What to put on a baby shower registry

Most baby registries are half things you never open. This is the list that gets used, in the order it matters.

Sleep

A bassinet or crib, a mattress, two sets of crib sheets, a sound machine, and sleep sacks in two sizes.

Feeding

Bottles in two nipple flows, a pump, a drying rack and bibs. Add the high chair even though it feels early.

Diapering and bath

A changing pad, a pail, a grooming kit and hooded towels. You can skip the wipe warmer.

On the go

Car seat first, then stroller, then carrier. Check the car seat fits your actual car before you add it.

Play and learn

Two or three high contrast toys and a play gym. Everything else shows up on its own.

For the parents

Postpartum recovery, a meal delivery card, a nursing pajama set. Some of the most used gifts on any baby list.

Cash funds

Diapers, childcare, college. Family will give to these when they cannot decide on a thing.

When to do what

A simple plan for your baby shower registry, from the first gift to the thank you notes.

  1. Around week 20Build it right after the anatomy scan, when you tell everyone.
  2. Weeks 24 to 28Share it. Showers get planned around this window.
  3. Around week 30Top up the under $50 gifts. Shower guests clear them fast.
  4. Around week 34Add the big items back with a fund so several people can give toward them, and register your car seat with the maker.
  5. After birthLeave it open for a few months. The second wave of gifts is often the one you needed most.

Why Giftella for your baby shower registry

Simple for you, simple for every guest.

  • Ideas parents still use

    The starter ideas are things parents still reach for months later, not shelf filler.

  • Room for the big things

    Add a cash fund for the stroller or the car seat so several people can give toward it.

  • Nothing arrives twice

    Guests reserve a gift before they buy it, so you get one bottle warmer, not four.

  • Your address stays private

    Guests see your shipping address only after they reserve a gift, never while browsing.

  • Free

    No fees to make it, share it or keep it open. No card needed.

Questions people ask

Is a Giftella baby shower registry free?
Yes. Making it, sharing it and keeping it open cost nothing, and no card is needed. We may earn a small commission when a guest buys through some store links, at no extra cost to anyone.
Can I add gifts from any store?
Yes. Paste a link from any shop and the gift lands on your registry with its photo and price. Guests buy it from that store, so they keep their own delivery, rewards and returns.
How do guests avoid buying the same gift?
A guest reserves a gift before buying it, and it then shows as reserved to everyone else. Other guests never see who reserved it. You can see it on your dashboard.
How do cash funds work?
Add a fund for a honeymoon, a home or anything else, with your Venmo, PayPal, Zelle or Cash App. Guests send money straight to you and nothing comes out of your gift. Where card payments are on, the guest pays the small card fee, so you still get 100 percent.
Who sees my address?
Nobody who is just browsing. If you add a shipping address, a guest sees it only after they reserve a gift, so they can send it to you.
Do my guests need an app or an account?
No. Your link opens in any browser on any phone or computer.
Can I change my registry after I share it?
Any time. Add, remove or edit gifts whenever you like. Your link stays the same.
