[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.  Thanks.  I really really do not give unsolicited advice.  The closest I ever come is the example I gave.  And at this point when my brother asks me advice I usually tell him that he should talk to his wife instead.  And I am well aware of the clutter factor so I try to send things that are small or consumable [b](like bath bombs for nephew)[/b] and I always include in my note that anything they don’t find useful they can just donate.

Honestly I kind of feel like “why can’t you just lie to me?”  If I send a gift you hate, why not just say thank you and quietly donate it instead of going out of your way to tell me “Yeah, I have been wanting one of these from X brand but Y brand will do for now, I guess.”[/quote]

Bath bombs may not be appropriate for toddlers.   I just bathed my toddlers in regular baby shampoo.   Also, you are making more work for her because now she has to get rid of something she doesn't want or need.[/quote]

Yes, bath bombs are actually horrible for young girls. We got many for holiday gifts, used them a few times, and sure enough...vaginosis. Our pediatrician told me how awful they are. He suggested using them as "foot spa," or (if the kid is old enough to shower), dropping them in the shower to "melt" and play around with a bit. [/quote]
