Let’s face it; registering for your new baby (or babies) is…FUN!!! The thrill of zapping every barcode and registering for things you’re not even sure you need (because as a first time Mom you often DON’T KNOW what you will actually need and use the most!) but the primal/nesting need to scan EVERYTHING…is hard to deny; it’s empowering…and let’s not even get started on when you hand the zapper to your partner!
Whether it’s your first baby and you’re zap-happy or whether it’s baby number 4 and you feel it’s not necessary (or proper etiquette to register), there are ALWAYS things you need or that may make your life a little easier. And honestly, people may want to buy your little baby/babies (and their older siblings) something (regardless of what you say!) so steering them in the direction of your needs/wants is a great idea and can be a win-win!
And thanks to the beautiful age of technology we live in, we are no longer confined just to Big Box stores to register; we can venture outside of that and register for items on Etsy (hand-made items), or products from small business and Mom-owned businesses; they are all within our reach and CAN be on our registry!! If your desire is to have all-natural wooden toys for your children; you can! In the same way, if you are looking for a better/bigger variety of baby carriers, the web is now your baby carrying playground! And if you want to explore your diapering options, you can register for EVERY diaper (disposable to cloth to hybrids) under the sun!! And here are a couple of your options:
Amazon has made a really great registry that allows you to add ANY Amazon product to it AS WELL as any item found on the web (outside of the Amazon market)! So in essence, Amazon has made a portal for syncing all the products you’ve seen online and organizing them in one nice and neat registry that is super easy to download, update and share!
MyRegistry.com is another option that ALSO syncs ALL your online desires into one registry, with the added bonus of ALSO syncing your existing Big Box retailer registry like the one you created at Target, or Macy’s…THAT’S pretty cool! Oh..and they have an App for iPhones and Android that allows you to scan ANYTHING while you are out and about and adds it to your registry…pretty sweet!
Both of these registry tools make it easy to have all/most of your desired items in one concise registry! It’s a great starting point and road map for your friends, family and loved ones who want to buy something for you and the baby (and by ALL means…add something(S) to the registry for yourself…*COUGH* like a Hot Mama Gown
