Answer
A gift registry is a way for people who are going to be celebrating a major lifetime event (Weddings, Baby Shower, Graduations) to politely suggest items that they would like to receive as gifts.
To register, a person typically visits a store or the website for a store and adds items to their registry. The items selected are saved to a unique list for that person or couple. That unique registry name is then given out by the individual to those who are invited to the party. If they are so inclined, the party attendees can then purchase items from the registry to give to the person as a gift. This way the person getting married or having a baby is more likely to get gifts that they actually wanted, versus something that they will have to return to the store later.
As an added bonus, some registry sites actually remove items that have been purchased from the registry already. That way you don't get 15 coffee makers at your wedding.

My sister and brother in law will be having their first baby at the end of this month! we wont be able to visit them when the baby arrives but would like to send a nice/unique gift! what would be something you would have loved to have gotten when your baby arrived?? i was thinking a dean and deluca or harry and david basket...?? we'll spend up to $100..
Answer
The last thing new parents want is a basket of overpriced food.
The most useful gift we ever got after having a baby was crib sheets, burp rags, and clothes. The more you have of those items, the less you have to wash them. When you have a baby you go through sheets/rags/clothes constantly which means you are constantly having to wash them.
But if you're wanting to get the parents a gift for themselves, try a gift card to a nice hotel and a promise to babysit when they get around to using it. The other thing parents want after having a baby is time to themselves.
