Since our first baby was a boy, I stuck to registering for mostly gender neutral things, with some boy touches mixed in. But now that we are having a girl, I have been much more into the gender-specific things. Let’s face it: there are just too many adorable little girly things! I’m kind of enjoying all of the pink more than I thought I would! ;)
We opened up a registry with Babies “R” Us, and it made it so easy to pick out the things we still need and to have everything in one place – and of course pick out some girly things! Also makes it easy for anyone who asks us what we need, since a lot of people have no clue, especially with the second baby!
We recently headed to our local Babies “R” Us to meet with a Personal Registry Partner and create our registry in store. It was so easy – not to mention super fun – walking around with the little scanner and adding things to our list. It brought me back to when we registered for our wedding, but, you know, different… Since this time it included diapers and not wine glasses, haha. It was so simple: we just made an appointment online and that was it! The Personal Registry Partner was really nice and helped us set up the registry quickly and simply in store, then handed us the scanner and let us go to town!
The registry has some awesome features: you get a 10% completion discount when you purchase anything from your registry. You can also earn up to 10% on all purchases made from your registry, and it acts as a receipt for all purchases made from it, so returns and exchanges are super easy. You can add to and remove from your registry whenever you want. They also had a goodie bag for us at the end that included some coupons, a bottle and other useful baby things!
I also learned that they price match, which is AWESOME; I had no idea they did that! I’ve always known that Babies “R” Us literally has like every baby product, but with price matching and a 10% registry discount on top of that, I really do think it’s a great place to register for Baby!
Are you going to be creating a baby registry? Babies “R” Us is having a Registry Party on January 16th (my due date!) from 11am-12pm in all standalone stores, where you can get personalized help in creating and updating your registry. There’ll be games and prizes, too, so it should be super fun! Wish we could go, but I have a feeling we might be kind of busy that day. ;)
Babies “R” Us also has a Registry App for iOs users, where you can manage your registry straight from your phone, and update it whenever you want! It also has a handy checklist for baby, which is really nice and useful!
And today, I’m giving away a $100 Babies “R” Us gift card! What would you buy with your gift card? Tell me in the comments for a chance to win.

More clothes for my little girl!
I would use it toward a glider! I am15 weeks pregnant with my first little blessing!
I would be able to get everything else I need that I don’t get at my baby shower for my baby boy who’s expected to arrive in May! :)
I would buy an infant car seat for our baby girl coming in May! I registered on Amazon and was going to do Target too, but now I may have to add Babies R Us into the mix as well. Thanks for the giveaway!
I would use it towards a double stroller I’ve been eyeing with the hopes of baby #2 coming soon!
The timing of this post is PERFECT! A friend of mine is due in April with her first baby (a girl!) and she’s struggling with the baby gift registration, so this post couldn’t have been more timely. Needless to say, I emailed it to her! XO

Thanks for sending me this post, Dara! Very helpful! :-)
I would definitely use the gift card toward a car seat for my new baby!
I’m due with our first boy only a couple days after you. I’d love to purchase a baby carrier such as a Moby Wrap. Thanks!
Ah I registered there with my first! Albeit a bit overwhelming for a first pregnancy, I loved all of the options :) Perfect timing for this giveaway! Since my baby is a boy (first was a girl) I would stock up on lots of cute clothes :)
All the diapers I could!
how awesome! i would put it towards buying a car seat or stroller on my cousin/best friend’s baby boy that is due in april! she has a high risk pregnancy (due to health issues) which makes working as a hair dresser super hard (hii lotssss of standing and walking) so money is very tight for her and her hubby. <3
I would stock up on clothes for my niece who will be arriving soon!
I love shopping at Babies R Us! We have one close to our house and it is so convenient and has everything!
I’d put it toward a jogging stroller! I’m in dire need.
I would love to buy baby gifts for my friends!
I need EVERYTHING for baby! I would probably put it towards a car seat for baby coming in July! Ahhhh!
I would use it for a double stroller!!
clothes for my kids! Or maybe an extra car seat for my husband’s car.
I’be been totally overwhelmed with all the registry options since this is my first pregnancy, but Babies R Us is great! I would use it for a bouncer and bathtub for my baby boy due in march!
Diapers and wipes!
My niece is due in February and her baby shower is next weekend- so I would buy her some gifts off of her registry! ????
Oh girl – I don’t even KNOW. There’s just SO MUCH. Help with a car seat would be awesome, or even an Ergo! Both of those are starting to feel like such an investment!
There are many things I would like, maybe a carrier… 6 weeks left!
I’d spent it on clothes
I would buy a car seat.

I would buy a car seat for my friend who is expecting her first baby and her husband is deployed! It would be the perfect surprise and one I know she would appreciate :)
I would buy a new stroller or car seat. The $100 won’t pay for it all but it would pay good chunk of it and I would like to get a double stroller (not the double wide, the one where the toddler can sit facing the mommy and the younger baby facing forward). That’s what I would choose if I won :)
I’d buy the pricey formula my gal needs due to her acid reflux!
Expecting baby #2 in July, I would love to win this for our little family <3
I would buy a crib mattress for our little Clara due February 7th!
Hi! I’d put it toward a double stroller or a toddler carseat!
Good luck with your second delivery!
I would use this towards a Mamaroo swing. I’ve been obsessed since I first saw them…
I would put it towards a breast pump! 26 weeks tomorrow with our first baby girl!
So awesome! I’m 40 weeks pregnant with my first and am still in need of more supplies. This would be a huge blessing! Thanks for doing what you do and sharing so much mama wisdom!
I would use it toward the items I need for my second baby girl due in May! ????????
I’d use it towards clothes, diapers, gripe water (amazing!), and all the other baby things I need on an everyday basis :)
I am 35 weeks oregnant and still need a stroller ~ i would use it for this!
I would put it towards some furniture for our nursery

Just had my first baby 4 months ago! I would buy diapers, clothes for her in bigger sizes, and maybe use it towards a high chair or something :)
