[quote=Anonymous]I’m sorry, but I’m team wife.  Gifts are given with good wishes and hopes they’ll bring the recipient some happiness.  Your wife can appreciate the good wishes that came with the gift without using it.  If she doesn’t want to use the gift, then she shouldn’t. The last thing I want when I give a gift is for it tp create an obligation or burden that the recipient will resent.

When my baby was born there were too many clothes to practically use them all.  Everyone buys newborn sizes which they quickly outgrow.  What i liked to keep mine in were the gowns.  They were super comfortable and convenient for diaper changes.

I thought it somewhat ironic that the baby had more new clothes than they could reasonably wear, but since I was still too large for my pre-pregnancy size and maternity was no longer necessary, I was a little short on clothing.

I propose you thank everyone for the gifts, let your wife do what she wants, and if there are any particular outfits you want to see, you can dress him, take his picture, and have backup clothes if he gets uncomfortable. When he outgrows the clothes, pass them on or donate them.  Eventually, everything will get worn and someone may be very grateful to have something brand new for their child if everything else is secondhand.

Meanwhile, you might encourage your wife to splurge a little and get something new for herself.  Once the baby comes, everyone tends to overlook mom - especially the mom herself. [/quote]
