Ready, set, register

Dream big
Go ahead and put that fancy stroller or modern highchair on your wish list. Your gal pals may just pool their pennies and go in on it together.

Remember the little things
Choose some budget-friendly items, like burp cloths, baby wash and nursing pads, too, so folks who spend less can gift you something you’ll love.

Go all in
Many stores offer a “completion discount” on the items you registered for but didn’t receive, which means if no one got you that organic changing pad, now is the time to buy it on your own.

Think outside the box
If a big box store doesn’t have everything you’re looking for, consider using a website, such as BabyLi.st or MyRegistry.com, that allows you to compile goods and gear from a variety of retailers into a single registry. It’s the best way to get that comfy glider from Pottery Barn Kids and those irresistible bodysuits from Etsy.
