baby registry

I'm looking to add some lower price items to my registry. This is our first, but we're getting a lot of stuff from my sister. I don't think we'll really need any clothes or toys. Any suggestions?

Re: baby registry
What kind of stuff is your sis giving you? All the 'big' stuff?
Other smaller, less expensive things that you may want new: bath supplies (towels, washclothes, toys, baby wash, lotion), medicine cabinet stuff (thermometer, nail clippers, nose sucker, diaper cream), crib sheet(s) and mattress pad, changing pad & cover, new bottle nipples and/or bottles, plain white onesies as undershirts, new bibs.
I generally wouldn't recommend registering for clothes or blankets, you tend to get a lot anyway unregistered. Until a couple months ago, DD ignored most baby toys outside of a baby Einstein ball, Sophie, and 2 Lamaze soft toys.
crib sheets
bath soap/lotion etc
socks
baby friendly cleaning products (dish soap, dreft, etc)
books
diapers & wipes!
She's giving me some of the big stuff, glider, snap n go, bouncer, baby carriers, play mat. I think that's it for the bigger stuff. She also has lots of clothes, boy and girl, and toys for me.
I get these hooks as a little add-on with all the shower gifts I give. My most used item.
Check with your insurance company before registering for a pump. Mine covers 100% thanks to Obama Care as it is considered a preventative service.
Also, we added all diapering supplies- bag, pail, wipes, diapers, changing table pad and covers. We put on safety items like gates, outlet covers, etc.
I love the idea of adding books to the registry and will be doing so shortly!
baby wash cloths
bath toys
shampoo/baby wash (I still haven't used up all the shampoo and wash my family thoughtfully got me even though I didn't think to register for it)
My fav thing to give as a shower gift is the Munchkin Diaper Duck. It's a cute, compact way to carry plastic bags with you to wrap up dirty diapers when you are no-where near a garbage can or dirty clothes that need to go back into your bag to go home. Less than $5, I think. I used mine all the time, and still carry it around most of the time, just in case (DD's are 5 & 3)
Also, everything Mirroredimage said.
I'd suggest listing the things that my family always seems to lose:
Pacifiers
Socks (multiple size ranges)
Small bibs (the value-priced multi-packs are great, lots of bright colors)
Don't register for too much of the bath stuff like diaper cream, shampoo, etc., unless you have plenty of room to store it. DD is 18 months and only on her second bottle of shampoo and first tube of diaper cream.
