I agree on registering for the larger items at the same time - car seat, stroller, crib, etc. You may have a generous "grand" who will help get one of the larger items, or else several others who will combine to get you something that's on your list. And I agree with doubling up on the dresser & changing table - nursery furniture now is so nice in that it converts to toddler/child furniture and you can use it for much longer.
Also, don't forget to look at diaper bags - and you may want to consider a couple, like one of the smaller ones with travel size stuff for quick trips. You'll want duplicates of all the things that go in each, rather than trying to remember to repack bags.
The swing is definitely a requirement, not a wish! You'll want a clock in the nursery - for some reason, you'll HAVE to know what time it is in the wee hours of the morning when you feel like you're the only one in the world who's up!
There's no way you'll be able to resist buying clothes, so just get a few things you love, & know you'll get more, cause everyone else loves to buy baby clothes, too! That's part of the fun when someone else is having a baby.
Enjoy your shopping.
