Emily's Baby Registry

"Becoming a first-time mom can feel overwhelming, so this gift is really about confidence, connection, and community. This newborn class will give me tools to navigate postpartum life, support my baby’s development, and—maybe most importantly—meet other new moms who are going through it all at the same time."

"A Family of 2 membership to Kidspace would give us a whole year of hands-on fun, outdoor play, and early learning right in our backyard. I can already imagine the two of us exploring exhibits, making crafts, and splashing in the water play area together. This is the kind of gift that’s more than just a day out—it’s a year of memories, movement, and magic."

"I might not always know what I’ll need—or when I’ll need it—but knowing I can call on you means the world. Whether it’s a ride to the pediatrician, help folding baby laundry, a shoulder to lean on, or just someone to talk to during a long night, this “blank coupon” is a lifeline."

"I know I’ll need a village to raise this little one. If you’re up for spending time with the baby—whether that’s for me to take a shower, a nap, or just breathe—I’d be so grateful. Even a short break can make a world of difference."

"A clean house sounds dreamy, especially with a newborn! A house cleaning gift would help me feel a little more human in the early days. I’d be so grateful for the support."

"From board books to bedtime favorites, I’d love to receive any books your family has outgrown. Well-worn = well-loved, and I can’t wait to read them over and over to Baby Cardinas too."

"I’d love any pre-loved baby clothes your little ones have outgrown! Hand-me-downs full of love are always welcome."

"Books have always been a big part of my life, and I can’t wait to pass that love on. Whether it’s bedtime stories, board books, or future favorites, this kid is going to grow up surrounded by stories. ThriftBooks is my favorite site for finding affordable, gently used gems—so a gift card there helps us build a library full of heart without breaking the bank."

"Sleep may be in short supply, but coffee doesn’t have to be. A Starbucks gift card means a little comfort, a bit of normalcy, and the caffeine I’ll definitely need to keep going. Whether it’s a drive-thru latte or a few quiet minutes with a warm cup, it’s a small luxury that means a lot."

"Target is the closest store to me, so let’s be real—I’ll probably be there more than anywhere else! From diapers and wipes to late-night “what did I forget?” moments, a gift card goes a long way. Thank you for helping stock our little nest (and probably keeping me semi-sane in the process)."

"Diapers, wipes, snacks for me—Costco’s got it all, and I go there a LOT. A gift card would help me stock up on the essentials. It’s one of those practical gifts that makes a huge difference as we settle into this new chapter."

"Cooking? What’s that? In those first few weeks (or months 😅), nourishment will likely come in takeout containers. Uber Eats is my go-to delivery service, and a gift card would be a total lifesaver!"
