What is a baby registry?

A baby registry is a wishlist you create before your baby arrives. Family and friends can see what you need, so you don't end up with three car seats, two baby monitors or five of the same onesie. An online baby registry saves everyone time and money, and you get the things you'll actually use once the little one is here.

When to start your baby registry

Many parents start their baby gift registry between weeks 12 and 16, at the end of the first trimester or the start of the second. That gives you time to choose without rushing, and gives guests plenty of notice to order something in time for the baby shower or due date. With our baby registry tool, you paste a product link from any online store and we'll pull in the name, photo and price for you.

What to put on your baby registry

Start with the big things: a stroller, a car seat, a safe place to sleep and feeding supplies. Then add everyday items like burp cloths, bodysuits in a few different sizes and sleep sacks. Diapers and wipes are always welcome, and they suit guests on a smaller budget. For pricier items like a full nursery setup, you can set a contribution goal so several people can chip in together.

How to share your baby registry

Once your registry is ready, you'll get a unique link to share. Pop it in your baby shower invitation, drop it into the family group chat, or include it with your pregnancy announcement. You can also copy the short code so others can look up your registry on happygiftlist.com, or download a QR code to add to your shower invitation. Guests don't need an account. They just click the link to browse, reserve a gift or chip in together on a bigger item. Other guests can't see who reserved what; as the list owner you see nothing about reservations unless you switch on “See reserved gifts” on your registry, so the surprises can wait for the shower.

From baby shower to first birthday

A baby registry rarely closes on the day of the shower. You can add or remove items whenever you want, for the christening, for hospital visits or for the first birthday.

A baby registry is a wishlist you create before your baby arrives. Friends and family can see what you need and reserve something, so you end up with things you'll actually use.

Yes, it's completely free. You can update your registry as often as you like.

Many parents create theirs around weeks 12 to 16, at the end of the first or start of the second trimester. That gives family and friends enough time to order before your baby shower or due date.

Begin with what you'll need from the first day: a car seat, a stroller, somewhere safe to sleep, a baby carrier and what you need for feeding. Bodysuits in a few sizes, burp cloths and sleep sacks can follow. For bigger items, set a contribution goal so people can chip in together.

Yes. Diapers, wipes and cotton balls are always useful and make good gifts for guests with smaller budgets. Include different sizes, because babies grow faster than you'd expect.

Aim for 40 to 60 items across a range of prices. With more options, guests are more likely to find something that fits their budget, and you're more likely to get things you actually need.

Yes. For pricier items like a stroller or nursery furniture, you can set a contribution goal, and several people can each chip in.

Once it's created, you get a unique shareable link. Put it in the baby shower invitation, send it in a family group chat, or add it to your pregnancy announcement. Guests don't need an account.

When a guest wants to buy something, they click “Reserve”. It's then marked as reserved for everyone else. By default you don't see what has been reserved or by whom, so the gifts stay a surprise.

No. Anyone with your link can browse the registry and reserve an item without signing up. Only you need an account to create and manage it.

Yes, at any time. Add new items or remove things you've already received. Guests always see the most up-to-date version.
