Getting ready for a baby takes a village, and we’re very lucky to have ours! We’ve put together this registry for anyone who would like to bring a gift. Below you’ll find some of the things we still need, along with links and suggested prices to make things easy. Nothing here needs to be bought new, and there’s absolutely no pressure around price. You can choose whole gifts, team up with others for something bigger, or simply use the list for inspiration. Anything given is deeply appreciated — but most of all, we’re just looking forward to celebrating with you!
Will you come?
Let us know by Friday, 30 October 2026, if you can.
How it worksWhole gifts, chipping in
A whole gift
Claim it, then bring it on the day or have it delivered. New or second-hand: most of this is on Yaga or Marketplace. Not the car seat, those expire.
Chip in
Anything from R500 up can be shared. Put in what suits you; we cover the rest.
Nothing is paid on this site. Where to send money shows after you claim.
