Walmart Registry - Create a registry and then register for your welcome box. It was very easy to create, though the checklist wasn't quite as simple to navigate as it was on Amazon or Target. To register for your box, click the register link above and enter your registry URL along with your shipping information. As far as I can tell, there is no purchase requirement to receive. See the full value breakdown in the  Baby Box  post.  Amazon Registry - Get a free welcome box after completing 60% of your registry checklist and have over $10 in purchases from your registry.

I love candied almonds, so when I had to cut eggs out of my diet, I was a bit gutted to find out most candied almonds contain egg whites.
