Registry and Gift Forum

Noone is buying off of my BBB registry!

I have 2 registries and everyone seems to be buying off my PB registry.  While my Best Bath and Beyond registry has a ton of stuff I need!...my shower is in 2 weeks...should I just lay back and try to relax?  I don't want to keep replenishing my PB registry bc I need a lot of things off my BB & B registry.  Is that okay?

Re: Noone is buying off of my BBB registry!

  • You should definitely relax.  Your shower is in two weeks, and many of your guests probably haven't even gone shopping yet.  Leave it be-don't keep adding to the PB one if there aren't items you want from there.  Guests will figure it out.
  • Nobody shops for shower gifts two weeks out.  Most of the time, I'm getting a gift the day before or on my way to the shower.

    [QUOTE]Also, I realize this apparently is what people do - stalk your registry to see what people are buying - but it gives me an icky feeling and leads to posts like this.<strong> I know you don't mean to but it sounds kind of selfish and weird that you are complaining people aren't buying you gifts off a certain registry.</strong> Just sit back and enjoy whatever you receive.

    To the bolded..what's your other option? Call your guests and say please shop at BBB? No! You are registered for <strong>gifts</strong>. You shouldn't expect anything and should be grateful for what you get.
  • I don't see why you are worried. Even if you only get 1 gift, be greatful. Relax & stop stalking your registry.
  • I agree. Don't worry about it. We had registries at Macy's and BBB and we are so many more gifts from Macys (probably because we like Macy's more) but when showers and the wedding came we got more things also off BBB as well. Just be happy that people are buying things. You picked your gifts out so it's not like you won't like them no matter where they come from.
  • Sheesh ya'll 

    Is there a way to check and see if the website is working properly? Have you asked a friend to access the website to make sure that you and your fiancee's names are spelled correctly?

    What happens is that we get giddy when one person purchases something super early and then we think everyone will follow suit. People will wait to the last minute. You'll have to play the waiting game
