Or an experiential gift: baby yoga class, baby music, baby gymnastics, etc. Obviously I would ask what they would be interested in doing.

But again, I am very particular about which brands of these items I use on my baby and would not want someone else to buy them without knowing my preferences or I wouldn’t use them. People on this thread seem to think either moms just don’t care about brands, materials or quality at all or that there’s some universal set of items when there really isn’t. That’s why if registry is all bought, just get gift cards. (And in my case I don’t trust Amazon because of its rampant counterfeit issues so I wouldn’t even buy baby products there and that gift card would be unused, too…)

A gift is a nice sign that they love you. If you dont' like it than say thank you and give it to a child who needs something and isn't pickly about " the brands". Good god this generation is too much.

Yeah obviously we would all graciously accept and be genuinely appreciative of whatever the gift is including blankets. We’re just explaining what will end up happening to it for the OP in case she cares.

Registry is complete, every thing is bought, and I don’t want to do clothes because I know they are getting a ton.

I posted earlier about an amazon gift card. One fun thing I discovered siince then is the ability to make your own cardboard book on shutterfy. Photos and text.
