Make a registry they said. It'll be fun they said...

I had the sales associates at Bed, Bath, and Beyond harass me into signing up to make a registry. They’re so pushy and don’t understand that we all don’t need a lot. I ended up cancelling my appointment and will go at another time when I’m ready.

I started my HBC registry at the store but than I went online to add things that were not on the shelves, it was easier that way. I also have one for Bed Bath and Beyond and Walmart. I always found that most people would add top end things that I knew I couldn't afford, so I'd look on their list and than go find it cheaper somewhere else. I'm so but why would I pay $100 for a set of glassware when I can pay $50 for the same ones elsewhere.

Most of our things are just odds and end thing, bake ware that needs replaces, bedding for my kids, etc. Any big ticket items we can buy ourselves.

We’re in the same boat! We’ve lived together over 4 years, so we don’t need much. So we decided to do a Honeyfund Honeymoon registry as our main registry. We will also do a very small registry at the Bay or somewhere to satisfy the guests who prefer to buy a physical gift. I think it’s the best of both worlds!

I’ve heard great things about Zola.

We decided to forgo a registry...but given the discounts offered if items aren’t purchased 🤔, we may have to reconsider.

I also am TOTALLY for those couples who register at liquor/wine stores. (My mother would kill me.)

I am in the same situation as you. We have lived together for almost 3 years, have everything we need, and would really only need upgrades. I honestly did not want to go through all the stress of doing a registry! So we are leaving it open to monetary gifts, and if someone really wants to buy us something thats fine.

I cannot wrap my head around sales associates trying to push you for cheaper/more things. It is your registry, and they should leave that up to you! It also doesn't help if they do not have the inventory in store for you to even add!

I just keep thinking back to other showers I have gone to (both baby and bridal) and some people like to get a group together and all go in on a gift, so you never know, you might get that amazing Dyson! lol.

I went to Hudson bay too and everything I liked that was out of stock and you couldn't register for it when out of stock. I did the same of price consideration. Some of their items thought were way to expensive. I have been with my fh for 2 years in our house and everything we were registering for is upgrades. Example plates that actually match and some new pots and pans as ours are quiet warn and so forth.

They were pretty pushy with registering for higher priced items. But if I was a guest and someone registered for something like the dyson. I wouldn't be buying it. Doesn't mean someone else won't maybe a group of people pitch in instead.
