WWYD? Re: Registry Bedding

Naz91804

So I've been searching up and down for a nice nursery bedding set and I finally found one that I like on PBK's website.  The problem is that it's on sale and most likely won't be around till January when my shower is. 

I was thinking of just buying it myself, it would be about $240 for the full set and a matching rug which is pretty descent price for PKB I think, or maybe hinting to close friends family that this is the situation and I'm planning on buying the set myself and see if they offer to buy it for me?  I don't mean to be greedy or anything but I have two large showers coming up, we have a huge family, and I honestly don't think there would be enough "stuff" for people to buy on the registry.  What do you think, does this sound totally lame?

 Also, my other fear is that I won't like the set as much after I buy it, or PBK comes up with something else that I'll want more and then I'll be stuck with a final sale item I can't return.  I guess I could always try selling it on CL or ebay but probably wouldn't recoop my entire cost. 

What would you do?

I already bought the bedding for the crib, it was online only and I wanted a chance to see it/touch it etc.

If it were me I would buy it, and just like buying a wedding dress stop looking after!

If you love it, buy it.  I would have probably gone to my mom or mil and told them that if they wanted to get me something I really love this would be it - one of them might jump on it :-)

I was worried about having enough stuff on the registry too, I added many things that he would need later - solid food accessories, older toys, superyard, toddler car seats...  I did take back some of it, like the car seat because newer/safer models may be out by the time he needs it.

Buy it and then stop looking! If you keep looking you are bound to find something that will make you 2nd guess yourself.

Thanks for the advice ladies, I guess the hardest part would be to actually stop looking.  I know myself and I won't be able to keep from looking at the new PBK catalogue when it comes out.  Oh what to do, what to do.
