@riveridgional... you can add to your Amazon registry without looking at what has already been purchased. Just login to your account and search for the items, adding them to your registry.
I've been really good the last week or more not looking at my registry. But instead I've just been looking at the number of items purchased on my bump app! It's exciting to see, but I do want some surprise! Shower is tomorrow and a lot has gone in the last few days. So excited to have a little party in my yard and be able to start putting baby stuff away and close out those registies! But I am disappointed in how many of the items on my amazon registry are not eligible for the discount...
@Stephanie7693 yeah, the completion discount is disappointing. I'd be looking at the registry to prevent the purchase of duplicates. I decided to just add everything I could find on amazon that was on my BRU registry that I would definitely buy or really want. I'll just check it every day to delete anything purchased from the other registry. It'll still be a surprise to see who purchased the gift for me.
I know I never realized BRU is free shipping with $19, so I would go to BRU the weekend of the shower. Maybe other people will do the same with mine. For other people's showers, I now know how easy it is to buy from BRU online and will definitely do that in the future!

@riveridgional that is why I only did a registry at Target. I started doing one on Amazon but I realized I didn't want to worry about taking things back thru Amazon (even though they have great customer service) when we have a target nearby. Half my items were only available online and half in the store. Most of the in store items have been purchased and I'd say about half of the online items. I figured that would be the case since we have a lot of older people coming that don't shop online... And I don't feel bad, I check it daily to see what's purchased and mine is tomorrow.
I can finally look at my registry again! Shower was yesterday, and about half the items on my registry were bought. Surprisingly, I only have 1 exchange to make, and only because it's lotion scented with lavender, which I'm allergic to. Everything else was mared on the registry and only got doubles on bath soap! And although people bought clothes, they didn't go too crazy and it was an array of sizes, so yay! I can finally purchase the rest of what I need, and wash and organize everything this week!! I can't believe how ready we will be in a week and there will be only 6 weeks left, or less!
