Must-haves and favorites handpicked by our team of registry experts.

Your belly is well rounded. You may already know if you are expecting a baby girl or a baby boy. Great! Now is the perfect time to start your birth registry. But... butterfly minute? What exactly do you put in a baby registry? What is the purpose of creating a registry? Don't worry, we understand you, because we've also been through these questions. We explain it all here! What's more, our team of experts has preselected some essential - but also completely safe and fun - items for your little one. Let's go!

But by the way... what is the purpose of a birth register?

Let's be honest. Between you and us, there's nothing more fun than gathering all your baby gift wishes and looking forward to our new adventure as parents. But the birth registry has many other interests. It allows you to : 

• Sit down quietly (why not with a good herbal tea) and take stock of your needs, your desires, etc.
• Save a LOT of time by avoiding unnecessary trips to the stores. Breastfeeding, bottles, baby fashion, furniture, storage, decorations, games and toys... on Jourès Canada, you will find everything you want and need for your baby.
• Avoid duplicate gifts: for example, your little one won't need 8 soft toys for him alone.  Thanks to the registry, you can give many other good ideas to your loved ones.
• Minimize your budget (and we know that the arrival of a baby is expensive) by offering you some small products or bigger ones by grouped purchases for example.
