“Birthday Wishlist” ??
Show your support
I think it's fine, in my opinion it's no different than a registery for a baby shower or a wedding. On my invites i said gifts aren't expected but if you would like to bring a gift either clothes or baby wipes would be appreciated. My babes already has way to many toys so i definitely didn't want more
I sent it to people that asked me what to get but I said don't feel pressured to only get from from the list. I figured I'd see how it goes this year and adjust as necessary. I mostly did it because I do not want duplicates.
I think there are always gonna be people who think it’s tacky…. But honestly who cares!! Haha. I think as long as you have a fair price range and don’t expect people to buy super pricey gifts then it’s all good 🤷♀️ I never stopped adding stuff to my Amazon baby registry lol so if people ask I just show them that. If people decide to get baby whatever and there are duplicates or we decide against it… then I will likely just donate it 🤷♀️ we live in a tiny house and literally can’t have a bunch of toys and stuff. If someone wants to get you something that will be truly useful to you or babe, they should ask 🫣🤷♀️ All this to say - I don’t think there’s shame in a wishlist, it just makes sense!
Some of my family asks what to get my kiddos, so I keep a running wish list on Amazon for each of them. Makes it easier to give ideas at least
I personally love the idea of wish lists bc idk what your child may need, already have, what someone else might buy you don't want 2 of something ect, I think people need to get over themselves and the I wanna buy what I want attitude and jump on board of the birthday registry odea
I prefer a wishlist because i don’t know what your child wants or needs, Everyone asks what does (child) want for his/her birthday anyways??? That’s a stupid thing to complain about imo.
Hell my mother in law always ask me what I want for my birthday she doesn’t even get what I ask for even if it something cheap
Both my kkds have a wishlist. For multiple reasons. 1. It helps me keep track of wants and needs. All I do is just change the name from Christmas to birthday. 2. No double gifts (even tho it happened for my LO birthday not once but twice by me and my mom LOL) 3. Some registries allow you to put more than just toys such as clothes, tickets to places, etc. it helps me keep control of my house and being over run by unnecessary BS. 4. Cannot stress enough. I have plenty and I mean plenty going on in my brain. The last thing I need is to think about everything my child has told me they want. So if they want something, immediately put it in the wishlist. Out of sight, out of mind.
We did a birthday wishlist and a few things on my registry.com. no one at either party was obligated to bring a gift. But they were certainly welcome to
It’s a great idea. I made an Amazon birthday registry for my daughter’s birthday last week. Every item was bought ! It’s definitely worth it. Add all of the item you know you personally need or want.
I have a list but only send to those who ask for ideas. I tend to find it helpful if my family/friends make a list for their kids si I return the favor. But not everyone likes it so i only send it to those who ask. Problemsolved.
I did a birthday wishlist! My baby has three sets of grandparents and two sets of great grandparents. If I didn’t do a list there would be duplicates galore. My in laws still do whatever they want and don’t even check with me on items, but I at least tried. It also helps with correct sizing of clothing.
