Registries suck. Seriously. The idea of them is nice. They have always been a great shopping/reminder list for myself. Plus the idea of walking around with a little price gun thing and scanning everything you love is appealing. The whole process sounds like fun. Until you actually do it and find yourself staring at an entire aisle of bottles. Followed by an aisle full of diapers. Followed by an aisle full of shampoos. Decision after decision. It's overwhelming. And exhausting. But decisions have to be made. The baby needs bottles. And diapers. And shampoo.
When choosing where to register we went with the hometown favorite, Target, and thought we would also go with the old standby, Babies R Us. But once I started looking at Babies R Us? It reminded me a little of our last registry experience. Expensive items and pushy sales people. When they called me three times in one day to discuss our registry and offer "helpful advice," I decided I had had enough and shut it down. There is something to be said about Amazon's lower prices, absolute absence of sales people, and zero aisles. :)
