If your gift was purchased from the Pottery Barn Kids catalog or website, simply refer to the instructions on the packing slip or call 800.993.4923 to return the item.

However, please note that the store cannot directly issue a merchandise credit for these items, and it will be mailed to you in approximately 10 business days.

Pottery Barn Kids is committed to bringing you the best possible registry experience. To help achieve this goal, we offer a "Registry Essentials" assortment of key items that we carry on an ongoing basis. When you register, you can choose products that are designated as "Registry Essentials" and be assured that they will be available for a specified extended period of time. However, Pottery Barn Kids is also always introducing exciting new seasonal collections. If you choose to add seasonal items to your registry, take into consideration that some of the items you select may not be available for purchase in a few months. We recommend that you check your registry regularly, especially as your event or due date approaches, so you can register for alternate items should some of your seasonal selections no longer be available.

Our complimentary announcement cards are a great way to inform people that you are registered with Pottery Barn Kids. Announcement cards are perfect for including in party and shower invitations and can be ordered through our website at potterybarnkids.com or by visiting any of our stores. We also offer the option on our website for notifying friends and family about your Pottery Barn Kids registry via an email that links directly to your registry. Additionally, our personalized online birth announcements make it easy to share your happy news.

As a special gift, we'll help you complete your registry. For the year following your event date, we offer a 10% discount on a one-time purchase of any or all remaining items on your registry. So don't hesitate to register for everything you really want.

We offer nationwide shipping services. Gift wrap is complimentary in any of our stores and is available online or by phone for a small charge.

Our online Thank You Note Organizer records the name and address of each gift giver as well as the items they purchased. This enables you to keep track of who still needs to be thanked and provides an easy way for you to view gifts received. You may also request a similar list at any Pottery Barn Kids store.

Reference our checklist as a resourceful guide for setting up your child's room. As you add items to your registry online, our interactive checklist will automatically reflect which items you've selected and the additional products we suggest.

Pottery Barn Kids has an unmatched selection of beautiful children's items that can be personalized. Blankets, bedding, towels, storage baskets, diaper bags, baby clothing and keepsakes such as silver frames are just a few of the items available for monogramming. Monogramming is available exclusively through potterybarnkids.com or through our Pottery Barn Kids catalog.

Many of your friends and family members may want to contribute to the purchase of a larger gift. To enable this, we suggest adding a note to your registry in the comments section indicating that gift cards are a welcomed gift. The cards can then be used to purchase some of the more expensive items on your list.

12-weeks, 8-weeks and 4-weeks before your registry event date, you will receive issues of our email newsletter filled with helpful tips on preparing your home for baby. The newsletter also highlights the latest additions to the Pottery Barn Kids product assortment so you are aware of new products that might help you put the finishing touches on your nursery design.

You choose how much online access others have to your registry. "Unlimited Online Access" allows anyone to view your registry and shop for you online. "Password-Only Access" requires shoppers to have a password supplied by you. Or, "No Online Access" enables only you and your co-registrant to access your online registry. No matter which option you choose, your personal information remains confidential, and your registry will be accessible in our stores nationwide.

How acceptable is it for me to create a baby registry?
You'll be amazed at how many gifts you receive from people who want to share this exciting time with you and your family. You will receive gifts upon sharing the exciting news, at your baby shower, from work colleagues as you depart for maternity leave, at the hospital after delivery, and when your baby arrives home for the first time. Registering gift preferences enables your friends and family to select a gift they can be sure you will love.

What items should I include on my baby registry?
Of course, what you include on your registry is a personal choice. However, it is typical to register for a variety of furniture, bedding, towels, washcloths, decor, gear, and toys that will span the first two years of your baby's life. Be sensitive to different budgets and the fact that some people may want to go in on a group gift, and include items that cover a range of prices. Also, remember that babies grow quickly. So, in addition to registering for newborn items, we recommend you add items to your registry that are appropriate for your baby's first 24 months. Our trained store associates are available to assist you with this process.

When should I register?
We recommend creating your Pottery Barn Kids registry three to four months before your due date or other event date. This allows family and friends enough time to purchase gifts before the event.

Is there any advantage to registering in a Pottery Barn Kids store versus online?
You receive the same Pottery Barn Kids Registry benefits whether you set up your registry at a Pottery Barn Kids store or at potterybarnkids.com. However, while many of our products are carried in both our stores and on our website, there are some products that are unique to each. For the most choices, we strongly encourage you to visit our website, browse our catalog, and visit one of our stores as you select registry products.

Is creating a registry for a second or third child an acceptable practice?
Many product designs evolve over time. For safety or practicality reasons, consider registering for or purchasing such items for your new baby. Also, since your new little one's skin will be incredibly sensitive, there are a number of items – such as blankets, sheets, and towels – that you might consider buying or registering for again to ensure that they are as soft and fresh as possible. Finally, consider monogramming some items with your second baby's name so that each of your children has special keepsakes of their own.

How long after a birth is it likely we will receive baby gifts?
You'll find that most gifts are typically given within the first three months of a baby's birth. However, some gifts may continue to trickle in throughout the first year.

Why are gifts sometimes given to an older sibling when a new baby is born?
Accustomed to being the center of attention, older siblings often feel left out when a new baby arrives. Giving the older sibling a small gift helps them feel special in their new role as big brother or sister. When you register for your new baby, consider adding a few toys for your older child that help keep him or her entertained while you attend to your newborn.

How acceptable is it for me to create a registry for my child's birthday or other special event?
Everyone who gives a gift hopes that the gift will be appreciated and cherished. But buying gifts for children can be tricky – especially for friends and family who do not have children themselves. With toys, for example, it can be difficult to know what the child already has, which toys the child is developmentally ready for, or which type of toys the child really enjoys. Registering gift preferences enables your friends and family to select a gift they can be sure your child will love.
