Amazon baby registry: how it works and how to create it

How to create the Amazon baby registry, step by step

You create the registry directly from your Amazon account: add products from the catalog, share the link, and whoever wants to give a gift buys it on Amazon, which ships it to the address you set. Here are the steps to create it:

1. 1Sign in to your account on Amazon and open the "Baby Registry" section (you'll find it under "Lists" in the account menu).
2. 2Create the registry by entering your due date and the shipping address where you want the gifts delivered.
3. 3Add products from the Amazon catalog with the "Add to Baby Registry" button, right from each item's page.
4. 4Set the handy options: address hidden from guests, surprise gifts and the desired quantity for each product.
5. 5Share the registry link with friends and family: they buy the gift on Amazon and you receive it at home.

For many families that's more than enough: if you already buy everything on Amazon, it's the simplest route. Still, it's worth knowing its limits before sharing it.

When the Amazon registry is the right choice

Honestly: if everyone in your circle already shops comfortably on Amazon, its catalog is all you need and you don't care about group gifting, the Amazon registry does its job — with fast deliveries and periodic perks for those who use it, there's no need to switch on principle.
