Our 35 Favorite Gifts on SoKind Registry

New Dream's SoKind Registry isn’t like other registries in many, many ways. But one of the major differences between SoKind and traditional gift registries is that you can register for anything you want.

Really. Anything!

You can register for concert tickets, guitar lessons from a talented friend, DIY help, a secondhand stand mixer, a monthly date night, a favorite recipe… you name it, and a SoKind user has probably registered for it!

Here are some real gifts from SoKind registries that we absolutely love:

We designed SoKind as an alternative to the traditional, retail-based gift registries. We wanted to create a platform that allows registrants to receive meaningful, customized gifts from their loved ones while still making the process for the gift givers easy and elegant. And we know we’ve succeeded when we see the amazing gifts that our SoKind users create. 

We hope you’ll join our incredible community of users who want more fun and less stuff!
