1. The Amazon Baby Registry Welcome Box comes with up to $35 worth of free samples.
Amazon Welcome Box:
Sign up to get the Amazon Baby Registry Welcome Box, which comes with up to $35 worth of baby samples — all for free. You may get stuff like Seventh Generation diapers, Johnson & Johnson baby wash samples, organic prenatal vitamin samples, baby lotion samples, an Avent bottle, tons of coupons, and a lot more. This is one of the best baby registries out there, as long as you’re an Amazon Prime member.
To get the Welcome Box you must:
Be an Amazon Prime member
Complete 60% of your Checklist
Purchase $10 from your registry
Amazon Completion Discount:
Amazon has a 15% completion coupon on items still in your registry within 60 days of your due date. You can use it up to 90 days after the arrival date you specify. To be eligible for the discount, your registry must have been active for at least 14 days, and you can only use it on items sold and shipped by Amazon.
Once you’re within the 60-day window of your due date, you can add eligible items to your cart from your registry page and check the “Use Completion Discount” option.
Amazon Baby Registry Benefits:
One perk that makes Amazon’s registry one of the best baby registries is that you’re not restricted to certain brands — meaning you can add baby items from any other website to your wish list.
Amazon also has a return policy that allows you to return baby things for up to one year after you purchase them.
2. Get up to $100 worth of free samples and offers in the Target Baby Registry Welcome Kit.
Create a Target baby registry and you’ll also score a free Target Baby Registry Welcome Kit with up to $100 in free samples and offers. In the past, the freebies have included a Mam pacifier, a sample pack of diapers, an Avent bottle, and even Starbucks coupons. The Starbucks coupons alone make the Target welcome kit stand out from the rest of the best baby registries on this list.
Target Completion Discount:
You’ll get a 15% off one-time use coupon about eight weeks before your due date. The coupon expires six months after your baby’s due date, so you’ll have plenty of time to decide what you need — or what you didn’t get at your baby shower.
Target Baby Registry Benefits:
A cool feature of the Target registry is group gifting. It’s easier than ever for multiple guests to contribute to a large-ticket item. You can also add items from any other website by putting the “+Target Registry” button on your toolbar.
You also get free two-day shipping on orders of $35 or more (or on any order when you use your RedCard or pick up in-store). And if you change your mind about anything, you have one year to return new and unopened items with the gift receipt.

5. The Crate and Kids Registry gives you a 15% completion discount and free design services.
Crate and Kids Welcome Box:
None.
Crate and Kids Completion Discount:
You’ll get a 15% completion discount on remaining registry items that’s good for up to six months after your arrival date.

Get 20% off one item when you transfer your buybuy Baby registry over to Crate and Kids by May 31, 2023.
If you transfer your old buybuy Baby registry over to Crate and Kids, you’ll get 20% off one item. Here’s how to do that:
Start a new registry on the Crate and Kids site.
Take a screenshot of your registry from buybuy Baby and either take it to any Crate & Barrel store or text it to 312-477-2326.
You’ll get a 19-digit code for 20% off one full-priced item (valid through June 30, 2023), but it excludes furniture and a few other items in the fine print.
P.S. Buybuy Baby is shutting down operations (and no longer accepting coupons), so skip the buybuy Baby Registry.
Buybuy Baby liquidation sales are happening as we speak, and they’re no longer accepting coupons (either in-store or online).
What to do if you have a buybuy Baby registry:
If you have an active registry with buybuy Baby, it’ll get moved to another platform soon (but they haven’t said which one just yet). Competitors are already swooping in to entice buybuy Baby registrants to transfer to them. For example, Babylist is offering a $10 Babylist credit if you transfer your registry to them by May 10. And Crate and Kids will give you 20% off one item when you transfer an existing buybuy Baby registry.
If you don’t want to deal with that transfer process, I recommend creating a new registry at another store for any items on your buybuy Baby registry that have not yet been purchased.
Remember, since buybuy Baby is going bye-bye, you won’t be getting the welcome bag freebie, the completion coupons, or other buybuy Baby registry benefits. And they no longer accept coupons as of April 26, 2023.
Other information to know:
Since buybuy Baby is owned by Bed Bath & Beyond, you used to be able to use your Bed Bath & Beyond 20% off coupon on most baby items. But Bed Bath & Beyond is closing shop, too, so the coupons won’t work at either store (or online).
As for returning registry items to buybuy Baby, it’s a no-go unless someone purchased the item for you prior to April 26, 2023. The last day to return these items at buybuy Baby is May 24, 2023.
