[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I am totally on your side in concept.  But you shared a link saying that a blanket mermaid tail or some shark-thingy is cute?  Ooh, that's a rough one.  [/quote]

Are you a 4 year old girl with an ocean theme room? Then your opinion is probably not valid here.[/quote]

Different poster, but I would have wanted to nix that particular gift because it's the kind of thing my four-year-old would have thought was great when she opened it, immediately climbed into it, and then never ever used again. It would sit around her room as clutter and she'd refuse to let me donate it, but she'd never use it because she never just sits still, she's always moving.[/quote]

So seriously, what is the big deal? I don't get it. Surely things you have purchased for her have not been all "hits." Are we not allowed to get things for children to see if they may like it?  You are assuming that, what if you're wrong? 
Is it that much of an issue to guess wrong and give a child something that their parent didn't think of? 
Hell, I've bought myself things I thought I would like/use that turned out to be flops. 
But it seems excessive to micromanage gift giving and instruct people on what to give. 
Especially for little kids who have not been exposed to the thousands of gift options.
