Smaller meaning nothing extravant and pricey? Maybe something from the store she registered at where you got the GC, with a gift receipt, so she can return it? That way she has the best of it all! And that stinks! This is the one nice thing about registry stalking :) BUT if she doesn't need anything else then other posters are right, she can use the GC for future diapers, wipes, or even if it's Target- food or something for her! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-nothing-is-left-on-the-registry#post-859091 Fri, 14 Jun 2013 15:25:29 +0000 Foodnerd81 859091@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@deerylou: Oh I love that! And the bath stuff will get used up so it won't be an extra thing lying around, but the bath towel they will have for a while. </p> <p>And include a gift receipt just in case. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-nothing-is-left-on-the-registry#post-859025 Fri, 14 Jun 2013 15:08:26 +0000 deerylou 859025@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I agree - Target has some cuuuuuute hooded towels.</p> <p>Maybe a nice, organic baby bath product set to go with it? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-nothing-is-left-on-the-registry#post-859024 Fri, 14 Jun 2013 15:07:04 +0000 regberadaisy 859024@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnlove: Target! Carters! You can take it to a local personalized / embroider shop? Anything online you'll end up paying a rush fee. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-nothing-is-left-on-the-registry#post-859016 Fri, 14 Jun 2013 15:04:20 +0000 autumnlove 859016@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@NorCalWayfarer: @deerylou: @regberadaisy: Ok, I texted her sister and she says hooded towel but not PBK...I guess my friend doesn't like their stuff!</p> <p>Where can I find a nice (not PBK) hooded towel? I found out the baby's name...maybe I can get it personalized in time for next weekend. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-nothing-is-left-on-the-registry#post-858999 Fri, 14 Jun 2013 14:57:49 +0000 NorCalWayfarer 858999@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnlove, @regberadaisy: I like the idea of gift card and something else. </p> <p>Is there anything you think she is missing from the registry or something she doesn't have on there that you think she couldn't live without? How about some books to start baby's library?</p> <p>@Deerylou: Ooh something sentimental for baby + a nice relaxing gift for mom sounds nice! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-nothing-is-left-on-the-registry#post-858992 Fri, 14 Jun 2013 14:54:26 +0000 deerylou 858992@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What about a sweet pair of baby shoes, and something relaxing for mom? A prenatal massage, a nice, lightweight robe for the hospital, or a gift certificate to get a pedicure before she goes into labor? I know I would have appreciated a gift like that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-nothing-is-left-on-the-registry#post-858978 Fri, 14 Jun 2013 14:51:12 +0000 regberadaisy 858978@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnlove: I like the idea of a GC + something else. Or do you know of anything she's mentioned she wants but did not put on the registry for whatever reason? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-nothing-is-left-on-the-registry#post-858972 Fri, 14 Jun 2013 14:49:15 +0000 autumnlove 858972@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@deerylou: I know it is a girl and my budget is $75! Maybe a $50 GC and something else? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-nothing-is-left-on-the-registry#post-858963 Fri, 14 Jun 2013 14:47:22 +0000 deerylou 858963@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>In that case, I would probably get something sentimental. What's your general budget? Do you know the gender/name? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-nothing-is-left-on-the-registry#post-858959 Fri, 14 Jun 2013 14:46:03 +0000 heffalump 858959@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't love giving gift cards at showers because I feel like watching the presents get opened. I would get the spoons and find some other things that you need for solids and make it a themed gift. Maybe a baby food cookbook if you think she'll make her own food. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-nothing-is-left-on-the-registry#post-858948 Fri, 14 Jun 2013 14:41:25 +0000 lawbee11 858948@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would go with a gift card...that's what I would want in that situation! Gift cards are awesome because you can always use them to buy diapers and wipes even if there isn't anything else you need before baby arrives. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-nothing-is-left-on-the-registry#post-858945 Fri, 14 Jun 2013 14:40:47 +0000 LaineysMom 858945@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd probably buy the spoons and a GC. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-nothing-is-left-on-the-registry#post-858944 Fri, 14 Jun 2013 14:40:37 +0000 lovehoneybee 858944@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would probably do a gift card. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-nothing-is-left-on-the-registry#post-858942 Fri, 14 Jun 2013 14:39:39 +0000 autumnlove 858942@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My friend's baby shower is next week and the only things left are baby Q-tips and feeding spoons for solids! Should I just buy some things I like, a gift card or ask her to add more stuff to her registry? </p>
