Gift purchases is one of the more powerful features of the Gift Registry. It's so easy for people to buy the same gift for someone, especially children (since they tend to get many gifts from many people). This can be prevented or greatly reduced by using the Gift Registry. When you have purchased a gift from someone's list, then you check it off as purchased and it will show in their list to everyone as crossed off and not available for anyone else. Of course, the person you purchased the gift for will not see the gift crossed off while viewing their own list. If you have not yet purchased a gift for someone, but see a gift idea on their list that you like, you can check it off as purchased as a way of reserving it for yourself (to purchase for them). If later you decide not to get the gift, you can then "unpurchase" it and allow other people to get the gift for that person.
