Chris and Aryana's Baby Registry

Hello, friends and family!

We’re so excited to welcome our little one into the world, and we’re incredibly grateful for your love and support as we start this new chapter. Since we’re living in a small space, we’re focusing on items that baby can grow into and use for the long term. Our registry has been carefully curated to reflect what we feel will best support our journey as new parents. Overall, we are aiming for a sustainable, low consumption approach to parenthood!

A few notes to keep in mind:

– Stick to the registry whenever possible. We’re trying to avoid items that won’t be used within baby’s first year.

– Bright colors and non-plastic materials are what we’re drawn to when possible!

– We’ve chosen to cloth diaper, use cloth wipes, and start early elimination communication.

– Ary plans to exclusively pump, so feeding items have been selected accordingly.

– We’ve selected cribs and car seats that convert from infancy to toddlerhood to maximize their use as baby grows.

- You may notice there is no stroller listed. Since baby will be making their arrival later in the year, there is a high likelihood we won’t utilize a stroller until the warmer months. That said, we have found a ton of high end strollers available through secondhand stores and online resellers, so please consider contributing to our secondhand fund for this item as well!

Regarding clothes:

– While we have added a few fun pieces of clothing here, we have already accumulated quite a few pieces of clothing over the last few months. If you’d like to help with clothing, we love gender-neutral styles, fun patterns, and appreciate contributions to our secondhand fund, as we plan to continue to thrift most of baby’s wardrobe to save on costs (and because babies grow so quickly!).

– Baby will be born in the fall, and with the Pacific Northwest weather, it rains about half of the year. Warm, cozy layers will be most practical. Since baby won’t be outdoors much in the first few months, we won’t need newborn-sized outdoor clothing. Instead, we’d prefer outdoor clothing in larger sizes that they can grow into!

Lastly, if any items are purchased, be sure to come back here and mark them as purchased!!

We are excited for this new adventure and are so thankful for the care you’re showing us as we prepare. Your love and support truly means the world to us!

With love,
