BRU Registry...Question about gift

amberfernandez

Maybe some of you who have had showers or already received shower gifts can help.

I received a gift in the mail from my BRU registry today, but there is nothing on it that tells me who sent it.  How am I supposed to send a Thank You note if I don't know who sent it?  It's probably from a relative that cannot make it to the shower, but I can't be sure.

Any thoughts?

Hmm, could you contact the store to see who purchased it?   That is a tough one.

The store should be able to tell you who purchased it.  Hopefully.

I received a gift yesterday and there was a receipt in a plastic wrapping attached to the box. On the receipt it has the billing address of the person who purchased it.

That's strange it didn't have any papers on it with a return address. Yeah, I guess I'd call te store and see if they could help you out...they should be happy too;)

I turned the box every which way looking for a pouch, and it's not there, just a sticker slapped on the side of the graco box with my info and bar codes.  I'll try calling the store today and see if they can tell me anything.

I think the problem will be, that I asked for two pack'n'plays on my registry, one for my house, and one to keep at my dad's, and both have been purchased, but only one has come in the mail.  The other may have been purchased by somebody coming the shower and the one I received, by somebody not coming.  LOL  My shower is in two weeks, I would hate to wait that long to send a Thank You.

Call BRU, then ask around if that doesn't give you your answer.

Thanks for the advice.  I called BRU today, and they gave me an 800 number for the online orders.  I called the 800 number, and it should have been a 900 number because it was NOT babies r us!  Good thing I'm not the type to be offended, I just LMAO!  I called back and they said they should have given me 888 instead of 800 and they were SOOOOO sorry!  LOL

Anyway, they were able to look up the information easily with the 10-digit reference number on the shipping label.

 Thanks again ladies!

I would ask at your shower.  Also, put the word out to your host and close relatives/friends that you've received an "anonymous" gift.  Surely, someone will have mentioned it to someone else, and by getting the word out there, you should be able to find out.  If nothing else, once the shower is complete, you can go through your guest list, see who you hadn't received a gift from, and ask your mom/MIL to phone the people on the list who are their family members (so it doesn't seem like a gift grab by you, or it doesn't seem like you are pointing the "you didn't give me a gift" finger) and ask if they sent it.  Hopefully it doesn't come to this, as that would be worst case scenario.

Also, you could post on Facebook or other social networking sites, "Amber is wondering who the thoughtful person who sent the stroller from Babies R Us was!  I'd love to thank them, but there wasn't a name attached to the gift."

I would ask the hostess to follow-up with guests before or at the shower.  They might help you narrow down the possibilities and then you can investigate further.
