  • Narrowing down your big-ticket items
  • What’s it’s “shelf-life”?
  • How will you know if baby will like it?
  • Things vs. services
  • The amazingness that is the “sip-and-see”
  • Resisting the urge to stockpile
  • Narrowing down your “must-haves”
  • Survey says: will you spend $500? $1200? $3000? More?
  • Practice being flexible… even for your registry
