I hate when people dont use the registery

I went to a baby shower tonight. I went early to get her gift, only 3 things were taken on the registery. So I got her a Boppy pillow. I had it taken off the registery. She still got another one, and she opened that one first. So at the end, she had all her gifts in a pile and mine seperated..guessing to return. Errr. So frusterating!

I second that! I went to a shower today also and I was one of the only people to buy my cousin items from her list. I went shopping last night and nearly everything was still available. She received a TON of clothes.

I always stick with the registry - I figure, this is what people pick out, so that is what I will get them! (for close friends and family I will pick out a couple additional items)

My mom finds it very difficult to buy things she doesn't personally like. It drives me crazy! We'll go shopping for a wedding and she'll look at the registry and say, "I'm not getting the dishes. I don't like them." The point is to buy them something THEY will like and THEY have picked out. UGH.

A friend of mine had a baby shower and she was a single mother who really needed things and ended up a lot more outfits than her son ever got the chance to wear and very little else.

You mean people don't like the "unique" presents I get them, like lawn flamingos and artwork in questionable taste????

That is really stinky. My SM decided she knew better then me and got me this high chair I totally did not pick out. Then when she got there and saw someone got me the one I wanted got all weird and was talking trash about the one I got. Tonight at dinner she was doing it again. Sigh.

Ugh, that sucks... I'm sorry.  Sounds like people bought stuff that was on the registry but didn't tell the cashier that when they were checking out.  I hate when people do that.

I agree. I worked for hours and hours on my stupid registry and not one shower guest bought me anything from the dumb thing. Of course, I appreciated the gifts I received but if they'd looked at my registry, they would have known to buy me a truckload worth of J&J products or a million packs of disposable diapers. Gah!
