You Can Learn A Lot From Gift Registries
There are times when we realize that we may not know a person as well as we thought we did. When you go to shop for a shower gift it could be one of those times. We you go and get the registry list from the store guest services and start browsing through it you may start to wonder if you got the right one.
As you flip through the pages and start locating one item after another, you learn more and more about your friend, this expecting mommy. You start to learn more about their values and tastes. You can begin to find out what sort of life they are expecting to have with their baby, and how their life will change.
This is a woman who does not style her hair. She will not wear skirts or dresses. She does not own perfume. At the top of her list you see ladybug baby bedding. How well did you know her? Are you sure this is the right registry? You check again and continue.
Do you really know her? She complains about the mark up price in stores. She would never pay full price for anything. She is the queen of thrift store shopping. There is designer baby bedding on her list though. It does not seem as though this all adds up with the image you have of your dear friend.
Thinking ahead and planning for the future is not her thing, or so you thought. You find convertible baby furniture among the items on her wish list. As you stare at the items before you the picture you had of her in your mind is shattered forever, all because of some shopping.
A gift registry helps you to receive gifts that you will enjoy and use. It also helps to avoid duplicate gifts. It is times like these when you realize that registries do more, they convey values, hopes, aspirations, lifestyle, and much more. It is a reflection of that person, whether they know it or not. All those text messages have nothing on this.
You have been giving a special glimpse of the parent and person your friend is becoming. The changes may seem extreme, but she probably hardly notices them. Becoming a parent is a momentous event that changes you forever. That gift registry is one way to tell your loved ones all about it.
