How to Avoid Stress While Building your Baby Registry

One of the most exciting parts about expecting a baby is getting to build the baby registry. It’s so much fun to look at all the adorable baby clothes, picturing your little one wearing them, while checking out all the cool new baby products and fantasizing about decorating the dream nursery you’ve been envisioning since forever. But as you start actually putting items on your gift list, you start to realize just how much stuff you need. And it’s difficult to get everything you need at just one retailer, so the stress can build up pretty quickly.

Not too long ago, the only way to register for everything you needed meant creating a bunch of baby registries at a bunch of different stores and then having to juggle them all. And that’s the last thing you want (or need) to be focusing on when you have more important matters at hand … like the fact that you have a baby on the way! So, what do you do? Luckily, today you can create a free universal baby registry at MyRegistry.com.

The term universal means you have one baby registry that you can fill with items from literally any store in the world. Think your favorite onesies from Target, organic baby soap from your local baby boutique, handmade toys from Etsy, and that incredibly well-priced stroller from Amazon. Yep, at MyRegistry.com, you can put them all together on one list so that your guests can shop with ease.

It eliminates the hassle of having to keep track of all those registries. Instead of sending your friends and family to a bunch of different places and bombarding them with a bunch of different online store registries, you can just send them one link. Plus, you don’t have to worry about being double-gifted, or not getting everything you want or need.

However, we can’t say there aren’t any benefits to opening up store registries directly. A ton of major retailers offer some pretty sweet baby registry perks, such as free gifts when certain items are bought off your registry, exclusive coupons and sales, and 10%-20% completion discounts. You might have even already opened a registry or two, and that’s okay. The great news is that with MyRegistry.com, you can sync all your existing store registries to your universal gift list. It’s a win-win for you and your guests; not only do you get to take advantage of those awesome perks, you still get to keep everything organized in one convenient place, which is easier on you and your guests.

How does it all work? The revolutionary MyRegistry.com “Add to Registry” button. It’s easy to install on your desktop browser (just click and drag it from their website), and then use it when you’re on any retail site. Whether you’re on Walmart.com or a small online boutique site, just press the button when you’re on the desired product page, and it’s added!

Or, if you still want the old school scanning experience (and we wouldn’t blame you, it’s fun!) just download the MyRegistry.com Mobile App to turn your smartphone into a barcode scanner.  Then, go into your favorite store and go nuts! This feature is the best for local mom-and-pop shops that may not even have a website, so you can really have everything you want on your registry, and have the exact brand, style, or store-exclusive product you’re looking for.

Sure, you can simply create an Amazon registry and register for all the basics and cute clothes you need, or you can create a MyRegistry.com account and have all that and more.
