A registry hand guide

You’re having a baby! How incredibly exciting! We’re sure that you’ve started Googling and that you’re probably already feeling a little overwhelmed by all of the advice that you can find out there. You’ll see hundreds of lists telling you that you need a myriad of different gadgets and gizmos, most of which you’ll barely ever use. Babalust was born as a result of two Mom’s who learnt this the hard way and we want you to know that we’re here to make sure that you don’t need to.

We’ve created a baby registry guide that will walk you through each of the categories that make up your baby registry and share valuable things to consider, so that you can create a list that is perfectly suited to you and your baby. We’ve made sure that it includes all of the baby must-haves you’ll actually use — and none of the extras you’ll never need. Look out for our golden nuggets from one mama to another, and don’t forget to reach out should you need any support from the Babalust Team.

Babalust is operational during COVID-19. Some of our products have been marked as only unavailable for delivery post lockdown. Please see the official government website for all COVID-19 related information www.sacoronavirus.co.za

How does buying a gift from a registry work?

1. Browse your friend’s baby registry and choose a gift you’d like to purchase for them.
2. Press the “Add to Cart” button on the item.
3. From there, you can choose to add more gifts or to proceed to Checkout.
4. At Checkout, you can add a special message, select if you would to add gift wrapping and pay using any of our payment methods.

We’ll deliver your gift to their babyshower* or you can choose to have the gift delivered to you instead to wrap and bring it along to the event yourself.

*You won’t need to take a gift with you to the event. The registry closes 1 week prior to the event and we will have your gift delivered to the event ready to be opened with the other gifts. If you’ve chosen for your gift to be gift wrapped, it will be dolled up in our beautiful Babalustful gift wrapping.
