Della & James, the online gift registry, today announced it raised $45 million from Amazon.com, The Neiman Marcus Group, Crate & Barrel, Williams-Sonoma and investors Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers and Trinity Ventures.

     This holiday season, Della & James will extend its model of bringing together the nation's leading retail brands to registry for all occasions. The Della & James site will enable customers to add items from leading retailers to Della & James wishlists, view other people's wishlists and purchase the best gifts. Neiman Marcus, Crate & Barrel, Williams-Sonoma, Amazon.com and other premier retailers will be featured on Della & James' all-occasion gift registry site.
