text: Unwanted gifts? - BabyCenter
  One of my coworkers gave me an outfit for my baby which I don't like at all. I don't know her well enough and didn't want to upset her so I acted like I loved it. What do you do with these kinds of gifts? I can't take it back because I don't have a receipt and she left the $54 price tag on so I know it was expensive, but I'm not going to use it either.
  Figure out where it's from. You might be able to get store credit without a gift receipt. A lot of places will work with you.
  That's what I've been doing since I have WAY too many NB & 0-3s.
  You should be thankful for gift, and that she thought about you and baby when she barley knows you. I would put baby in outfit and take picture and maybe show her? And then donate the outfit since you don't really like it. That's just my opinion.
  I had more than a couple of these lol. A few of the items I kept and re-gifted to friends or family that I knew would love them. The other things I took to shelters.

  I love the gesture, it was incredibly kind of her so definitely not ungrateful. The outfit is size 12mths though and I really don't have the space to keep hold of it for a year+ for a photograph

  See if you can bring it to the store with just the tag, they may let you exchange it.
  I wish I could do this too but some of the stuff was used and kinda beat up.

  You don't have space to hold on to an outfit? 1 outfit?
  It has a big puffy jacket with it, and my baby has SOOO much stuff already that I really don't.
  Put it away with the rest of the 12mo clothes, he can put it on one day when you're going somewhere. I've had plenty outfits I didn't care for but I was appreciative and put them on my kiddo. They dont know or care . Or take it to goodwill, or if you feel that strongly ask her for the receipt and tell her you want something more newborn.
  Ugh, I've dealt with this with dhs aunt, I don't mean to sound rude but I'd rather get nothing than something I can't get rid of. She gave us like 10 cloth diaper covers (we only use pockets and had told her exact,y what we use) and winter bunting. We live in the country so we have no way to rid of it, she's on all the b/s/t pages and I'm worried if I give it to the Salvation Army she will go in and see it (she goes there a lot)
  So I basically have to keep this crap I don't want and it's very frustrating.
  If you can find out where it came from try to take it back and see if you can exchange it.

  You really don't need to justify whether you have the space or not, and that doesn't mean you're not appreciative of your coworker.
  My baby and I are sharing a 10x10 room with no more than a small closet and 6 drawer dresser. I asked everyone to not buy things into 12+ month range because I know we have very little space to work with, so I completely understand lacking space. I don't find it rude to exchange an item for something more practical.
