[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My MIL gifts dolls.  Really expensive, real looking, creepy dolls.  Our daughter is approaching college age and has zero interest in dolls of any kind.  My MIL loves these dolls and thinks everyone else does too.  [/quote]

Mine gifts my infant DOG toys. Purchased at Petco. Because he can use chew toys as teethers.

If my kid grows into a werewolf, we know how it happened.[/quote]

I would just donate to the local animal shelter.  If she continues to do this when he's old enough understand, teach him to make his Christmas donation to support the shelter.

I agree with the sentiment to just be grateful and gracious about receiving gifts and to donate gifts that you can't, won't or don't want to use.  There are too many kids who have to do without and anything I can't use I like to give to organizations that redirect to those children.  I often give cash donations, but anything I don't want my kids to have, I donate.[/quote]

This is a great idea. MIL LOVES dogs and donates a lot of money to a local shelter anyway, so maybe she can take him to pick out toys and bring them to the shelter when he's older.[/quote]
