gift registry information

A gift registry at Totem offers a more thoughtful way to receive. Instead of ending up with gifts chosen without context, friends and family are able to contribute towards pieces you have selected for your home - whether that is a dining table, a set of glasses, or a collection of various items.

What makes it different is the way it is handled. We help you shape the selection, create a dedicated registry link or digital registry card to share, track contributions as they come in, and coordinate delivery once pieces are fully funded or purchased. The process is designed to feel personal from the beginning, and easy for the people giving.

Why register with Totem

Contribute towards larger pieces - Furniture is a significant purchase. Your registry allows friends and family to contribute towards larger items, making it possible to receive pieces that might otherwise have felt out of reach.

A registry shaped around your home - Selections are built around what you actually want to live with, from furniture and lighting to objects, textiles, and tableware.

A simpler way for others to give - We provide a dedicated online link or digital registry card, making it easy for friends and family to track and contribute in a way that feels clear and organised.

One coordinated delivery - Rather than receiving items in bits and pieces, we coordinate a single delivery once your registry comes together.

A thank you from us - To mark your occasion, we offer a closing gift from Totem, which may include store credit, preferential pricing on items not fully funded, a home styling session, or a complimentary gift from our scent studio.

important to know

Registry reserve period - Each registry runs within a defined reserve period of 45 days from date of initiation.

One piece or several - A registry can be opened for a single item or for a broader selection of pieces for the home.

Availability of stock - Registries are built from pieces currently in stock and available at the time the registry is opened.

Contributions are not redeemable as cash - All contributions made towards a registry are applied to pieces selected through the registry and cannot be withdrawn or given to the registrant as cash.

Partially funded items - Items that are not fully funded by the close of the registry may either be topped up by the registrant or converted to store credit towards another item.

how to start a registry

If you are considering a gift registry with us, the best place to begin is with a visit to our showroom. This gives you the chance to see pieces in person, get a sense of scale, finish, and pricing, and begin shaping a selection that feels right for your home and the occasion. From there, we can guide you on what to include, how the registry will be shared, and the best way to structure it. Alternatively, you can reach out to us via WhatsApp for a one on one consultation.
