asks you to report if you purchased the item or not. If you have purchased the item, you'll have several options to choose from under the ‘Yes’ section. By selecting one of the ‘Yes’ options and clicking on ‘Submit’, that gift will become unavailable for others to buy. If you select one of the ‘No’ options and click submit or do not answer at all, that gift will remain available on the registry.
