A baby registry alternative with no store required
Most traditional baby registries ask you to sign up with one specific retailer, then pick everything from its own catalogue — great if that's where you're shopping anyway, less great if you'd rather get a stroller from one shop, a onesie from a local boutique, and a barely used high chair off a local marketplace listing.
A baby shower list on Qui offre quoi? skips the retailer lock-in entirely: add whatever you want, from wherever you want, with a link to the exact item if you have one, or just a description if it's not something bought online. Godparents, aunts, and close friends open the shower link, see every item in one place, and claim what they plan to bring.
Like every list in the household, claims stay invisible to the parents-to-be: even checking their own list, they can't see what's already been picked — which keeps a little surprise alive even at a shower where most of what a newborn needs is already common knowledge.

How to set up a baby shower registry
Create the household for the shower, set the occasion, and add the event date if it's already set.
Add the items you'd like, no matter where they're from: a link to a specific product, an approximate price if you know it, and a note for details like colour or size.
Share the shower's link with guests — right in the invitation, or in a reminder sent a few days before the event.
Guests each claim what they plan to bring; the parents-to-be never see who claimed what, even when checking their own list.
Free for up to 3 lists of 15 items each. After that, $5.99 CAD once, for unlimited lists and items.
Why skip the single-store registry
Signing up with one retailer covers the basics well — diapers, bottles, essentials — but it boxes in any guest who'd rather give something more personal: a hand-knit item from a local maker, a wooden toy from a small shop, or even a gently used item that's cheaper and easier on the wallet.
A registry with no store attached leaves all of that room open: every item carries its own link or its own description, instead of depending on a single retailer's inventory. It works just as well for parents who want a precise list as for those who'd rather list general needs and let guests figure out where to shop.
Frequently asked questions
- Do I need to register with a specific store to create a shower list?
- No, that's the whole point: you add items from any shop, online or not, with or without a link, instead of being limited to one retailer's catalogue.
- Can I mix new and secondhand items on the same list?
- Yes, nothing distinguishes new from secondhand on the list — you can list a gently used stroller right next to a brand-new onesie, with a note to explain the context.
- Who usually sets up the list — the parents-to-be or a friend?
- Either works: the parents-to-be can fill it in themselves, or a close friend or sibling hosting the shower can put it together and just share the link with guests.
- Do guests need to sign up to claim a gift?
- No account is needed. They open the shower link, pick an item, and enter just a first name to claim it.
- Can the list keep going after the baby arrives?
- Yes. The household created for the shower stays active — you can update the list as needs change after the birth, or reuse it for the baby's first birthday.
