I am a consumer whore. I love to buy new gadgets and gear. I am doing my bit to keep the economy rolling, despite Congress’s best efforts. My partner in restoring the economy is none other than Amazon.com. Especially since I’ve started going to grad school and opened a free Amazon Prime for Students account, I tend to do a lot of my shopping on their site.
I particularly enjoy their wish list functions, which allow me to make a list of all the things I want to (and will) buy. That way, I can always remember that I wanted to but that gizmo that does that thing…
Now, I’ve discovered their Baby Registry. In the last few days, I’ve added 48 items to my baby registry… everything from a “I’m already smarter than Palin” onesie, to some color-changing newborn diapers. It helps that they have a “Registry Jumpstart” that leads you to some of the “must-have” items. (Added bonus: a lot of the items have user-added photos where they have their cute babies using the items) They also have a special Amazon Prime account for parents called AmazonMom. With free 2-day delivery, this service is awesome.
So, my registry is at http://www.amazon.com/registry/baby/3HA85FFWTWON1. Let me know if I missed anything!
