Hi all,

Recently I had a get together to celebrate our newborn baby girl. We had around 30 families and all of them got our little angel lots of beautiful and expensive gifts. But the problem is that none of them have given us a gift receipt. We have too many baby blankets and baby dresses which is of no use since most of them will be worn only a few times (our baby is a big size, already wearing 3-6 months). I dont want to call each and every guest and ask for a gift receipt.
Is there any way I can know where the clothes were brought from?

I **** it to see it all going to waste or going to a donation. It would really help to exchange them for something we need like diapers, etc but how do I find out where a particular dress was purchased?

Thanks
To : This mommy makes pretty babies - I know its rude to ask the gift for a receipt, thats why I have already mentioned that I dont want to ask the guest for the receipt.
And about being ungrateful, I’m not trying to be ungrateful to our friends. I’ve already mentioned that they have given us beautiful and expensive gifts but some of the dresses dont even fit. Thats why was trying to get something useful.

I’m going to a baby shower for a girl who has not registered anywhere and needs everything. I want to get her something she needs (but not diapers, clothes or a gift certificate). Is there any item that you feel you cannot live without in the under $30.00 range? Thanks!!!

This is my second girl so I never received a formal baby shower. However, since the birth of my daughter I have sporadically received kindness from others either in the form of gifts like gift certificates or $20, or prepared meals, or entertaining my toddler while I recoup, or folding laundry. I’ve never been good at paper and know I am more likely to thank people sooner through gracious emails rather than paper and stamps. However, I don’t want to seem less than grateful. What would you think of emailed thank-yous?
