Step By Step Instructions
Let’s go through the steps of signing up and creating a baby list on Amazon. Feel free to stop me if I’m going too fast. 😀
- First thing you’re going to want to do is follow this link (keep this page open so you can continue reading): amazon.com/baby-reg/
- Click on the “Get Started” button. (If you don’t see this button then you probably already created a registry before! Skip to the FAQ section if so.)
- You will be directed to a sign-in page. Simply sign into your amazon account. Hopefully you remember the password. 😉
- The next page that pops up is your registry information. Fill out the form with your details and with the options you want for your registry. Some key features you can utilize on this page include:
- You can add a co-registrant if you want to include a spouse or parent. (The downside of giving a spouse co-registrant power is you could find items added to the registry you don’t deem important. Just saying, my wife would probably find some “best dad ever” shirts if she added me to our baby’s registry list.)
- You can allow “group gifting” for higher priced items.
- You can make your registry public, private, or only shared with people who have your link. I would recommend making it public to make it easier for friends and family to find your list.
- With the list filled out, we’re ready to create the registry! Press that button!!!
- Now, let’s make sure you have the hang of it and can add your first item. Click on the “add items, view checklist” button.
- Use the menu to find something easy to add that won’t require a lot of research. Maybe a toy or some diapers.
- When you find the item you want to add simply click on the “add to registry” button. It’s on there now!
To add more items you can simply shop around Amazon like normal on your desktop or phone. When you find something you like, click on the “Add to baby registry” button instead of the “add to cart”. It’s really easy!
How Do My Friends Find Me?
Your point in making this list is probably to get your friends and family to buy you things. That’s hard to do when they can’t find your registry!
You have two options. First, if your registry isn’t public you can share a link to your friends and family. You can do this here: https://www.amazon.com/baby-reg/share?ref=br-desktop-share-dshbrd. Your unique link can be shared to social media sites and via email.
The second option is to make your registry public. When you do this, you can still share your link with friends and family but they can also navigate to Amazon and search for your registry. The search can happen on this page: https://www.amazon.com/baby-reg/search-results?ref=br_dt_ov_left_nav
Why Amazon is the Perfect Place for Registries
Why use Amazon for your baby shower registry? Well let’s see . . . maybe because they have millions of products, free shipping on most orders (and free 2-day shipping for prime members), it’s super convenient for out-of-state relatives, and you can create your list from home!
Some other cool features include:
- Friends and family can mark items “purchased” if it was purchased off line
- Amazon makes it easy to do returns for unwanted or duplicate items
