Target Announces New College Registry Program

Every wedding movie has a scene in which the hyper-enthusiastic bride-to-be drags her extremely bored husband around Williams-Sonoma or Bed, Bath, & Beyond, zapping every coffee maker, Panini press and tea-kettle in sight.

Now picture that scene, but replace the bride with a college student. According to Target’s blog, the chain is launching a college registry program, which will go live this June. Unfortunately, it doesn’t yet include registry guns.

Instead, students will use Target’s website to register their school essentials from a variety of categories, like bedding, décor and storage. Their list, which they can update at any time, will be searchable by name. That way, your relatives (and ultra-generous family friends, if you happen to have them) can help you cover the costs of all your must-have college items.

So if you’re tired of getting gifts from Grandma that you never use… this may be the perfect solution.
