Free baby stuff

245

Re: Free baby stuff

  • @sliztee If you are unethical I am borderline criminal using my moms address and name to get more freebies on multiple registries. HAH

    If I plan to share any though it will only be amazon, I won't share them all of course.

  • Yeah, I put soooo much time and effort into perfecting my Amazon registry that it's the only one I'm going to give out.

    Just finished my Target "registry".
  • @sliztee I am also registering only for the free stuff! So far I think I will only make my Amazon registry and my Target registry public. Amazon because that has everything, and Target because they have the nursery bedding set that I want and so people have an actual store to go to if they want. FTM and I already know we will have 3 different showers so I want to give people a variety of things to choose from.

  • @spartan4life Dang! Three showers?! Just the thought of that makes this introvert VERY uncomfortable and tired.
  • @sliztee I’m exhausted thinking about it too...my family lives on the other side of the state and my sister is pregnant as well so we will have a joint shower with that side. My MIL wants to do one for DH’s side with our friends since we live close, and I work with all women so they always do a large shower for people in our office. It’s going to be a busy summer :sleeping:

  • I did the free gift from Amazon today, got a teether.

    For some reason, yesterday it was allowing me to see the welcome box on Amazon, just told me it was sold out. Today it's telling me I still need to be a Prime member to get it. I'm technically a prime member (I'm under my mom's account). However, I'm wondering if that won't count...
  • @Laumb11 yours looks way nicer than mine!! I got a carter's sleep outfit and a few little samples. No cookies, no bottle, no spray :(
  • I tried for the Walmart box earlier but I haven't gotten anything yet. Anyone know how long that one takes? I tried again today and it said I already registered for one so I know I did it and didn't stop part way!

    @Laumb11 I checked my tracking and I got mine today!  (I also got my H&M mama clothes delivered today too)  So it's like Christmas and I can't wait to get home and check out everything!  I'm anxious to set up the Target registry to get the freebies but DH doesn't want me too without him, and I keep telling myself it's still really early! 
  • @KFrob ooh fun! 

    @SweetSweetTooth a carters sleeper sounds cute! Figured they would all be the same?!

  • I am totally just making registries everywhere that will give me free stuff!
  • edited April 2018
    I haven't even started researching what to put on a registry yet. I feel so behind that everyone has registries and is getting baby boxes already haha. I did just sign up for the Walmart one though since you don't have to create a registry to get that one.

  • I was just going to say the same thing haha @sarahzett

    I'm off tomorrow though so maybe I can catch up!
  • @slitzee oh, totally and completely doing that. I don't see it as unethical, I see it as their cost of doing business... it is part of their attempt to drive traffic to their website, and they will get some conversions and some not.

  • +1 to feeling unprepared AF!!
  • I may be stating my birth class this week and have lots of free(ish)  boxes coming but I have no clue what to register for, I don't want to talk names as I know it will become a heated discussion, I have no clue about pediatricians, I want to start researching stuff but whenever I start I get overwhelmed and I normally love researching! I am normally laid back and know stuff will work out but I want to puke or cry as there is just so much to do!! 
  • With Amazon I just threw a bunch of random stuff on to finish off the checklist, I'll delete a lot of them. A lot of it I don't need.
  • @sammierose464 Exactly what I did too. Went through the checklist and just added the first item they suggested from each category. I still have everything from DD so I really don't need much. I just want the free box!

    @sammierose464 haha you did better than me...I just manually checked the boxes to mark them done  :p
  • Amazon - I just added one thing, bought it, and checked each of the category boxes as complete or net needed. Done. 
  • I didn't know you could do that! I thought I had to add something to each one!

    And now I can't figure out how to redeem it... I bought something off my registry.
  • @sammierose464 it will redeem when the item you bought ships
  • @sammierose464 once your item ships you will have the option to order your box. If they have them in Stock. I only had to wait a day for them to have more. 
  • @SweetSweetTooth Do you have to have Prime? I am part of my mom's account, so I get the 2-day shipping from her, but that's about it.
  • @sammierose464 yes we did the 30 free trial

    I feel like a complete psycho but my registry is basically done- I may edit a bit here and there but it's like 95% set. 

    I just like research. It soothes me
    Would you be willing to share your registry? I'm going to be doing research this weekend but I'd love to see what another mom-to-be has settled on!

  • @kiwi2628 thanks so much for posting! I like seeing other people's registries because it gives me realistic ideas and expectations. I just sent a generic list to one of my friends to mark up for me on things actually needed vs not needed and her favorite products too. And I plan to get ideas from another couple people too (but not many because too many cooks...).
  • Ok ladies, FTM here so no clue what this is. I got my Amazon box today and just dug through it. Got a nice light fabric swaddle, a bottle (same kind I already got a sample of), wipe holder and wipes, and then lots of samples including seventh generation box of samples. I also got this. I first thought cloth diaper but it doesn't seem right. There are two snaps at the top. It really looks like a super small soft bandana for a dog.
