How do I register?
Simple! Click on the "Register for free!" button on the home page. You will be asked to fill in a simple form. You will then receive an email at the email address you registered with, with an activation link (so we can be sure that it is actually you who is registering, and not someone else posing to be you!).

I forgot my password. What do I do?
No worries! Just click on the "Forgot Password" link on the home page. You will be asked to enter the email address you registered here. You will then get an email message with a link where you can choose a new password.
I did not get an activation email. What do I do?
No problem! There is a "Resend activation link" option on the home page. Click it and you will be asked to enter your registered email address. The activation email will then be sent to this email address again.
Why can't I see anything on the home page?
To be able to correctly view the site you need to have Flash Player installed. Please make sure you have this.
Can anyone in the world see my lists?
Its up to you! When you create your list, only the people listed as your Friends will be able to see it. But you are given a choice of allowing anyone to see your list. You can also set a password for a particular list. This will only allow those people who know your password to access this list (even your friends). You will need to give this password to the necessary people yourself.
How do I know who reserved something on my list?
At Make You Happy, we love surprises... and so we believe it's no fun if we show you who has reserved an item on your list. All the data is stored by us though. So, if there is a problem and you need to know who reserved you that special something we can provide you the data on special request./td>
I did not get things that were reserved on my list! What can I do?
We're terribly sorry to hear that. But Make You Happy is not responsible for delivering any gifts. It is the responsibility of the person who reserves the item to make sure they buy it and have it delivered to you. Our job is to make sure your friends know what you really want!
How do I let my friends know that I have a list on Make You Happy?
You can invite as many people as you want, just by entering their email addresses in the "Invite Friends" section, once you've logged in. If these friends are already registered with us, then they will automatically be able to see your list when they login. The friends who have not yet registered with us will get an email message from Make You Happy saying that you have invited them to join. Once they do so they too will be allowed to view you lists.
