Hellobee Boards

Have you been to the Target to check out the baby section? Targets usually only have a few aisles of baby things. A lot of their stuff is only available online, which sucks. I was originally planning to register at BRU and Target also, but decided against Target because of the limited selection. My co-worker registered at Target and I ended up just getting her a gift card because they had nothing from her registry in-store.

If you really want to register at Target, I would go there first and basically register for anything on your list that they have in-store. They will have changing pads, diaper genie, pacifiers, bumbo. The clothes selection should also be decent. I would register for whatever they don't have at Target at BRU. We ended up doing Amazon instead of Target because neither Target nor BRU have a lot of the specialty stuff in-store--the "good" A+A blankets, boon grass, wubbanub, etc.

@regberadaisy: i was getting a headache, so i gave up, but i was thinking maybe it was time for me to go get my reading glasses out (usually i don't need them in the morning though!)

i would agree putting them at the less $ store is better, but keeping in mind target can be a bear about returns & exchanges and people like to buy certain things together- so if you're gonna register for a bath tub at one place, i'd also put towels and bath items on the same one since most people would buy them as a set, does that make sense?

We didn't split. We had the same registry at each store.

@MrsTiz: Gotcha. I don't think there is anything that Target would have that BRU wouldn't have in-store (at least that has been my experience) but I think there is a lot in-store that BRU will have that Target won't. And if they're on the same road, one isn't more convenient than another. So it might be easiest for you to just register at BRU and save the hassle of having to split things.

@MrsTiz: I would put basic toiletries on both (diapers, wipes, cremes, shampoo, etc). on both at a minimum but you can duplicate more.

Other comments on these standard lists.
- I wouldn't register for the larger bottle gift packs, just 2-3 brands of single bottles.
- I did purchase the Medela pumping gift set which gave me more to pump into which was great (well worth the $20).
- Bottle warmers are a waste, I would cross that off, warm with water if needed
- I would for sure register for small bowls and baby spoons but I would think about skipping sippy cups because they can be a pain to store. Like bottles, you most likely will need to wait and see what the child likes (straw, spout, etc).
- Pacifiers, NUK are great, but I would also grab a soothie (round ones). Also a paci clip.
- I would go less on the hooded towels (maybe 3-4) but more on the washcloths (we have like 15 and still seem to always need more). They outgrow the towels but not the washcloths

@looch: I agree. Just use BRU only.

I registered for the same stuff at BRU and BBB. Then I just took it off at one if bought at the other. I did end up with two high chairs but I just returned one. That was the only double we got.

@T.H.O.U.: See I would register for the larger gift set of bottles, because that is something someone would buy. Then I would buy the individual bottle myself. Then if baby doesn't like the bottle, return the gift set for the one that he does like.
