I didn't even consider doing this, but then I read this
story on Penny Hoarder and started to think about creating one just for the coupons, free samples, and registry completion discount. I wouldn't tell anyone that I registered, but if someone were looking online for one or they asked, would it sound selfish to say "Yes, I have a registry". Appreciate your thoughts.
Re: Any non-first time Moms creating a registry for the discount?
Definitely. I am having a shower, but I put a ton of stuff on there that I don't expect anyone to buy just so I can get my discount. I also get points back for everything purchased off of my registry, so I have been adding the little things I buy here and there (clothes, diapers, wipes) to the registry and then just purchase them off of it for the extra points.
ETA: I just now realized that this is for non-FTM haha! I am a FTM, but would still register next time around for the benefits!
I think I will set one up as I get closer to term. I do worry about people buying things for us if/when we send out a birth announcement card. I love to send out cards, but at is happened last time, some people did send gifts - which was not my intent!! A birth announcement card might cause out-of-towners to look up a registry. We'll see!

As a STM creating a registry for myself (completion coupons and keeping track), I'll likely do one at both Amazon and BRU.
Coupons: Gilligan O'Malley nursing bra/cami, Liz Lange maternity apparel, Starbucks, Mustela, Enfamil, seventh generation, Babyganics, Avent, Honest Company, Pampers, Johnson & Johnson's, and Lansinoh.
Samples: aquaphor, Lansinoh nursing pads and freezer bag, dreft scent boost, Honest Company diaper and wipes, Pampers diaper clutch with diaper and wipes, Johnson and Johnson's soap, seventh generation wipes, Olly prenatal vitamins, Babyganics laundry detergent, 1 Avent Natural Bottle, 1 MAM newborn pacifier, all inside a small tote bag.
Bravo, Target.

My Amazon package is supposed to come tomorrow. I made my registry, then purchased something off it so I met the $10 purchase requirement. I'll let you know what it has.
I will say though, it's not for everyone, but I love having Amazon prime.
