Baby registry

Girl I feel you! The last thing I needed was clothes (we got a metric ton of clothes and other things gifted to us from my older sister ) so I told everyone to please please stick to the registry and literally everyone and I do mean everyone bought us clothes and not stuff from the registry......

I’m just grateful people are getting me things at all… I don’t care if it’s on my registry or not I’m thankful people are thinking of my son at all…

that’s good for you however that’s not what this post is about 😊

LMAOOO that’s ridiculous 😭😭😭😭😭 like Wtf and I actually NEED clothes but I’m getting toys ?! 😭🤚🏽

I totally understand this! Like the stuff I need is on the registry, the super essential stuff has been marked. Please don’t just randomly choose things to fill my home with junk.

I really don’t get the logic behind it honestly it’s just baffling to me

THIS !!!!! All of this !!

on the plus side, a lot of times when people send gifts, they send some sort of receipt. SOOO, if you’re getting useless, expensive gifts, you could always return it and get a lot of what you need with the returned stuff! (I hope your people are nice enough to understand such gestures lol)

BROOO YESSS!!! It’s like people will ask for my registry and still get me a diaper bag. I have 5 diaper bags. 🤦🏻‍♀️ I mean I’m grateful for sure but oh my lord. 🤣🤦🏻‍♀️

unfortunately all of this stuff has been ordered from Amazon and they did not include a receipt 🥲🥲

I have 12 pacifiers ☠️☠️☠️

I also keep telling people no more bottles but I’m still receiving messages saying “did you get the bottles I sent” what the fuck am I to do with 47 bottles ?!?!

Yes I feel this!!! Believe me I’m grateful people are spending their money but it’s almost a waste! I got SEVEN packs of hooded towels for what?? No baby needs that many! And only 1 pack had a gift receipt so now I need to donate some packs which is fine I like to donate things but it’s like you wasted your money???

this is exactly how I feel like at this point I feel like I should have just asked for money instead because everyone’s just so happy to waste it 🤣🤣🤣🤣 I’ll have to give so much away I don’t mind helping another mommy out but I do at the same time bc this could’ve went to things my baby actually needed 😵‍💫

I don’t know if this is helpful, but maybe the gifts came with a packing slip?

“Return a Gift - With or Without Gift Receipt
To start a gift return you will need your order number. You can find your 17-digit order number on your packing slip that came with your item. You can also find it on the digital gift receipt we emailed you. If you can't locate the order number, you can ask the gift giver for details.”

I made a registry and no one has bought anything. But with All extra stuff you have you could always turn it into a gift basket and donate it or sell them on market place etc!! I wish I had a bunch of extra stuff but right now just buying little here and there

it’s not even really extra because I don’t have anything 🫤 it’s fine for someone else but I really actually need the stuff I asked for
I got fired when I found out I was pregnant and then I ended up being high risk so I haven’t been able to work and then my kid’s dad doesn’t help me with anything so the little stuff I was able to get is barely enough so I actually need what I asked for and people aren’t listening to me so I’m very frustrated and stressed out because I don’t have the things I need and I’m due very soon

thank you so much I will check the packages for those slips ! Hopefully no one took anything out 😭

people don’t read

If they bought it on Amazon as a gift you should be able to return it for a credit

If you go on Amazon registry you can hit return and put the refund on a gift card and then buy what you want, that’s what we did

I feel you on this.. but my experience is the opposite. I have a ton of clothes - I have 89 0-3month outfits. 30+ pairs of socks, burping clothes, maybe 40+ 3-6month outfits... I am more than happy to swap clothes and essentials you need for bottles and pacis. I have none of those...

We didn’t have clothes on our registry but still got a bunch. None came with receipts, and they’re all newborn or 3 months…
Honestly, the best gifts came from other recent moms. They all understand the struggle and bought the things we actually needed. Most people just like buying the “fun” gifts. Be prepared, because this will continue at birthdays too.

I had the same thing. No bottle supplies, no diapers, no breast feeding supplies, no clothes. But I got plenty of baby shoes. 33 pairs to be exact. Just ignored my registry and got things that I feel aren’t important for a baby.

oh my god noooo 🙁😩😩

33 PAIRS OF SHOES ?!

see I don’t understand this do people not understand how fast a baby grows why the hell would you need all of that just piled up that’s so crazy 😒
Once I go through everything after my shower I’ll message you again bc I’m sure it’ll be a lot of stuff I can spare !

yes all the same size too.

I’m sorry what fucking IDIOTS 😭😭🤚🏽

omg I would be so pissed what the hell

I didn’t wanna be ungrateful but like come on

see I’m tired of people throwing that word around we are definitely allowed to be mad like come on now that’s common fucking sense what newborn would need 33 pairs of shoes all the same size as if he’s not gonna grow and he has one pair of feet LMAO like be for real
People are just stupid and they wanna buy crap instead of stuff we can actually use and then get mad because THEY wasted their own money
It would all be so simple if they get what we asked for
That’s like going to a restaurant ordering steak they bring you out a fuckin tuna sandwich and then tell u be grateful 😂😭🤚🏽

I brought stuff I didn't need back... no reason to have stuff I don't need lying around
