The truth is -– and we know you know this, deep down -– there are only a few essentials, and once you become a parent, you won't have time for the extras. Herewith, the un-registry, a list of products we think are really good for one thing: a great big laugh.

Designer Barf Bags

The Peekaru
<strong>If you're thinking... </strong>It's like a Snuggie. Who doesn't love a Snuggie?
