How to use the registry

This FAQ provides information about how the registry works and how to use it.

 

 

What happens to any left over cash in my registry?

Any money worth $100 or less that is  left in your registry can be donated to Kids & Art Foundation or  will be reimbursed to you in the form of a Mishkalo gift card.

Mishkalo will issue a gift card for the remaining amount left in your registry for future purchases. The reason we cannot offer you a refund in cash is that the money has been paid for by your guests on a certain pretext. Therefore, we want to honor our original commitment to your guests and not turn Mishkalo into a cash collection registry.
