Tradition has it, for any type of special occasion, there's registry available from Home Decor stores to Baby Stores to Department stores. Gifts are being selected and bought from a check-off list. It's fast and it's safe.
My best friend's sister, Jessica Lavin is a young mother of two, lives in Oregon and runs a business called Bohemia Yarn Co.. She sews baby slings, diaper bags, and other baby necessities, as well as knit baby booties and hats (you name it), from yarn she spun and dyed herself. She's incredible and her work is immaculate. She's hands down, talented.
This Sunday is my friend Melissa's baby shower and I refuse to pick something off a check list. I want to take on that challenge and see if I can get a gift that she will like. So instead of checking another item off a list registered at Babies R Us, I opted for a more personal route, Bohemia Yarn Co.. With 6 days to spare, my order (a baby sling and a little wool hat) arrives at my house. It is the most precious thing I've ever seen, both the sling and the hat were done perfectly. I am happy.
Registries are convenient. I definitely like it. But only when I want to play it safe. Gifts in my opinion, are met to show how much I know that person and how important they are to me. I look forward to refusing another check-off list. It's risky and possibly time consuming, but fun!
