Hey everyone so my mom told me to make a registry for my sons birthday cause he had family far away that wanna get him gifts. But after putting toys and clothes and a bed frame with all the accessories and stuff it’s like 91 things on the list. I obviously don’t expect all of them but should I cut things off of it? Should I make it smaller?

i would shorten it to make sure that you get the things you really want the most, otherwise you may wind up with a random selection that doesn't reflect your biggest priorities

Remove the stuff that you wouldn’t mind buying yourself, like things that are cheap, that you see on sale, that you wanna be super specific abt size color etc, and leave the things that are more expensive, and cheap stuff that you trust someone else to get it for you.

If it’s on Amazon, there’s an option to tag “most wanted.” I’d leave it long and have items in a wide range of price points so people have multiple options within their budget.

I always tell them buy what you want because it’s on going list so when Christmas rolls around I already have a list that you have a link too as well. (They always lose the link😅) I will always have a range of price options so I don’t pressure anyone to buy things out of their price range. Then either limit it to priority gifts or mark it as most wanted if you really want something off the list.

It's fine. People will choose what they prefer to gift.

Just leave it it’ll leave plenty of options . If I c a few cheaper things on sale I tend to buy a handful of things off a registry as a gift

It depends on if you have “priorities” or not. We have an Amazon list for our son’s first birthday. There’s SO much on there but I want to have multiple options, multiple price ranges, and lots of inspiration. I tell anyone that asks they don’t have to buy from the list but send it anyway so maybe it helps with some inspiration on ideas. Clothes are always welcomed but we buy second hand so it’s not a bank breaker vs the toys can be because they can’t always be found second hand.
