My whole family was asking for ideas for LO's Christmas gifts. So, to make it easy, I made an Amazon wishlist of things he needs and would enjoy over the next few months.
My mom got several things off of it, including his new car seat and some fun toys. My ILs (who were the ones that asked!) didn't. They got him nice stuff (they are not the crazy kind of in laws that buy candy for a 2 month old, they know how to shop and buy great things), but not off his wishlist.
I am really grateful for all gifts, I swear, but why ask me if you are just going to go off your own ideas anyway? Were my suggestions not to your liking? I do love everything he got, so again, that isn't the issue... it's just I feel I wasted my time by trying to make things easier for them. Oh well.
Re: You know what I don't get?
That would be a tad annoying.
Maybe they looked at the list and found some "better" ideas. (I'm reaching here.) I'm glad everything will be of use to you though.

Yeah, probably. They are the kind that won't buy it if they don't like it, even if you want it. Every year, they ask me to see my Christmas list, yet buy things that they want anyway. Always super nice things, like a $300 Lenox nativity scene, but just not that I had on my list. I'm grateful, again, but WHY ask if you are going to go rogue?
(although this year, MIL hit it out of the park with a Burberry jacket from my Pinterest! Squeee!!)

LOL...she probably wanted to get him "fun" stuff.

That's what I'm trying to say. Oh well. Not a big deal in the scheme of things, just a general musing.

Story of my Christmas. DH got billions and billions of toys. And only one doesn't require batteries. ONE.
Funny thing is the noiseless toy (stacking cups) is his absolute favorite.He could care less about the giant annoying ball popping dinosaur or the damn cat that runs around the living room begging you to stomp on it mercilessly.
