MyKidsRegistry.com's founder, Yvette Segal -- a former NYC Fashion Executive for 17 years -- decided to make gift giving for children easier. In her research she found several of the gifting websites to be on the cold side of gift giving when it came to kids. While searching for a community dedicated to kids' birthdays Segal found that a place where parents can connect and showcase their children's milestones, at the same time utilizing all of the latest online tools was almost non-existent.
When planning her son's 3rd birthday it went from being a project of joy to a "project", Segal began to think of ways to simplify the process. She didn't like telling people exactly what to buy for her son and the idea of people trekking to the nearest toy store and standing in line for something her son may already have in his toy box, was something that Segal wanted to avoid as well.
Segal wanted to create a website that was warm, friendly, fun, secure and inviting for friends and family to view children's birthday wishes and view their growth each year. As Segal looked over a bridal registry one day, the light bulb went off and MyKidsRegistry.com was born.
MyKidsRegistry.com is not about an over the top party or a "buy my kids this" mentality, but it is about saving time and money for everyone. Its free membership is designed to assist parents in planning and shopping for the perfect party. MyKidsRegistry.com is affiliated with birthdayinabox.com for all your party supply needs, Amazon.com as the main wishlist, and for additional shopping; Nick Jr. Magazine.com ebeanstalk.com Kazootoys.com littletikes.com Upromise.com netflix.com snapfish.com giggle.com uncommongoods.com Boden.com and LandofNod.com. Mykidsregistry.com is also a proud supporter of AutismSpeaks.org.
MyKidsRegistry.com allows parents to list what a child needs or wants for his or her birthday to help avoid duplicate toys, allows parents to list a charity of choice in lieu of a gift, has links to online shopping so busy family and friends can shop from home, and after the party is over, parents can share photos and videos with those unable to attend. The site makes managing family events via the MyKids calendar a breeze, and as with any social networking site, friendships can be made. Currently MyKidsRegistry.com has over 250 members across the U.S.
Segal writes a weekly blog on the site and award-winning early education member and founder of wigglegigglelearn.com Tracey Stuckey, is a guest blogger. Members are encouraged to also start their own blogs, as MyKidsRegistry.com's newest member Naomi, from blog TalesOfASingleparent.com will soon do. MyKidsRegistry.com was also recently featured on Naomi's blog, TalesOfASingleParent.com and interviewed, via podcast.
