Does The Bump registry offer a welcome box?

Yes! A fun welcome box, filled with an assortment of pre-baby essentials and goodies, is available to all qualified participants. To be eligible, you must have an active membership with The Bump, add at least 10 unique items to your registry, and either make a purchase or be gifted something with $10+ value from your own registry and have it marked as purchased in your registry. There’s a $9.99 shipping fee, which you must pay in full before confirming your shipping details. You must also be at least 18 years old and a US resident. The offer starts on February 2, 2026 and will continue through December 12, 2026 or until supplies last. Please see here for detailed terms.

Why can’t I find my retail partner registry on The Bump?

Once a registry is created with one of our retail partners, it can take up to 48 hours for your registry to appear in our search results. Also, if you create your registry during the first trimester of your pregnancy, we will delay the release of your registry details to protect your privacy until you reach your second trimester (about week 14).

If it’s been more than 48 hours and you’re past Week 14, here are a few ways to troubleshoot:

• Try the search again. Make sure to use the same name that was used when creating the registry in-store or online.
• Visit the partner website to confirm the registry is set to “public” or “searchable” on the retailer’s website.
• Visit The Bump account settings and make sure your first name, last name and due date are all filled out.
• Use the Manage Registry tool to confirm your sync is active and visible.

What if I don’t want anyone else seeing my registry?

Visit Manage Registry and toggle your visibility to password-protect your registry if you don’t want anyone except friends and family (or yourself) to see it.

How do I share my registry profile with family and friends?

While in your Manage Registry settings, you can copy a link to your baby registry page to easily share your registry with all your friends and family.

Can my family and friends view my registry profile if they’re not members of TheBump.com?

Yes, family and friends can view and purchase items from your registry profile without having an account. Your Bump registry is a simple way for friends and family to quickly access a list of all your registry retailers in one place, using a single link. How’s that for easy?

Will I be able to download a full list of gifts through my registry?

We know you’re working on those thank you notes! That’s why we made it easy on the registry to download one list of gift giver names, emails and notes, along with the product they purchased and the order ID.

How can I return something through my registry?

The returns are done through the individual retailers’ sites and customer service teams.
