How to Find Bridal or Baby Shower Registries

Buying Off the Registry Ensures It's a Gift They Want

Heading to a wedding or baby shower this summer? You’re probably planning on bringing a gift along to mark the special occasion. But how do you know where the lovely couple or new mom is registered? Rather than buying them a gift card to a store they don’t care for or just picking up a generic gift they may not even want, use these tricks to find out exactly where they’re registered and what they need.

Read the Invite

Usually the invitation to the wedding or shower will have details about where the registries are. Sometimes rather than printing the details directly on the invite, they’ll include a small slip of paper with the store’s name. Throw the invite away? Then keep reading.

Check the Most Popular Choices

There are some stores that are extremely popular for gift registries. Make a quick visit to websites like Target.com, CrateandBarrel.com, and BedBathandBeyond.com if you’re searching for wedding registries. If you’re searching for a baby shower registry try BabiesRUs.com and Target.com.  The odds are good that you may find your registry here.

Use a Registry Finder

Since there are so many more places to register now than ever before, locating a gift registry may require a registry finder. For instance, at WeddingChannel.com they’ve got a registry finder that searches more than 15 different stores and retailers to try to locate the one you’re looking for. So rather than visit all of those stores hunting for your registry, look for it in one place.

Think Regional

Different parts of the country have different go-to department stores. Depending on where you live, the most popular department store may vary. Think about where the event is being held and what stores are popular in that community. That may give you a clue as to where the registry is held.

Ask the Host

Still can’t find the registry? Just bite the bullet and ask the bride, groom or mother-to-be. You’ll be glad you asked rather than winging it in the gift department.

    How to Get the Gift you Really Want

    You don’t want to sound pushy or unromantic– but you really want a very specific leather Coach wallet. Or cream cashmere scarf– not white, not buttercup, cream! So how do you make sure your loved one gets you the gift you really want?? Here are a few tips for dropping the right hints.

    Casual Conversation

    Maybe it’s during dinner or maybe it’s while you’re window shopping at the mall– either way make sure you drop your hint in casual conversation. Don’t make it too obvious. Try something like, “oh the clasp on my wallet broke! I could really use a new one. My friend Mary got this great leather Coach wallet that I just love!”

    Phone Calls

    Call up a friend while your loved one is in hearing range. Tell your friend about the purse, perfume or pair of earrings you saw that you absolutely loved. Hopefully this time he’ll be listening in on your conversation.

    Use Technology

    If you want to be a little more obvious (and let’s face it– some guys need you to be!) try Hintdropper.com. The site lets you create a profile, adding gifts that you would love to receive for your birthday, Christmas, or just because. Then you can send the link to all of your friends– that makes it less obvious to the one person you really want to drop the hint to!

    Make a List

    Make a wish list and leave it in a place where your loved one will “accidentally” find it. Of course, they may wonder why a grown adult made a wish list in the first place so make sure you come up with a good story just in case you are asked.

    Plant Hints

    Is there an advertisement in a magazine for something you love? Leave the magazine open to that page and set it on a counter or table that he’s sure to see. He may just think you left the magazine there on accident, or he may pick up on your hint!

    Enlist a Friend

    Get a friend to give your sweetheart some gift “suggestions.” But of course, everything mentioned will have been already decided on by the both of you. If your loved one still doesn’t get the right gift, well then, next time just ask for a gift card.

    How to Pull off Surprise Gift-Giving

    Dec 182008
     
    Shhh! Surprises Make the Best Gifts

    I happen to be someone who is very hard to surprise. It’s not that I’m hunting for clues or searching for secrets. I am just observant. I notice things. So if you’re trying to pull off a gift-giving surprise, here are six ways to make that happen, according to someone who is very hard to surprise.

    1. One thing I’ve noticed about marriage is that it can be extremely tough to surprise a spouse. They’re always around. They know your hiding places. And they have access to your bank account. That’s why paying with cash is key for pulling off a surprise. Chances are they’ll log on to the online bank account and see where you’ve been spending. Avoid that by using cash so your purchases can’t be tracked.

    2. Maybe it’s women’s intuition or maybe it comes from my years of peeking at presents under the tree when my mom wasn’t looking, but I have a pretty good idea what’s in that box under the tree. So if you really want to surprise someone, don’t put it there. Stash it somewhere else– even at a neighbor’s house or at your office if you have to.

    3. Buying online? Don’t have the gift delivered to your home. Your spouse could get the mail before you do. Instead, have it shipped to a friend’s house for safe-keeping.

    4. Be low-key. If your loved one makes a comment about something they would love to have, make a mental note and move on. Don’t ask tons of questions to draw attention to the fact that you find this tidbit of information extremely interesting. Listen, downplay the comment and store it away for a future gift-giving moment.

    5. Destroy the evidence. Don’t let your hard work be ruined by a pesky receipt or a shopping bag with a certain store logo on it. Get rid of the evidence quickly and there’s a better chance you’ll pull off a great surprise.

    6. Let them believe something else. This is a tip only for the pros. If you really want to surprise someone, drop a few clues that lead them in a totally different direction. Put a decoy present under the tree, but keep the really good ones hidden away. A few days before the big event, mention that you have been too busy to shop or that you have no idea what to buy them. They’ll be even more shocked when you pull off the surprise gift-giving.
