Re: Where to register?

I did BRU and I think they have a lot of what I need. I am not sure about BBB because I have never been to one. I am pretty happy with BRU.

I am bad, I did BOTH! They seem to carry most of the same things but there are some different things in each that made it worthwhile to have two registries.

The only thing with BRU is that when people buy stuff, they don't always take it off so you end up with duplicates, at least that was the case with me

I recommend BRU bc its everywhere for your out of town guest. Besides that BRU gives coupons monthly BBB you are lucky to get one. Everyone is always trying to get the coupons.

I registered at Buy Buy Baby and Pottery
Parn.

YOu can use coupons from BRU at BBB. THey also guarantee the lowest price so if you are
at BBB, they will give you BRU prices.

I shop at both though :)

By the way... Pottery Barn stinks... They never have anything in stock... most stuff has to be
ordered online and then your guests have
to pay for shipping... why have a store then?

I was going to do BRU and BBB, but decided to just do BRU. It's easier for me to just have one registry, with my brain being swiss-cheese-like these days. Chat Icon

I will have to eventually decide as well - I am not totally crazy about either BBB or BRU - BBB doesn't seem to wrap any of their items if you order from their website and BRU charges $4.95 per item to gift wrap (not in store) - so any family who wants to send a gift will have to either pay $5 an item (no matter what the cost) or send things not wrapped. I had a relative shower last month that I couldn't attend and had to pay $20 to have 4 items wrapped (one item was only 9 dollars).

If you don't have a lot of out of town guests, I'd register at BBB. They have a better selection than BRU.

IMO, BRU felt like the Wal-Mart of baby stores. At least the one we went to.

Re: Where to register?

I registered at BRU. Especially since we have a lot of out of state relatives, it was more accessable. I know people say it is expensive, but we thought they were affordable for what we registered for.
