    Our experience of using The Bottom Drawer was excellent. We only had 3 months between getting engaged and our wedding day so time was of the essence. It was great to be able to do everything online and not to be restricted to one shop. Our queries were answered quickly and clearly and we had positive feedback from our friends and family who used the website. It would have been good to know earlier on (i) that ordering items online with The Bottom Drawer's partner retailers (but paying for them in store) does not count towards the 90% you must spend in order not to pay the administration fee; (ii) that you have to cover any delivery charges from the various retailers. Thank you!

    For us, the Bottom Drawer was definitely the best solution to our wedding list woes. Peter and I had lived together for nearly 2 years before we got married and there was nothing we really needed. Super easy to set up and use and the site allowed us to 'ask for money' without it feeling like we were to our guests. They all knew they were contributing to our fantastic honeymoon, which we were able to book with their sister company at a bargain rate - The Top Drawer, thus waiving the fee too! I se ...

    Awesome service. Very easy to setup and send to people. Loved everything about it! I can't recommend it enough. Other sites charge a % of the final gift list where bottom draw charge a small one off few. Everyone who saw it thought it was a great idea!

    We had our wedding list with Bottom Drawer and really enjoyed the flexibility of the site. The site looks good, is easy to use and it's a pretty minimal fee for what you get. We also were able to order up nice looking wee cards for guests at no extra cost - everything related to Bottom Drawer is very professional looking. Many of our friends and family commented on how they liked the site and it gave us the chance to have sensible and more fun gifts from different suppliers instead of committ ...

    I've just used Bottom Drawer for my wedding list. I have to say the whole experience was stress free (about the only thing which was in my wedding preperations) from beginning to end and I can fully recommend them. I particularly liked the fact that there is a flat fee for the service. My guests all made a cash contribution towards things we could do on our honeymoon and this would have been an 8% charge from most similar providers. I personaly prefer to just pay a set amount for the service.

    The Bottom Drawer was so easy to use, all transactions were completed with no problem at all, customer service was excellent at all times and the flexibility and originality was commented on by all of our wedding guests. We can't thank them enough for making the process so enjoyable, quick and easy. It was perfect! We have 3 friends getting married next year and have already recommended them all to use this. Exceptional!

    I was very impressed by the overall servive Bottom Drawer offered.

    It was the perfect gift list for what we needed.

    The site was easy to use for guests and for us to setup.

    They are easy to contact and you get a response quickly.

    I would definately recommend them to Family and Friends.

    The Bottom Drawer provide a great service for people who would like cash to buy their own gifts for a wedding or any other big event. We wanted to use cash donations for a honeymoon but didn't want to be tied in with a particular travel provider and instead just shop around for the best deal. We used The Bottom Drawer to create 'gifts', for example - a couples massage, champagne on arrival, dinner for two etc which gives the contributor the feeling that they are buying more of a tangible gift, a ...

    We have been so pleased with The Bottom Drawer. I have friends who have used wedding gift sites and had to pay 9% of the guests money to pay for the use of the site, which can amount to a lot of money. Whereas this site is just a final payment of £69 when they transfer the funds to you, which was a quick and easy process once I'd deactivated the site.
    It was also very easy to set up and the guests found it easy to use. They were always quick and helpful when I asked them anything. I wo ...

    The Bottom Drawer gives a very personal service, and helpful. The website was at times slow and crashed once but had lots of good information and services. I really loved being able to personalise my page and get friends to enjoy giving me money. We got the money easily and smoothly with no problems. Every time i emailed i got a reply on the same day.

    We already had everything we needed for the home, so did not want a normal store gift list.

    We decided to ask for money towards our honeymoon but felt rude asking people for cash.
    The Bottom Drawer allowed us to break down our honeymoon and ask people to contribute 100 air miles or one nights accomodation, or speacial items such as massages or cruises.
    So many people commented on how nice it was to buy us a part of our honeymoon, and we could spend the time reflecting on the parts different peo ...

    Very self-explanatory website - all questions about the service and how you use it answered in the FAQs section. Very user-friendly, simple to set up your list through the bottom drawer and to access and edit it as you go. Really like the fact that you're not just restricted to the 'featured products/websites' but that you're able to list whatever you want and use the website purely as a host. The process of retrieving your money at the end was also very easy, with no hassle and quickly able to ...

    There is no greater proof that most people are fed up with traditional, limited wedding list than to see how many people commented on how refreshing our wedding gift list was with the Bottom Drawer. These days, when people tend to have lived together and accumulated all the crockery and taosters they need, the last thing you need if you are getting married is a list of more of the same. it was also fantastic that people could choose more meaningful and personal gifts (for example a tree) as mos ...

    We have had the best experience with Bottom Drawer. Not only was it really easy to add presents to our wedding list, the administration afterwards was incredibly simple and we are now enjoying our wedding gifts that have come from a number of leading stores. There were some stressful parts to organising our wedding, but not our gifts. This was possibly the easiest part of the whole event.
    We will be recommending Bottom drawer to all of our friends and colleagues. In fact we've already successfu ...

    I used Bottom Drawer for my wedding gift list back in 2007 and they were as helpful then as they are now. I couldn't have asked for a more friendly team to assist me with ideas for my gift list and then the assistance to set it up. A lot of my guests were impressed by the idea as well and have said they will be using Bottom Drawer when they get married.
    The prompt for my review now (2009) has come from a request I made recently to Bottom Drawer for a print out of my gift list. Even though I ha ...

    We were worried about using an Internet company for our gift list, since we signed up not long after a high profile bankruptcy of an Internet gift lift firm. However The Bottom Drawer sent us a long and detailed email that put our minds at ease.The process of setting up the list was little arduous, but I doubt it could be made any easier. The ability to break down our honeymoon into small chunks was great and enabled our guests to feel like they were giving us individual gifts, not just cash.Eve ...

    The Bottom Drawer has a huge choice of suppliers, not just including the usual high street shops/ wedding list stores
    definitely recommended as it is the only site of this type that i am aware of.

    much better than having a wedding list with a limited choice from one store

    We are an Italian couple living in UK: we got married in Italy and this was the only way we could get presents here, but still letting the people choose what they want to give. The BottomDrawer staff has been very friendly and helpful and we would recommend it to any couple because it gives so much freedom of choice compared to just one single shop!
