I got a nice bag of goodies!
I too went about a week ago to register with ToysRus and since I read the posts here I was expecting a lot more than what was given. Yes, I know that it is free and I am very pleased to have received something rather than nothing, but all and all, it was a disappointment. Like others, had lots of informational brochures, 2 lansinol (sp?) samples, a diaper, the $5 coupon and not much else.
I am happy to have received the gift, don't get me wrong, it just seems weak in comparison to what other people have received. I went to the one near Centerpoint maill in North York. Could the location have been the problem?
I got the same as mydoglugnut, except for no diaper. I'm not sure if location has anything to do with it. Or does it?
I agree a gift is a gift and it is appreciated, however it does seem weaker than most.
I am confused.
Shall I register online or walk in to a store to ask for a goodie bag?? wat say?
You can go in and register your next addition to your family and then you get a goody bag.:teeth:
I registered online and when I went in store to add items they never gave me anything. I registered at the Bay thru the Babytime show and got a gift card just for going into the store and adding items. I never did actually give anyone the registry number. I only used the Babies R Us one.
Apparently if you register at Sears and you have your baby on your due date all your items purchased are free! Wonder how this works for scheduled c-sections?
I've actually heard of a lot of friends registering at Wal-Mart. Lots of the same stuff as Babies R Us and SOOO much cheaper!!
Thank u , Peasnpod and Mommy bk for the info

If you get it right you have to get a letter signed by your dr/midwife that says your birth was not "pre-planned"
I thought too that they gave you the value of the item purchased off your registry in GC, so you don't get your entire registry for free.Quote:

That's what I did for a few registries to save some money.
great money saving tip, ten82.
thanks
I registered and when I went in to add items they gave me nothing. Does anyone know of any other good registrys?
If you register on-line you can still get a gift bag from Babies R Us. Just tell the associate that you registered on-line. They will look it up and give you a gift bag plus a coupon for $5.oo off if you spend $50.
Gift bags vary. The new ones are really nice and full of gifts.
If you plan on registering it is better to go in the daytime rather than on weekends when the store is busy. You will get better help during the day. If you are having a shower it is best to put at least 50 items on the list. Don't put on things like pacifiers and clothing cause usually people don't want to buy you little things. Most people want to spend $30 plus dollars on a gift. You can buy the little things yourself. You can also add notes to the registry, so if you want clothing just let the people know in that section that any clothing would be appreciated. People who are buying from a registry get so upset if they can't find things on it and would like to buy something for you that they like. I think it is fun to get a surprise gift too.
Hmm... I've been trying to register for the last two weeks and every time I submit the form it tells me the site is down... anyone else having this problem?
Also... The sears registry has a cool one. It's called the waiting game, if you correctly guess the day your baby is born you win back all your purchases or something... I'm not a hundred percent on how it works but I think there's another thread for it kicking around somewhereQuote:

awesome..strange they would give you a sippy cup, you won't be using that for a while!!!!! but still will come in handy later on
Hmm, when I registered I got a Nuby sippy cup too, but I also got a BornFree bottle! I also don't recall a coupon in mine though :( Although I had lots of samples of stuff like breast pads, lanolin and penitin.
I got a Born Free bottle, Nuby sippy cup, a bunch of wipes and diaper samples and some coupons... but my friend just went and got hers and she didn't get the born free bottle or the sippy cup... We both went to the Toys R Us in Metrotown but a week apart...
I TRIED and TRIED to get this but no luck. I registered online before I saw this. I went into the store once and they said that I had to print something off. So i went home, printed the registry, and went back. I was told that I printed the wrong thing. It should look like a coupon(?). I was very confused at this point so I emailed the website. They told me it was an in store promotion and only the store could help me. Grrr! Don't they know what pregnancy hormones do to us when this happens? I gave up.
Thanks for the heads up, I will make sure we register in-store then!
i was wondering if anyone had recently registered in store and had received the bag of baby goodies?
How did you get the gift? We registered online and got nothing...
oh ok
When I edited my registry they sent me an email, which had a coupon for a free gift bag as part of it. I just printed it and took it into the store, you needed to do that within 30 days of creating the registry.Quote:
