s/o Registering

[feistypants]

Where did you register? DH and are starting to discuss options, because we'd like to register before Christmas. I'm overwhelmed with my options!

[estrellita]

We haven't started yet but for sure Target, maybe Babies R Us or Amazon. We only have 1 BBB in the whole state apparently and it's not that close to anyone. I don't really know of any other stores than those.

Amazon and BBB, but I'm waiting to her what MIL wants me to do for 'her shower' too. Right now I just have Amazon as a placeholder.

[busterpup]

with dd we did BRU and Baby Earth. There's no BBB near us, and I had a bad experience with Target for my wedding registry. BRU is obvious, and we did Baby Earth because I wanted cloth diapers and other organic stuff.

[linz]

Target and BRU. We don't have a buy buy baby in town. Most of my items were at Target since they're cheaper but I know some people had trouble finding items in the store.

[gretchenindisguise]

For our first, we registered at BRU.

This time we registered at Target, but I mostly registered so I could get the discount this time.

[christy082]

BRU, Target and Amazon.

[luv2rn4fun]

BRU only. We don't have a BBB nearby and I had so many issues with Target registry for my brother's wedding that I didn't want to go that route. Nice thing about BRU is that they price match everything and we get 10% back when all is said and done.

[bluelikejazz]

Target Only. I like that there are less options to pick from, and we were very happy with them from our wedding.

[miss.colorado]

Only BRU....there's one close to use (and practically everyone else).

[bethaboo]

Target, Amazon and Pottery Barn Kids. Most people bought at Target.

[MrsAggie]

Target and BBB for those that want to order online.

BRU, Target, Pottery Barn Kids, Amazon

I only told people about BRU and Target though. PBK is just to get the discount on hooded towels, and I wanted the discount on Amazon too, since we shop there a ton.

[mandymay]

BRU and Amazon. I really wanted the discount code (that I'll get in two weeks from Amazon) for diapers and some other things.

[mlvmd]

With DS1 we did BRU because that was what was convenient for the people for our shower (different state and people who like to shop in person).

For DS2 we are not having a shower but I still like having a list of things I want to get and the registry completion coupon will be nice. We have BBB and Amazon.

[rachelgreen]

BRU. BBB, & Target. We don't have a BBB near the town I live in but there are a Chicagoland locations and that is where my main shower is.

I might add PBK and Amazon as private ones just to get the completion code discount, lol.

[sillygoosegirl]

Just Amazon. I looked at doing registries at a couple brick-and-mortar stores, but there just wasn't enough stuff I liked at any of them. (We've already been given so many hand-me-downs, we just don't need that much of the "basic" stuff.)

[formerlyllizzyb]

With DS I registered at PBKids, Target, and Amazon.

This time I'm making a registry on Amazon for people who ask.

Buy Buy Baby, Target and Amazon.

One shower (mostly older family members in a very rural community) relied heavily on Target, the other (younger, Internet-savvy friends) relied heavily on BBB.

Really the only people who ordered from Amazon were those who couldn't actually make it to the shower, which I guess makes sense - easy to just get things straight to me. It wasn't used heavily but was probably my favorite place to register just because of the variety available.

This is pretty much exactly what I did, and for the same reasons. We only have eight things on the Amazon list...pretty much just stuff that I had my heart set on (I started by doing one big registry on Amazon, since they have pretty much everything, and then moved stuff off of that one onto either the Target or BBB list), so I pretty much just plan on using my completion discount to get those things.

PBKids and BRU

I am all over the place with my registry. So far BRU, BBB, Amazon and Giggle.

I'm also using myregistry.com if you aren't familiar with that.

It allows you to register for anything anywhere - so if you see something on Etsy or PB or some random boutique you can add it to one registry there.

It also allows you to sync your registry from other places such as Amazon and Giggle.

It does not allow you to sync from BBB or BRU however.

Anyway, I like it because that way I'm not limited to choosing things only from the big box stores.

four years ago, with kid #1, BRU and Target

this time, we really don't need anything, so my registries are more like shopping lists for me for the registry completion coupon. so, amazon, BRU, and PBK.
