[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Fine, I'll be the honest one. I was pushed to have a baby shower, and pushed to make a registry for it. So I picked out things I liked. And some people looked at that and said "Oh, she has a $30 dress on her list. I'll just get her three dresses from Target instead. Because three is better than one." Then I had to go to Target and return three dresses. Because what they did not know was that I picked the $30 dress for the baby to wear at the wedding she'd be attending at seven months old.

Three people decided to buy me a Nose Frieda. My oldest is four and I've never wanted to suck her snot from her nose with a tube. Four people bought me Disney stuff. Because they said "You can't escape Disney when you have kids so you might as well embrace it!" Um, no. I returned all that stuff too.

Basically after the baby shower, I spent an entire day running around town returning stuff people bought that hadn't been on the registry. I know they meant well, but it was still a huge pain. If your inlaw wants a $50 onesie, OP, and you're willing to spend $50, just buy the damn onesie she wants. [/quote]

I don't know why people bother buying gifts anymore.  Skip the BS of buying a gift including receipt etc. and just give cash.  No need to return that.

OP, if you're willing to spend $50 and there's an item on the registry for roughly that much then maybe just go with it.  If she ends up with a $50 onesie or whatever that still ends up stained and outgrown, that's her problem.  Anything off [i]the list [/i] likely won't be appreciated anyway.  Don't waste your time running around.
