We have registry store for our baby shower and exersaucer was in it but somebody already bought it. Now lastnite, one of aunt came up to me and said that she bought exersaucer and other toys from yardsale and wanted to bring it over to my place, i nodded and said thank you as I was leaving, now wait a minute...we already have it..so how can i tell her in nice way? The one we already got it, cannot be returned to the store and i assume the one from yardsale also cannot be returned, but she shouldve made sure with me first or checked the registry list before she bought it....so now what can i do?

Once you get it keep the one you want and give the other one away to another couple that really need it or donate it to the Goodwill. That way you really won't hurt her feelings.

I like to have two because I leave one at my Moms house or my In laws house and that way when we go over I don't have to drag it along. A gift is a gift, be thankful you have friends who love you enough to think about your needs, even if they are tight on cash it is sweet.Congratulations.

Don't sweat it though. If she got it from a yardsale she probably only paid a buck or two. If you really don't want it you can donate it to Goodwill or to a friend.

Good luck and congrats! Back to top trish Yahoo User Posted: Fri Sep 05, 2008 7:49 am    Post subject: Can it be used somewhere else, like grandparents or another relative? We had one that we used at home and one that we used at my moms. That way her feelings aren't hurt. She should have checked with you first, but she was probably excited.

It's nice to have an extra one that you can keep at grandma's house or at the babysitter's or where ever, or you could have one upstairs and one downstairs, or one inside and one outside - you get the picture. If you decide you really don't need it you can sell it on Craigslist or donate it to Goodwill. Congrats on the baby!

One for outside and one for indoors. Accept graciously and say it might be useful to have another one of these for when you're moving around the house alot, have company, or have a friend who watches the little one regularly when you need a nap. Back to top Micki Yahoo User Posted: Fri Sep 05, 2008 7:52 am    Post subject: Leave the extra one at a grandparents home. Then you don't have to transport yours when visiting grandparents. Don't be so hard on your aunt - she was only doing something nice for you and the baby. Back to top Ambizzle Yahoo User Posted: Fri Sep 05, 2008 7:57 am    Post subject: whynot keep one at grandmas house? or do you have a problem with the fact that its used? if thats it, then give it to goodwill or a womens shelter Back to top linedancer563 Yahoo User Posted: Fri Sep 05, 2008 8:08 am    Post subject: You take the stuff....and use it. Seriously, you will find that having double of everything is really the way to go. An exersaucer in the living room, and one in the bathroom for when you take showers. Or, have one at the grandparents house. Also, you don't even know what this one looks like. Some are made for younger babies, and some for older....." but she shouldve made sure with me first or checked the registry list before she bought it...."You wanted her to go to some store, and get a copy of a registry list before she went yard-selling for your child? Back to top Sara C Yahoo User Posted: Fri Sep 05, 2008 8:25 am    Post subject: You say thank you and be grateful that she was thinking of you. It never hurts to have two of anything- you may need one at your parents house, her day care, etc. And I think it is a bit rude of you to say that you think she should have checked the registry first. She bought them for you out of the kindness of her heart. She is not obligated to buy you anything. Try to remember that next time you're angry with her for doing you a favor. Back to top Catmom Yahoo User Posted: Fri Sep 05, 2008 9:07 am    Post subject: I actually have 2. I used one upstairs in my house and one downstairs. Then, I had another child and then, each child used one. So, it is up to you. I would hang on to the other one for a few months after the baby is born to see if you need it. And take a look at both exersaucers, you might like one better than the other. Take care. Back to top mystic_eye_cda Yahoo User Posted: Fri Sep 05, 2008 11:38 am    Post subject: Generally when you are at a garage sale and you see a bargain you just grab it -you can't go home and check a registry first, and unless she had your # and a cell phone she couldn't call.Chances are she paid very little and understands that you may not need it. But some deals are too good to pass down.On the other hand I received an exersaucer style toy from someone who got it from a neighbour and I didn't *need* it because I had one, but when I saw it I realised how crappy the one I had was.The one from your registry should be returnable. Otherwise take the one that you like less and either leave it at one of the grandparent's houses. Or give it to charity, sell it, or put it on freecycle. Back to top
