I’m also not having a shower (live in a different state than family and can’t fly pregnant post-holidays), but I started making a registry and recommend you do so too! It’ll help you keep track of what you want and you’ll be able to share with someone who randomly asks for it. I made mine with babylist, and they give you a discount if you buy things within a certain number of months before birth. If you hit a certain amount, you get a free box of stuff, same with target and Amazon.
Our family lives all over and is pretty small. We did our registry and sent it to everyone. We set up a time and did a virtual baby shower. Everyone loved it.
