Expecting a little one? Congratulations! As you prepare for your bundle of joy, creating a baby registry is exciting — but it can also feel overwhelming. ListedGifts helps you build a registry that fits your lifestyle, with the freedom to add items from many online stores and share one simple link with guests.

Quick answer:

Start early, cover every category (sleep, feeding, diapering, travel, play), mix price points, and include a few long-term items. Then share one registry link so guests always see the latest updates.

Why Choose ListedGifts for Your Baby Registry?

  1. 1. Unlimited options at your fingertips

    You’re not limited to one store’s inventory. Add items from many online retailers — from major marketplaces to smaller boutiques — by saving product links into one registry.

  2. 2. Add items while you browse

    See the perfect stroller or crib? Save it to your registry while browsing. This keeps your list up to date as you research and compare.

  3. 3. Universal access for gift givers

    Guests can shop from their preferred stores, use loyalty points, and take advantage of sales — while still buying exactly what you want.

  4. 4. Helps reduce duplicates

    When guests use your official registry link, it’s easier for everyone to follow what’s already purchased and what’s still needed.

Creating Your Perfect Baby Registry: A Step-by-Step Guide

  1. 1
    Start early: begin your registry around 12 weeks so you have time to research essentials and adjust later.
  2. 2
    Cover all bases: feeding, diapering, sleep, travel, and play.
  3. 3
    Mix price points: include small essentials and a few bigger items for group gifts.
  4. 4
    Think long-term: add items that grow with your baby (convertible seats, size-up clothing).
  5. 5
    Add personal touches: books, keepsakes, and items that match your style.
