I would defn recommend a baby shower gift registry. My girlfriend had her baby shower a few months ago, didnt know the sex of baby, yet didnt have a registry. She got sooo many towels, huggies nappies, and soft toys.....when she really needed/wanted - bed linen, baby bath and singlets !!!!

I would be happy to get an invite to a baby shower and see a gift registry attached....i would rather get something the mum to be wants, KWIM ???
