(Closed) Quick Registry Question! Please Explain (:

I logged on to our registry to make a quick change and noticed that people have already purchased stuff from our registry!  Someone even bought us a 10 piece KitchenAid cookware set! The thing that’s confusing me is.. we didn’t register for it, but it’s showing up on our registry. It says “Requested: 0 Received: 1”. We were registered for a similar KitchenAid cookware set, but it was a bit more expensive and so I think the person/people got the set without the copper (which is totally fine with me – I didn’t even think anyone would get us such an expensive gift!)

Are guests able to purchase unregistered items under a registry so that other guests know not to get something similar? I just don’t fully understand why it says we’ve received one when we didn’t request it/register for it.

Nevermind (: I just read that cashiers are able to add purchased items to a registry so that other guests know not to get it. The other possibility is that someone bought it at the same time as other stuff from the registry (although I can’t see someone buying a $500 cookware set and other items – $500 is already super generous!). Mystery solved aha!
