You never know how things will be implemented, but the latest development by the Richie-Madden Children's Foundation definitely sounds like a good idea. Per People via Ecorazzi, the org is launching an online gift registry for parents in need: "Families will sign up through local social service agencies. A list of baby products they need, such as cribs, strollers or blankets, will be posted on the Web site. Donors can view the wish-lists and choose what to contribute (much like a wedding or baby gift registry.)" We're glad that this doesn't seem like a celeb vanity project but an earnest effort to help kids. [Ecorazzi]
