Baby Registry Help!

Registration has begun. The baby shower invites are being sent out in the next few days and we thought we should have our registrations ready for all those eager grandparents, family, and friends. It has been a little disappointing with the selection of baby-related merchandise that all seems so cliché, not to mention an overwhelming amount of these items and “must-haves!” So currently we are a little stumped on how to proceed. Any suggestions? And don’t tell us to make everything on our own! This is the 21st century for goodness sakes, who has time for handmade anything

But seriously, any suggestions? We sort of wanted to do a typography-themed room and/or may go with an aviation theme since we do have a series of 3 childish paintings we did awhile back called “bird” “plane” and “hot air balloon”. I can’t find a photo of them right now, but I did just find some awesome illustrations by Paul Thurlby. I’m excited again…there is hope!
