Testimonials
The Bottom Drawer has been providing alternative gift list services since 2003. The following are a selection of recent comments received from couples who have used us (all testimonials can be verified and traced back to the original gift list).
May 2010:
"It has been a great service, thank you." Lee & Tim, Southampton
"We received some fantastic feedback from our guests on your site so thank you for that." Stuart & Sophie, London
"Everyone commented on how easy and efficient your site was to use." Samantha & Paul, Richmond
"The Bottom Drawer was recommended to us for a wedding list by friends, and we are so glad that we used you. It was fantastic to be able to put whatever we wanted on the wedding list without being obliged to buy from one company. All of our guests commented on what a great idea it was to break down our honeymoon into small chunks so that everybody could buy us some form of 'experience'. Since sending out our wedding list, we have noticed several of our friends who are also getting married have realised how good this site is and are also going through Bottom Drawer. Congratulations to Bottom Drawer on such a fabulous website and thank you to all your helpful and efficient staff who made the whole process so stress free (which is exactly what you need when planning a wedding!!" Kate & James, Sevenoaks
"We would like to thank you for such a great service, we would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending The Bottom Drawer in the future to friends and family, in fact many of the guests at our wedding have commented what a good idea it was and how easy it was to use so I think you may even get a few referrals from that alone! From the outset I have found the customer service second to none with all queries answered promptly and we always felt that nothing was too much trouble. It really took away the headache of having an actual gift list and we are so glad we made the right decision when picking an alternative gift list company. We researched quite in depth other companies that offer a similar service and you are top of the list on many of the review sites so there are obviously a lot of other people of the same opinion! We certainly didn’t find any that matched your fee (and I am sure customer service) particularly as most companies want to take a percentage of the actual money received unlike yourselves. Once again thank you for all your help over the last few months, I certainly hope to pass on some recommendations in the future." Judy & Sam, Dartford
"Thank you for all your help and I will be suggesting your site to anyone who should have a need for it." Frank & Christina, Liverpool
"Thank you for your excellent service - it was great in every way - every time we called or emailed with questions, you were all great and so helpful. Our guests thought the website was easy and user-friendly. We loved being able to buy across different websites too. Best wishes." Hayley & Jack, Oxford
April 2010:
"Can I just say how tremendously excited we are about our honeymoon tomorrow. I'd also just like to say how much we have appreciated the services you have provided. The wedding list was top class, allowing us to detail the most eclectic gifts which our guests really enjoyed purchasing. Your organisation of our honeymoon has been the most stress free holiday booking we've ever made. I do hope your companies go from strength to strength." Mary & Aran, Bristol
"When setting up our own gift list we struggled to find a list that allowed us to spread our gifts across several stores and consequently, set up several lists with various department stores including John Lewis. Only a few weeks before the wedding, we received an invitation with details of The Bottom Drawer which led us to close our other lists and open a list with The Bottom Drawer. The service is fantastic and our guests have all commented on how efficient and simple it is to purchase through the website. We have been very impressed and will of course recommend The Bottom Drawer to our friends and family." Joanne & Neil, Guildford
"We have found the Bottom Drawer a really easy service to use. We were able to have the perfect gift list for us. We combined some things for the house with spending money for our honeymoon. Our guests (including my Grandma!) found the service really easy to use. They also appreciated being able to get us specific things for our house and honeymoon such as dinner in Boston or a trip up the Empire State Building. In all of our dealings with the Bottom Drawer the staff have been very helpful and professional. However as it worked so well we didn't really need much contact! " Sue & Michael, Manchester
"Thanks once again for excellent service." Niall & Ruth, Aylesbury

"We found this a great option for our wedding list as we live in Germany and most of our family are in the UK, so we couldn't follow the 'traditional wedding list' option. It worked really well for us. Thanks again." Clare & Keith, Bremen, Germany
"Many thanks. We've already been singing your praises and I think
two of our friends have already signed up accordingly, so we've obviously been delighted with your service. Thanks again. It's been very impressive, especially compared to the competition." Chris and Julie, London

"Thanks so much. A good word for your website - every one of them true...For us, the Bottom Drawer was definitely the best solution to our wedding list woes. Peter and I had lived together for nearly 2 years before we got married and there was nothing we really needed. The site allowed us to 'ask for money' without it feeling like we were to our guests - they all knew they were contributing to our fantastic honeymoon, which we were able to book with your other company - Top Drawer Holidays! I will be happily recommending your sites to friends and family who are getting married in the next couple of years. Your help and advice with both the list and the honeymoon have been amazing."

"Thanks for providing a great service." Simon & Jeanette, Southport
"Thank you for all your help with our wedding list, all of our guests have commented on how such a good idea it was, and it enabled us to truly personalise the list without just asking for money. We already had everything we needed for the home, so did not want a normal store gift list. We decided to ask for money towards our honeymoon but felt rude asking people for cash.
The Bottom Drawer allowed us to break down our honeymoon and ask people to contribute 100 air miles or one nights accomodation, or special items such as massages or cruises. So many people commented on how nice it was to buy us a part of our honeymoon, and we could spend the time reflecting on the parts different people purchased. A fantastic idea, that is great value for money." Matt & Abbie, Crawley

As we live abroad it was very difficult for us to select a wedding list, as we didn’t want to use a UK store and ship everything out, nor did we want to select a Hong Kong store and have everyone confused by the prices or worried about exchange rates. The BottomDrawer concept therefore suited us perfectly, as we could include staple items from the home brands like John Lewis, but also include items we would like to by out here from stores like Shanghai Tang. We also appreciated the flexibility of being able to list some of our honeymoon activities such as the game fishing that we couldn’t have included with other services. We would also like to thank you for your time in clarifying our questions in the early stage of our decision process. As you know we were quite concerned about the mechanics of a cash based wedding list within the context of the issues surrounding the stability of other wedding list sites. We were reassured by your answers and appreciated you taking the time to respond in detail to us. Many thanks again." Caragh & Ben, Hong Kong

“I can honestly say that I have found the whole Bottom Drawer experience a real pleasure! Your customer service is exemplary - I have had same day replies for many of my queries (and I had a fair few!), and all other queries have been answered by the following day. I was impressed that you took the time to find alternative suppliers when the original ones did not wish to take on the job (I think the state of our garden must have put them off!). I found setting up of the wedding list page very easy, and was pleased with the end result. I was also nicely surprised by the fact that you emailed me every time a gift was purchased - it was really exciting to see an email from you, and then to log in to see who had bought the present! I got quite hooked on the whole experience!” Samantha & Nick, Caddington
“Thank you for all your assistance with our wedding gift list. We found it very easy to use and had a lot of good feedback from our guests who enjoyed the change from the more common gift lists.
