Does it bug you when people buy you shower gifts that are not on your registry?

Question

Answer

No, I was just grateful for whatever gifts I got whether I registered for it or not.

Answer

Registries are a suggestion - they aren’t mandatory. Some people love to shop off a registry while others feel like they should get to spend their money on what they want to spend it on. Either way - every gift should be met with gratitude. Not annoyance. They aren’t obligated to get you anything.

Answer

I am just thankful we have any sort of support. I have so many things not on my registry already. I did get the first thing off my registry barely two days ago. I started crying. A friend of our bought both car seats. I figured two people would split it and he just up and bought both! His parents are buying us cribs not on the registry. I just wanted $120 cribs. They are getting us pottery barn cribs.

I’m not having a baby shower and we have bought most things already. My mum bought the cot I wanted before we lost our last pregnancy, we just have to buy a new mattress. My Aunty gave us her change table (I wasn’t going to have one) as her grandkids are school age. Car seat is on layby if my inlaws want to pay for it they can.

I go off registry often, because I like to share my favorite baby gear with new moms. Remember, these are gifts, not obligations. Thanks and true gratitude should be your only response.

Answer

I’m really hoping they at least look at the registry because I don’t want to end up with a ton of disposable diapers or clothes in tiny sizes. It doesn’t annoy me, I just don’t want the hassle of returning a million things with my toddler in tow.

Answer

Yeah it bugs me. But I'm a ftm so I am grateful for anything we receive. Plus I think I'm more excited to see my family at the shower since I live 12 hours away from them. Gifts are the last thing on my mind. :)
