We are registering for gifts with Oxfam UK, Bed, Bath & Beyond, Amazon.com, and Scottish Love in Action. Click on their names to be taken to the individual registries.
This is one registry that we are very excited about. Did you ever look at (either or both of) us and think, "Boy, those guys really need a donkey?" Well, now you can give us a donkey, or a goat, or textbooks for 50 kids in Africa thanks to the wonderful folks at Oxfam UK.
Americans can buy off this list using their credit cards (and be billed at whatever today's exchange rate is). We decided to go with Oxfam UK only because we think the individual "things" you can donate make it more fun.
Don't want to buy us a bed, a bath, or even a beyond? Well, it turns out these guys sell lots of other stuff too.
Listed here is fun stuff for our kitchen, including china, and for our home in general.
And for everything that's beyond Bed, Bath & Beyond ... there's Amazon.com. Zoa particularly hopes someone will buy her the kitty jungle gym.
The flowers for our wedding will be done by Robert's aunt, Gillie Davidson, as a fundraiser for Scottish Love In Action -- a Scottish charity which works to feed, house and educate Dalit (or "untouchable" or "outcast") children in India.
As well as being excited about getting the benefit of Gillie's considerable talents as a florist, we would be very keen to see our guests donate to SLA instead of getting us those toaster-tongs you were thinking about.

Bed Bath & no Europeans!
Unfortunately we cannot shop on this site due to not living in the U.s (I live in no state other than a 'State of Bliss') And other details also don't tranlate, do they not want our money?! Any ideas peeps?

Advice For Those In The UK
Drat. As Ross points out, the BBB registry won't allow you to buy online from the UK, even though we specifically made it known to them that we needed that feature when we signed up with them.
This is very disappointing. We have registered a complaint with them, and I want to apologize to anyone who wasted valuable time trying to buy things off this registry for us.
Anyone in the UK who still would like to buy us something from BBB (and there's always someone, isn't there...) should do the following:
Phone the number below and give them the registry number. They'll ask you to confirm our names and the "event date" (ie. when the wedding was). Then tell them what you want to buy us.
Phone: 001 973 785 4333
Registry #: 2614027
Event Date: May 26th, 2007
Our names: You know these
Note that if you're in the USA you can still buy online, or you can phone 1 800 462 3966 and follow the instructions above.
I know this is a case of shutting the barn door after the horse has already been boiled down into glue, but what can you do...?
Oh well.
Sigh.
