Any curated product from the shop — hospital bag items, clothes, toys and more. If something you want isn't listed, get in touch.

Gifts bought from a registry are typically sent directly to the recipient's address. Registry owners enter their delivery address once, and buyers use it automatically at checkout.

Complete the purchase on the vendor's site, using the delivery address shown at the top of the registry.

Return to the registry and click “Mark as purchased” on that item. Select the quantity, enter your name, leave a gift message if you'd like, and let us know your relationship to the registry owner.

Please contact the registry owner directly to let them know the item wasn't actually purchased — you can't revert this action yourself.

Let the registry owner know so the gift can be rerouted, or contact the retailer directly to correct the address.

Yes — log back in and open “Invited to registries” in your account. You won't need to re-enter the passcode.

Yes — the item has moved into the “Purchased gifts” list, so it won't accidentally be bought a second time.

Visit the Premium Services page, select the type of consultation you'd like, and either pay online or wait for Anita to contact you to arrange an in-person session.

Anita will ask about your lifestyle and circumstances, then make personalised recommendations — covering pushchairs, car seats, furniture, feeding, bathing and other helpful services.

Anita is happy to travel to see you at a location that suits you, but if you live outside London there may be travel expenses which you'll need to cover.
