We always love to hear how SimpleRegistry helped someone create a truly awesome registry. Do you have a story to tell us? Let us know →
We chose SimpleRegistry because it allowed us the flexibility to craft a registry we were proud of. We try our best to tread lightly on the planet, and everyone knows babies require a lot of stuff. Being able to buy gently used gear was a top priority. SimpleRegistry let us customize our registry so that our generous friends and family could help us feather our nest with quality used items, including a high chair, an infant bath tub, a swing, a nursing pillow, baby bottle supplies and more. In addition, our loved ones were able to share the cost of expensive items. It was a relief to be able to accommodate many different budgets and a wide variety of goods on a single registry.

Several close friends with toddlers had promised to give me their baby items, but what exactly they would be handing down, I had no idea. Furthermore, as a new mom, I was totally confused by the cornucopia of baby paraphernalia in stores and magazines. The prospect of clearly identifying what I needed, how many, and which style/size/color/theme was too overwhelming. I was cowed into inaction, and answered my friends and family with a lame, "Um, I don't know. I think we'll figure it out soon..."
