Where was I looking?

My ideal registry is a website I can go to where I could register for products from any website. I thought I had done a good job searching this out but apparently I was wrong. I was telling my friend Jeremy that I would actually pay a small fee (around $10) to be able to use such a website when he told me it existed. WHAT?!?!

Turns out he's right and I'm so sad I didn't do a better job searching online. The site is call Wishpot. Apparently you install a Wishpot button on your browser and when ever you come across an item you like and want to register for, you just hit the button and it adds it to your registry. The site also let's guests search for the best price for the product. Obviously there are some disadvantages, like perhaps getting a gift from a site with a not so good exchange/return policy.

The reason I really wanted to register on a site like this is because as far as decorative pieces go, Crate and Barrel and Amazon aren't completely my style. There some beautiful pieces on Etsy I'd love to register for. Also CB2 and number of others where I only like 4 or 5 of their products.

Oh well. What can you do? We've already changed registries and let family and friends know where we're registered.

Has anyone used Wishpot or a similar site? Is it as good as it sounds?
