Amazon is the easiest, since I already do so much shopping from there. BBB is easy and has a few brick and mortar stores. Target would be nice for people who want to do either online or brick and mortar (my mom keeps telling me what nice stuff Target has recently and I'm not even pregnant hahah). </p> <p>Have fun! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/registry-recommendations#post-1010130 Mon, 12 Aug 2013 11:08:58 +0000 regberadaisy 1010130@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Amazon (my crowd does wonderful with online!) or Target! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/registry-recommendations#post-1010124 Mon, 12 Aug 2013 11:07:03 +0000 daniellemybelle 1010124@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>BuyBuyBaby is great if you have one. We don't, so I went with Babies R Us &amp; Target. I chose not to do an online-only registry like Amazon - I feel like people prefer to shop in brick &amp; mortar stores. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/registry-recommendations#post-1009769 Mon, 12 Aug 2013 09:45:25 +0000 ElbieKay 1009769@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@looch: The gift giving folks are kind of spread out. I would have preferred to a more local store instead of a chain, but I don't think that is a realistic option. I started setting up an Amazon registry this weekend. Their selection seems pretty comprehensive. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/registry-recommendations#post-1005899 Sat, 10 Aug 2013 07:33:28 +0000 Mrs. Pen 1005899@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Amazon and Baby List are good for online registries.</p> <p>BRU has a good return policy so we did some of our registry there too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/registry-recommendations#post-1005881 Sat, 10 Aug 2013 07:10:32 +0000 KayKay 1005881@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Amazon! We did Buy Buy Baby, but had some complaints (ugh) because there wasn't one local to a lot of people. I just hate BRU, especially for returns. </p> <p>Target might be a good option since they are all over &amp; fairly easy to deal with...plus if you take stuff back, you can use the store credit for non-baby stuff. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/registry-recommendations#post-1005791 Sat, 10 Aug 2013 03:30:49 +0000 lamariniere 1005791@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Amazon and possibly Diapers.com.</p> <p>I totally agree on the pointing people in the right direction thing. I'm really picky (ok, I'm a snob), so I would much prefer to receive things that I picked out myself and actually want as opposed to random baby crap. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/registry-recommendations#post-1005700 Fri, 09 Aug 2013 23:39:17 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 1005700@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Amazon has everything, but for brick and mortar stores I think Baby's R Us and BuyBuyBaby are two great options. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/registry-recommendations#post-1005650 Fri, 09 Aug 2013 22:56:42 +0000 shopaholic 1005650@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Amazon! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/registry-recommendations#post-1005621 Fri, 09 Aug 2013 22:33:47 +0000 deactivated_account 1005621@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Target. I find babies r us to be nauseating. I really hope to avoid registering there. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/registry-recommendations#post-1005185 Fri, 09 Aug 2013 19:29:42 +0000 mrsbookworm 1005185@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did BuyBuyBaby and Amazon We were really happy with both. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/registry-recommendations#post-1005179 Fri, 09 Aug 2013 19:27:23 +0000 looch 1005179@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What's local to the gift giving folks? A lot of people do a store and an internet site. If I were doing it now, I'd do Diapers.com and Babies R Us. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/registry-recommendations#post-1005116 Fri, 09 Aug 2013 19:04:31 +0000 filly 1005116@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we don't have Buy Buy Baby and i so wish we did. for locals we registered at BRU and then we also registered on Diapers.com. </p> <p>we buy everything on diapers.com bc its combined with so many other dot com stores that apply to our household. its one stop shopping and they have THE BEST customer service. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/registry-recommendations#post-1005035 Fri, 09 Aug 2013 18:24:43 +0000 Alivoo01 1005035@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I registered at BuyBuyBaby and Amazon. Loved them both. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/registry-recommendations#post-1005028 Fri, 09 Aug 2013 18:19:04 +0000 Foodnerd81 1005028@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think buy buy baby is better than bru but only if its local for people. I did bbb and amazon and was happy with it. Amazon is good for people who are going to send stuff by mail anyway. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/registry-recommendations#post-1004970 Fri, 09 Aug 2013 17:40:52 +0000 artsyfartsy 1004970@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like Buy Buy Baby. My sister registered there and she got a lot of perks and coupons. After her shower, she went and bought up the rest of her registry items she didn't get and spent $700 on about $2500 worth of stuff. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/registry-recommendations#post-1004954 Fri, 09 Aug 2013 17:35:37 +0000 chopsuey 1004954@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Amazon and Baby's R Us are good places to register. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/registry-recommendations#post-1004900 Fri, 09 Aug 2013 17:04:57 +0000 ElbieKay 1004900@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What are some good places to register? I don't want to have a shower, but I would like to, uh, point certain people in the right direction if asked. (Translation: I don't care if anyone buys me stuff, but if they want to buy me baby gear I would rather pick it out myself. This will likely apply to my parents/MIL and their friends.)</p> <p>If I get enough suggestions maybe I will make a poll later.</p> <p>Thanks! </p>
