Have you ever encountered a gift registry? present registries began so that people could buy a newly married couple co-ordinated gifts.
For example, if a couple had set their hearts on an exclusive, and therefore costly, set of porcelain crockery with a certain unusual motif or pattern, or if they wanted an expensive set of glasses, they could register their wishes in a department store and people could go there to buy what they would like to give knowing that everybody else’s gifts will be in the same set.
That is a pretty good idea, although it is taking wedding gifts into a different orbit from tea towels, a teas maid or a toaster. This idea has now gone a couple of stages further. You can now just keep a wish list in a department store for all the gift-giving holidays during the year.
So now, when someone’s birthday is coming up, you can go down to the store, look up the lucky recipient’s name and see what they would like.
Many people are uncomfortable with this way of ‘asking’ for a present, but numerous like it too. Amazon has long encouraged its members to post a wish list so that friends and family can buy a present that will be appreciated and not just put in the back of a cupboard or on auction on eBay as soon as possible.
Baby registries are the latest spin-off of bridal registries. When a couple knows that a baby is on the way, they can start dreaming up presents for it and resister them on the store’s website for people to buy for the baby shower.
One of the most well-liked presents for a newborn baby is bedding for the cot and just about the most popular baby bedding of all time is Beatrix Potter cot bedding. Beatrix Potter cot bedding features pictures of the animals to be found in the books of Beatrix Potter stories about rabbits, foxes and other animals.
Beatrix Potter crib bedding provides a great theme for children’s bedrooms. It comes in numerous colours, styles and qualities, but the most popular style is yellow cotton. You can get entirely co-ordinated sets of bedding which might include a pillow case, a duvet cover and a bottom sheet.
As the baby gets older, you can replace the cot bedding with full size bedding in exactly the same style. Most of this bedding is manufactured of cotton, but you can also find it in wool and chenille. If you would like to theme the whole bedroom, you will find it straightforward to get hold of Beatrix Potter wall paper, Peter Cottontail pyjamas, Peter Cottontail bed socks, bootees, socks, slippers and bonnet.
As the child gets even older there are the books themselves, which will bring to life the characters that your child has known for years on its Beatrix Potter crib bedding and bedroom theme.
