To be Pregnant and a Bride Today…
No, not in that order, but I thought it might catch your attention! Did it?
I’m talking about online registries. I remember when the registry at Babies R Us was the neatest thing. Got to the store, zap what you want, and pray someone buys it. Though buying something on someone’s registry was a nightmare. I could never find the exact item they wanted!
Nowadays, it’s all done online. Click, click, click and I’m done. I have a little sister who’s having her first baby and a cousin who’s getting married. They’re both out of state and I won’t be attending their showers, but the internet and gift registries has made it so simple to send gifts!
And have you noticed everyone has a gift registry! Pampered Chef, Macy’s, Bed, Bath & Beyond…Any place that has an online store, probably has a gift registry.
Many years ago I made a gift registry for each of my kids from Toys R Us. I thought it would be easier for parents and family to find gifts for my child and avoid getting duplicate gifts. Though I haven’t used it in years, I’m considering it again, at least for family!
What do you think about gift registries? I think they’re great for baby showers, weddings, and 50th anniversaries, but I’m on the fence about birthdays and Christmas. What do you think?
