If you've never heard of a "Snotsucker" nasal aspirator, you probably aren't a parent (yet).

If you have, then you probably are a parent and know how important it would be for Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford and his wife, Kelly, to have one for when she delivers twins next spring.

The "Snotsucker" is just one of many baby items you can find on the couple's baby registry on the Bed Bath & Beyond website. We don't know for certain that this is their official registry but, if so, you can purchase anything from a $189.99 baby carrier to a $139.99 "Jumperoo" to a $4.99 shampoo rinse cup.

Now, we're not suggesting you should buy the Staffords a "Snotsucker" or anything else -- after all, Matthew Stafford is making $17 million in base salary this season and could be in line for the richest contract extension in NFL history next off-season -- we're just saying you could if you wanted to.

Kelly Stafford announced her pregnancy in October, then said in November that they're expecting twins, complete with a photo of herself and Matthew holding pink pom-poms.

Matthew Stafford is having an MVP-like season for the 9-4 Lions, completing 66.7% of his passes for 3,447 yards, 22 touchdowns and 7 interceptions. He's led the Lions to eight fourth-quarter comeback victories this year. The Lions sit in first place in the NFC North by two games with three weeks to go in the regular season.
