GiftRegistry360.com Allows Couples to Add Any Product from Any Retailer on to One Convenient List

NEW YORK (May 12, 2010) – The Knot Inc. (www.theknot.com; NASDAQ: KNOT), the leading lifestage media company, today announced the launch of GiftRegistry360.com (www.giftregistry360.com), a brand new one-stop registry service that enables brides to add products from the nation’s leading retailers, such as Macy’s, Target, Crate & Barrel, Williams-Sonoma and The Home Depot, as well as any online store, all on to one single, easy-to-manage list from which gift givers can seamlessly purchase.

“GiftRegistry360.com is the future of gift registries, particularly wedding registries,” said Kristin Savilia, senior vice president of Ecommerce and Registry at The Knot Inc. “Today’s couples create a wedding registry at an average of three retailers, making the current process of managing and shopping from multiple wedding registries tedious for couples and their wedding guests. GiftRegistry360.com provides couples with the simplicity and flexibility they want while simultaneously making it easier for wedding guests to locate and shop from online and in-store registries.”

GiftRegistry360.com Key Features

• Anything, Anywhere, One List. Brides can add products from any favorite retailer, such as Macy’s, Crate & Barrel, The Home Depot, Williams-Sonoma or Target, or browse by category to find everything needed for kitchen, dining, bed and bath and more, and add it to one single registry list. Wedding guests can then easily search and purchase wedding gifts all on one convenient list.

• Link & Sync Existing Registries. A one-of-a-kind Link & Sync feature enables brides to merge existing wedding registries from participating partners into a single registry list that is easy to manage and makes it convenient for guests to shop. Purchases made through GiftRegistry360.com are automatically updated on the retailer’s website and in-store registry list and on GiftRegistry360.com, making the registering process seamless.

• Add Products from Anywhere on the Internet. An “Add to GiftRegistry360.com”bookmarking tool allows brides to add a product from any website on to their GiftRegistry360.com list, freeing them from sticking to products only available at the stores where they have existing registries.

• View & Create Styleboards. With this unique feature, users can easily drag and drop products on to a virtual canvas to see how different products fit together before adding them on to their registry list. Couples can also comment and share on each other’s Styleboards, adding an element of community to registering.

• Share Your Registry List. Brides can automatically share their gift registry list with wedding guests via a widget that can be integrated into any social networking website-includingpersonal wedding websites, Facebook profiles and blogs-allowing guests to effortlessly access a user’s GiftRegistry360.com list.
