How does a Baby Registry Work?

You know that you or your loved one is expecting to have a baby, and your family and friends want to celebrate your happiness and love with you. They want to give a present for the baby to share this good news with you.

They have chosen something for your baby, but you do not need that present at the time of birth of the newborn baby. But you don’t know what a gift should be for your newborn baby. Baby registry Canada would be an ideal solution for you.

There are many online baby registries on multiple websites. Macklem’s also allows you to have a registry. In this blog, I will show you what a registry Canada is and how a registry works.

What is a Baby Registry?

A registry is a list of products an online store has. It guides family and friends who want to gift something to the parents who are expecting a child. It helps fellows send the gift that they want to the parents.

A registry will help those who want to give something but do not know what to give. Parents will use the registry to understand what baby friends their fellows give them. In this way, they can easily choose the products that would be helpful to the baby.

If your fellow purchase a gift for your baby from any store, you might get the same gift twice. Two of the same gifts are of no use. So, an online registry comes in. It will help everyone to choose the right gift for the baby.

How does a Registry Work?  

A Canadian registry works in two perspectives. One is from the parent's perspective, and the other is from the gifter's perspective. I will explain both views individually.

Parent’s Perspective

• Research different websites and figure out which websites provide Canadian registry. Select any one of the stores or websites and ask them to make a registry for you.
• Start browsing and searching for the products and items you want to add to your junior registry. You can add any entity or product to your registry with a universal registry at Macklem’s.
• Once you choose the products and add them to your junior registry, you can share them with your friends and family by sharing the link to the registry through email or messages.
• Make sure you have to do work months before the baby's birth So you can easily purchase the product before your little one comes into your hand.

Gifter’s Perspective

• Once you get the link from the parent's side, you can browse the baby products mentioned in the registry.
• Once you decide which product you want to gift to the parents, You have to purchase it online or from a physical store. 
• Once you have purchased the baby produced, you have decided to mark it on the registry so that no one else would buy it.
• You can also add the delivery address of the parents if you want to deliver them directly, or you can also add your delivery address if you are going to give the gift yourself.

What type of Products a Registry Must Have?

A registry must have a financial budget because everyone has a budget. It will help your friends and family to choose baby products according to their budget. Hence, a registry must have some products, which I am explaining below:

• Diapers are the major products that every newborn baby needs. Parents need a lot of diapers till the baby turns two. If you want to gift diapers to parents, there is an option for diapers funds. You can add cash to the diaper funds options.
• Financial and cash gifts help the parents to choose the product for their baby by themselves. Giving money to the parents also helps the little one in the future. I suggest you give cash as a gift to the expected parents.
• Car seats, bassinets, strollers, cribs, etc., are the products used daily by the baby. It comes in different prices. You can gift these products to the expected parents. These products will be helpful for a longer time.
• There is an option for big tickets in the registry. So, you can also give the gift of the product as a group. Expensive products like furniture that your baby can use are included in the big tickets. You can provide such types of products in the group.

Hence, there are many other products that a registry must have. The products I have discussed above are the most valuable and essential for parents expecting a newborn.

Final Verdict

Canadian registry is widely used by parents who are planning their baby. It helps the parents to tell their friends and family what they want for their baby.
