[quote=Anonymous]I would have enough humility and an open mind that maybe something you didn't think of will be something your child will enjoy, or a special something your child will remember being in their room from the time they were little "from Grandma", or something your 3 year old daughter will wear every day. No snark intended, but no child will lovingly remember their organic crib mattress, but the stuffed bunny (yes the hideous pink one that had a garish dress on) may become a sweet memento and treasured gift. Also, there is no way to do what you are asking. I have been on the receiving end of this (not me singled out, but various sisters, cousins, SIL's) and no matter how it is done, it comes off as ungrateful, controlling and "I know sooooo much more than you", and ridiculous. Can't be done[/quote]
