Make Your List and Check it Twice

Selecting items in your favorite home store can be a little overwhelming when you're handed a registry scanner. It can be very easy to forget the mental list you made of the wants and needs before you left the house. We suggest taking along a checklist similar to the one we have provided. We know that everyone's registry is different, but we have listed some basics and some extras that are included on most registries, both big and small. We hope it helps!
