Iīll admit I havenīt read all replies but i wanted to give you my input before i forget about it......

USE A REGISTRY!!!...... even if you are buying your own stuff, some registries give you some sort of points or accumulate $ for future thing, so register ALL you want, even if you are going to buy it this way you accumulate either points or $$ and that way you can buy more stuff...... just check how each registry works, but itīs great, some will even let you register non-baby stuff.....

and maybe someone might be able to buy you something through the net and get it delivered to you...... I think itīs nice for all people that live far from you and you might even get lucky and get them buy you some nice things for the baby....... JMO
