Are you expecting or adopting a new baby? Have you signed up for a baby registry? Even if you don’t plan on having a baby shower or this isn’t your first kid, it’s a good idea to create some registries and here’s why:
- It’s free.
- You often get freebies when you sign up.
- It keeps you organized and prepared–now you know exactly what you want/need for your baby and can watch for deals.
- If people choose to buy gifts, they know what to get.
- Most registries will give you a discount on your registry items at the completion of your registry as well as extended return time!
Here are a few of my favorite registries as well as their special offers:
- Target Baby Registry— get a goody bag with samples, coupons, and a Shutterfly gift card; get a 15% discount on registry items at completion; easy returns on baby items at any time for any reason for any amount when you scan your registry barcode. Don’t forget to use your Target RED card for an extra 5% off and free shipping! Watch for a Target mailer–I received one with a coupon to receive a $20 Target gift card when I signed up for a registry!
- Babies “R” Us Baby Registry— get a goody bag with samples and coupons; get up to 10% back on registry purchases, even your own; get a discount on registry items at completion; return registry items up to 1 year from baby’s expected arrival.

Super informative post!!! Thank you! I shared because I don’t think most people know about the discounts and freebies!
Thanks! No, many do not know this! I used to think everyone did until I had a lot of people asking.
This is great information, I love Target’s baby registry, and definitely will have to try out amazons and buybuy babys.
Thanks! Yes, I didn’t know about some of these before; there are some great incentives!
