How to Infuse Your Baby Registry With Personal Style
Whether you’re a Swiftie or an astrology buff, you can infuse your own personality into your baby registry with these cute adds.

One of the best ways to make something truly special is to add your own personal flair to it, whether that’s covering your favorite notebook in painstakingly chosen stickers or adding your favorite song to your social media profile (ah, MySpace). While you can’t HTML-hack your baby registry (IYKYK), that doesn’t mean it can’t reflect your personality just as well as the rest of the highly curated things in your life.
As you’re building your registry, you’re going to be adding a lot of baby gear to it. But we’re willing to bet that things like your stroller and car seat picks (as great as they might be) won’t really reflect the true you. Your aesthetic isn’t “baby gear,” so this is your chance to show off your favorite hobbies, interests and styles through specifically-designed baby stuff.
Smaller baby items like clothes, toys and books are the perfect way to share your interests and personality with your baby shower guests—and eventually with your baby, too. And thanks to baby brands with tons of beautiful designs and smaller Etsy sellers with customization options, the opportunities are endless to showcase all your favorite things.
Below are some examples of popular interests and styles that are easy to incorporate into your baby registry. But if these examples don't fit you, that's ok! Take this as inspiration to think about your hobbies and all the things you love, and find baby things to show that off. The more personal you make your registry, the more people may want to buy from it instead of going off-registry. Trust us, your loved ones want to buy you the thing that represents your college football obsession or your love of gaming.
