Well worth doing.
Good site, easy to use, clear instructions and guidance, clear pricing and options, no nasty hidden surprises.
Regular and prompt communication.
High level of personalisation possible, site is flexible to your needs.
Site looks and performs professionally, slick and stylish.
we were getting marreid having lived together for years, so a conventional gift list was not appropriate. We wanted to buy a camper van so were essentially asking for donations towards that. The Bottom Drawer allowed us to create a bespoke gift list of parts to make up the van. I could write in each part description then put a price on it, so we had gifts from a steering wheel at £20 to an engine block at £500 so there was something for everyone.
It was good fun and everyone loved the idea and it put an enjoyable aspect to people giving us money
no one complained about having difficulty with it
the £89 admin fee on the one hand seems a pain and expensive, but where else could we have done this? So given the service provided and how stress free it was I think its good value

Hi
This is such a great idea - we are looking to ask for money towards a campervan but had not thought of listing individual items - it makes it so much nicer for friends and family. Looks good to do it through The Bottom Draw but I can't decide between this and 'WhatToGive'.
Would you by any chance be willing to share your list of van parts? It would be great to see the options you were able to give.
Thank you.
