Walmart Baby Registry

Having a Baby? Let’s Talk.

January 15, 2015 By Lena

If you participated in our super fun @WalmartCanada Twitter Party earlier this week, you may:

a) have baby on the brain
b) want a baby registry re-do
c) be super envious of pregnant women

Yeah, me too.

Because these lucky duck moms-to-be have a chance to register for their baby, with the convenience of an online registry and access to literally thousands of trusted products, at Walmart or Walmart.ca/Registry. That’s right – ANY product at Walmart can be added to a baby registry, making it the most epic way to prepare for baby, like, ever.

Want to learn more? If you live in the Greater Toronto Area, please join us for a Walmart Baby Shower on Saturday at their Square One store in Mississauga!
Walmart Baby Shower Evite (2)You’ll have a chance to preview some of the hottest baby products and gear for parents-to-be, learn about how easy it is to register for your child at Walmart, and of course, be eligible to win some sweet giveaways! And, if you have questions about baby, parenting expert Alyson Schafer will be there to share her best tips and techniques. …

Let’s Talk Baby at the #WalmartBaby Twitter Party!

January 11, 2015 By Lena

It’s official: I want a registry re-do.

I mean, of course I want to do it all over again, because if I could register for my baby-to-be now, I’d be registering at Walmart Canada!

With a large baby assortment, including online only products, and the only registry that meets the needs of price conscious registrants, friends and family, it’s quite possibly the perfect place to create and/or shop for a baby registry.

Did I mention that you can do it all from the comfort of your home?

But would you like to know my major reason for wanting a registry re-do with Walmart Canada? Hmmm…. you’ll just have to join the #WalmartBaby Twitter Party to find out!
WalmartBaby Graphic v3Join us as we chat about must-have registry items, reminisce over our own pre-baby days and share the latest news from Walmart Canada. To thank you for participating, there will be a total of $800 in Walmart gift cards up for grabs, including TWO $200 grand prizes! (See official rules.)…

Let’s Talk Baby with Walmart Canada

December 1, 2014 By Lena

I wouldn’t say I’m a perfectionist. Far from it! But if there’s one thing I loathe – one thing that scrapes at my nerves in the worst way – it’s being wrong, when I really should have known better. Like a simple math problem completed incorrectly on a test in elementary school. Or a misjudged parallel parking attempt. Or really, pretty much everything I registered and purchased for my first baby before he was born.

Wow, I was colossally bad at that.

The wrong baby bottles. The wrong bouncer. The too-expensive playpen and the not-expensive-enough travel system. But I mean, really, for myself, and every new mom or mom-to-be who is confronted with literally thousands of options, of course it’s a daunting task! And it’s only natural to make some mistakes along the way. Thinking back, I wish I had someone to consult over the items I purchased and registered for; more than a store employee simply pointing me to the right section.

Someone who actually had expert advice to share. Someone who could have stopped me from buying eight pacifiers… for babies 6 months+. Groan.

Are you expecting a baby? Do you feel like you’re in the same boat? I’m pleased to share some exciting news: Select Walmart Canada baby departments will feature in-store specialists to provide support and product knowledge to new and expecting parents. This initiative follows last month’s announcement of its baby registry and resource centre available at Walmart.ca.
Lets-Talk-Baby-FINAL-780-778x422On Tuesdays and Saturdays from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. at select stores, shoppers can look for in-store specialists at the “Let’s Talk Baby” kiosk, and for the first three weeks, specialists will also be available on Thursdays.

(Psst! Don’t be afraid to pop by with any product-related query you may have. Moms aren’t the only ones with questions, and Walmart’s baby departments are ready to support shoppers and provide helpful tips to make this an easy transition for everyone.) …
