    Hi Bees, does anyone know if there is any way to see who purchased which gift on the online Target registry manager?  I am an English teacher, and as such deal pretty much in dusty old books, not websites.  Am I missing an obvious link, or does it not exist?  I would like to write thank-yous as soon as I see gifts have been purchased.

    Thanks!

    I don't believe there is a way to tell who purchased what; just what has been purchased.

    Nope, not with Target.  Macy's does that though.

    Yeah I second CaraMia -- I think you can only see if an item has been purchased, but not who purchased it.  It's a great idea to get a jump on thank yous, though.  Maybe you could *start*  a thank you note for each gift, then go back and add the name and a bit of personalizing to each card.  Such as....

    Dear Aunt Sue,

    Thank you so much for the lovely flatware you purchased for us!  It is going to get a lot of use and we look forward to having you over to enjoy it with us.  It was nice seeing you and I hope you and Uncle Bob enjoyed Hollywood.... etc.

    Writing something like the bolded parts first, and adding something like the non-bolded later could still save you time if you really want to do your thank yous "ahead" of time. :)

    @piglet_625: I don't think that would work though.  Because what if Aunt Sue and Uncle Bob bought you both the flatware (just taking your example) AND a plate set and picture frame (very generous Aunt and Uncle - but you get the idea - multiple gifts from one person).  By your method, you would have 3 thank you notes started that should all be one thank you note.

    @mundaetraversa: I'm almost positive there is no way to tell (and personally I think that kind of ruins the fun/surprise of getting gifts - its one thing to know what has been bought; it a whole other thing to know exactly who it is coming from).  Just wait until you get things (some stuff will be sent to you pre-wedding) and start thank yous as you receive items to trim down what you'll have to do post-wedding.

    You can call customer service and they'll tell you who bought what.

    FutureKMM... very, very good point.  I didn't think about that haha... good thing I haven't started yet, or else I might have been tempted to do that!  It worked so well in my mind... :)

    Good stuff to know. We're registered at BB&B, Macys, and Target. My shower is about a month away so I'm sure I'll be registry stalking soon.
