[quote=Anonymous]I think many of the wordings people have suggested (no space, no thanks, etc) could cause offense or simply not get the point across—especially over text since these drop offs are not happening in person. The best way to handle this is to return the unsolicited donation bag to her house with a note:

“Thank you so much for thinking of me for so many wonderful baby items. Im happy to say that we are all set on baby gesr. In fact we already have a copy of the book you dropped off and we already have not one but 2 bouncers, so we don’t need a third. You and so many of our friends have been so generous and we are so grateful for all the baby supplies. Please pass these along to another family who could use them. Again, thank you so much!

The key is to acknowledge each item and say you already have several so you don’t need more extras. (Say you have it even if you haven’t purchased it.) At the very least, if you return enough stuff to her front porch, she will likely start asking if you need an item before dropping it off. Then you can say “no thank you!” [/quote]
