If you think building a baby registry is a lot (which it definitely is), just wait until you have to build the things on said registry. Building furniture can be a pain in the a** when you’re feeling great, so to do it pregnant is just a nightmare. Because do you really need any more instructions to follow right now? And do you really want to risk sitting on the floor and never getting back up?

Nope.

Which is why Joy’s new partnership is absolutely genius. In case you’re not familiar with the all-in-one baby registry (which also has a wedding counterpart!), Joy is a site where expectant parents can build a registry from all their favorite stores and brands in one place. So instead of making multiple registries at multiple retailers, it’s all streamlined into one place. Which, honestly, is as nice for the parents as it is for the shoppers. We’ll get to some of the other perks later, but what stopped us in our tracks is their brilliant partnership with Taskrabbit.

Parents-to-be can now add Taskrabbit gift cards to their registry. With said gift card, parents can hire an expert to come set up the nursery furniture or do various babyproofing tasks around the house. Read: They’ll build the dresserand anchor it to the wall for you. And this wasn’t some willy-nilly (do people still say that? Asking for a friend) decision. Joy and Taskrabbit decided to partner up after Taskrabbit saw a 25 percent increase in nursery set-up bookings and 56 percent increase in baby-proofing jobs year-over-year. So no, you’re not the only one who doesn’t want to build the crib.

What about those other perks we mentioned? Well, if select items on your registry aren’t purchased, you’ll be eligible for a 20 percent off discount to buy it yourself. It’s a pretty standard practice, but a lot of sites offer just 15 percent off. You can also easily duplicate a loved one’s registry (jealous of their mealtime finds?!) by simply adding their existing registry link. No need to hunt for each item!

You can even add babymoon experiences to your registry (seriously!) because you know you want a getaway before your newborn arrives. And Joy even has AI-generated thank you note drafts so you can show your gratitude to your loved ones — especially your aunt who bought both the baby gate and a Taskrabbit gift card! — once you’re majorly sleep-deprived.
