When you're making decisions that involve guiding your friends and family to the gifts you desire to start the next step in your life, you don’t have to settle for the most popular or common registries. These online sites are just as organized as the leading department stores with product imagery, descriptions that include material lists with their origins and online registry accounts with customer service available to answer any questions. Not just for eco-aware couples, all newly engaged can use these registries for quality products, such as durable kitchen sets made from porcelain, glass and stainless steel; linens made with fair trade materials and mattresses made from organic fibers. Plus, if you love wooden décor or overseas themes, there's endless inspiration for worldly gifts and furniture. Consider these five online green registries to find items that you will last longer, have less impact on our planet and improve the welfare of others.
