Don't understand baby showers and registries

Shannon

Anyone else really struggle with the idea of baby showers and those registry things? Maybe it's just an American thing and I'm missing the point but I would just feel so cheeky making a list of stuff I want for a baby I've made. So many people are asking for the big and expensive stuff too. What have you all got from others? Family and friends ask and I usually just say wipes or nappies or baby grows. Like small things. Am i just too British? 😂
