When I was pregnant with Lily, I created the traditional baby registry at a big baby store. Zach and I spent hours with a scanner looking through the entire store scanning everything and anything we thought we might need for our little girl. Later on, I went home and added things we missed thinking of all the baby registry essentials ( believe me- there are so many of them!).
One of the things we actually weren’t super excited about was we had many recommendations for various items from different brands, but the baby store we used with Lily didn't have some of these items that we were excited about. I’m so excited to share my experience after having our second about this amazing baby registry dream called Babylist
One of the reasons why I adore Babylist is that it incorporates unique items from small businesses and boutiques as well as the big box items that you see in the big baby retail stores. To me, the only way to find truly unique items is by supporting hard working individuals across the country by shopping small for your little ones. Babylist allows you to add any product from any store including Etsy and Ebay to your registry in addition to items from major retailers, and it allows them all to be showcased in one place! You’re also able to register for things such as home cooked meals, babysitting help and other services! Find out more here
Once you add everything you'd like on your list, you're able to share your custom Babylist registry link with your friends and family members. There is an app that you can use to bookmark the items you’re interested in. It’s similar to how you would pin items on Pinterest. Your friends and family members are able to reserve your gifts and order directly from the sites you registered on. Did you know that Babylist is actually free, meaning it's free to sign up, add items, and free for your friends to purchase from your list.
