Modified registry stalking ;)

I can't resist taking a peek at my Amazon.com registry from time to time   But they have a cool little feature where, at the top of the page so you don't have to scroll down and see what's been bought, there's a tally of how many items you have on your registry and how many have been purchased.  I feel less guilty peeking at the number when I don't know what's been bought and by whom.

Target registry has this feature too and I was thinking the same thing!  Too bad Babies R Us doesn't...  I like to look just to see if anything has been bought but don't want to see exactly what.

i totally did this with my wedding registry and i know i'll be the same with this one.  my shower invites go out this week so i'm sure that by next week, i'll be stalking also.  i feel guilty about it but can't seem to help myself!

I am so guilty of this.....

Babies R Us kinda has it, but all of your items would have to available online for it to work...

I never stalked my wedding registry. I think I'm also much more stressed about getting the stuff we really need w/the baby registries, though. (When we got married, we had stuff, even if we wanted nicer stuff.)

How so?  I see "Total Items in Registry (73)" and "Items Available Online (50)" at the top of the page.  Does it put the purchased items at the bottom of the page and reduce the Items Available Online number or something?  I can't check because I've been told some things have been purchased.  I assume there's an "Items Available In Store Only" section in the middle of the page so that's why the math wouldn't work out?

Ooooo, I wish BRU had this!  I have been avoiding looking because my shower is Sat but I would def look if I could just see the number.

Yes, as items are purchased, the total items on your registry will decrease. So if someone bought something available online it would change to (72) and (49).

You're stronger than I was! I looked at mine all the time before my first shower! My husband tried to make me stop but I couldn't The ONLY thing I stopped myself from doing was clicking on the thank you list on Amazon. Knowing not only that it was purchased, but WHO purchased it seemed like it was going too far for some reason

Ahh.  ok.  I guess I could keep track of the total items number from now on and do the math myself.  haha.

I feel less guilty doing it this way!  But I was definitely curious to see how the Amazon registry would work - I did Amazon and Babies R Us (mostly in-store stuff) to give people the option of online or in-person shopping, and I wondered which would be more popular.  Stuff is generally cheaper on Amazon, and I think most of it ships free, so I bet it's the out of town people (who aren't attending) who are hitting Amazon first.

I'm horrible.  I check my registry everyday.  I can't help it.  I did the same with my wedding registry.  It makes my husband nuts so I don't say anything to him, lol.

Another guilty stalker, I do love that amazon gives you the number!

I, too, am guilty of this variety of registry stalking.  Another item was bought today, but I don't know what.

BRU kind of has this, but you have to scroll all the way to the bottom of your registry to the section that says "Items Purchased (#)" ... so you kind of have to let your eyes glaze over as you scroll down so you don't see what's missing, and have to stop as soon as you see that section header!  It's less perfect than Amazon, and you might spoil 1 or 2 surprises doing that, but it's better than full-blown reading what has been purchased!
