Book Review: Why Not Me? by Mindy Kaling

We were thrilled to read an excerpt from Mindy

Kaling’s new book Why Not Me? in which she expresses, in the hilarious way only Mindy can, her issues with the honeyfund. Mindy is a lover of pretty household gifts wrapped in a bow. We get it! Lucky for Mindy and those who share her sentiments, honeyfund’s recent partnership with major retailers like Macy’s, Target and Pottery Barn allows couples to link store registries right to their Honeyfund page! That means more choices for gift givers.

And, since Honeyfund can be used for any type of wish list, we had some fun imaging what her (now engaged!) character Mindy Lahiri would put on a registry list. And of course we put plenty of house-helpful items on the linked Macy’s registry! www.honeyfund.com/wedding/dannylovesmindy

Honeyfund Hack: Add your Store Registries!

To link your own store registries to your Honeyfund, simply login and click Edit > The Registry. Then scroll all the way down. All you have to do it type in the name of the store and paste your registry link. Voila!
