A Non-Gender Neutral Registry When You're Team Green!

One question we got a lot when we announced that we were going Team Green this pregnancy was, "What about a registry?" Luckily for us, a registry isn't necessary. We have more than enough to welcome another bundle of joy. However, having a few new items for this baby is a fun idea. But how do you register for fun items when you don't know what you're having?

I was SURE there had to be something out there for parents who weren't finding out their baby's gender until birth. Were parents doomed to have only gender neutral items once on Team Green? There had to be a better way. I was on a mission!

Using the amazing research skills God gave us mamas, I went to the internet in search of an option for gender-clueless parents! And to my delighted surprise, I hit the jackpot!!

Not Finding Out, www.notfindingout.com, is an online registry where parents who aren't finding out can register for gender specific items while not knowing. Each item has a version for a baby girl as well as a baby boy. Your friends and family get the joy of shopping your registry without knowing baby's gender either. They simply select an item to purchase and once the sweet baby is born, Not Finding Out sends the parents all the wonderful gender specific items purchased!

As a registrant and expecting parent, we get the fun part of selecting all the fun items we need and would like for our sweet baby. Once set up with a login and registry on Not Finding Out, a welcome package is sent to the parent that includes a "Shhh, Card". The parents bring the "Shhh, Card" to their care provider to have the gender discretely written and sent back to Not Finding Out in a pre-addressed, pre-stamped envelope! NO ONE has to know baby's gender but the care provider and Not Finding Out. It's fantastic!

Registry items range from clothing, blankets, and bedding to furniture, strollers, and car seats. All the items available on a traditional registry are offered at Not Finding Out. Even fun items such as gift sets, highchair covers and lovies are featured on Not Finding Out's product list. Most items include a boy and girl option unless both aren't available.

When someone purchases an item from your registry, they are given two options: to select the option THEY want or to select the "NFO Option", which means the gender specific item will be sent to the parents after the baby is born. Once an item has been purchased, a beautifully wrapped Gift Preview Card is sent to the parent or the guest to bring to the baby shower to give to the mother. The Gift Preview Card shows both the boy and girl option of the item as to not give away the surprise. At checkout, guests are given one last option to have the Gift Preview Card and the pruchased item sent to them to deliver or directly to the parents. If they chose the "NFO Option", the items will be sent directly to the parents after delivery!

For parents who are choosing to leave baby's gender a surprise until the delivery room, Not Finding Out is an excellent registry option! What a fun way to select gender specific items without knowing and without spoiling the surprise for family and friends. I am SO excited to select a couple of fun items for Baby #5!!
