We’re having a baby in September and thinking about starting to stock up on baby things! I’m not sure who exactly in our family and friends is planning to buy things for us yet (if any of them lol)!!
We already have quite a few things left over from when my son was a baby (albeit many are the wrong colour now as we’re having a girl!!!) and I’ve managed to get together quite a few little things so I don’t especially need things like babygros, little outfits, cuddly toys etc (which is pretty much all we got given last time!!!) I have way too many cuddly toys as it is and really don’t want anymore of them!!!
I’ve made a list of things we do need - its mainly things like bedding, a change mat, a baby bath, muslin squares, a playgym and so forth and also a few smaller bits and pieces for the nursery.
Would it be rude to make a "wish list" so that people could see what we actually need if they want to buy us a gift? And if its not considered totally socially unacceptable to do so is there anywhere online you can do it and send the link to people so they can select something from the list?
We’re not having a "baby shower" - its not really the custom where I live and also a lot of family and friends live too far away to attend anyway, so I’m thinking more of just the usual little presents people tend to turn up with when they come to see the baby for the first time!
no, it makes sense
people make wedding lists
so i don’t see whats wrong with it
it makes sense, so people don’t buy you the same things.

I wouldn’t post your wish list or direct people to it unless they specifically asked for what you want or needed. Then you could say you made a list of things you want and/or are saving for (don’t say you’re hoping everyone else will get the stuff) and then they can pick something off the list. I wouldn’t offer the list unless they directly ask you what you want. Otherwise, you’ll just have to accept whatever they give you as they come to visit.

No it’s pratical - why waste money buying something you don’t like or need - I would register at target or babies r us and if someone asks you what you need you can mention your registered there and then the word will spread where your registered and you’ll get what you need for the baby.
