eta: i do not do registries.
Just curious - but may I ask why? I am not a parent, but almost all of my girlfriends have multiple kids (and a few now have grandchildren) and they ALL seem to agree about how much they love baby registries, so they don't get a bunch of "cute" or thoughtful, but not-so-necessary items.
because a lot of it is functional. my family is very practical. i try to do thoughtful and practical with whatever theme the baby room is.
that and don't tell me what to do! You're not my mom
I see! Thanks for answering. I was expecting it to be a more unusual answer, maybe something about chains & big box stores.
I kinda get that, too. I recently attended 2 showers for the same expecting couple. First go-round there were tons of "adorable" items on the registry and I picked up a few. Second shower, it was closer to the wire so everything was really functional and practical. I got the mother-to-be some sort of breast cooling pads which was kind of hilarious to me, especially since I barely know her and I know nothing about breastfeeding supplies.1 -
Earplugs and booze. Get the new human a blanket.3

@tinak33 recommended buying diapers through the Amazon Parent Saver Program for our friend's first shower. You choose the #of months to have diapers automatically sent to them, and as the baby grows, her parents can adjust the diaper size.3 -
Always buy something from the registry if they have one. If there there is no registry my go to is zip-up sleepers, size 1 diapers, baby wipes or I bring dinner or takeout one night after they are home.
K8eekins and I are planning on gifting our expectant mum friend with Freshly, otherwise her hubby will have her eating pizza everynight. I need to find something similar for breakfast and lunch too.1 -
