We registered for the birth of our first daughter, and it was completely at the request of our loved ones...many people in our lives live far away from us and had no idea what we needed for the baby. So, in response to the "bad taste" comments, I would say that the tackiness comes from people that go around handing out cards to their friends saying "Here is where we registered."

As for what you need, seriously you would be surprised at the stuff you DON"T need. I would buy the furniture yourself and then register for things like strollers, and a few things like crib sheets that give people an idea of the colors you are using. Most of the time first time parents receive a slew of little outfits and onesies, so clothes aren't really a necessity.

I had a similar idea for this when my first daughter was born. At the time there was nothing on the market, so I used some 1/4" grosgrain ribbon and attached those tiny alligator clips to the end of it. They are extremely cheap and hard for the kids to open. Think of those clips the dentist puts on you.
