Is this tacky?

in Babies: 0 - 3 Months

I got an email yesterday from my cousin in Missouri, (i'm in Jersey) titled, "Aubrey's Christmas Wish List" and it listed things "Aubrey" wants for xmas.  PS- Aubrey is 2 months old.

I think this is weird to send a mass email to people specifying what your 2month old wants for xmas.

Thoughts?

    i think it's tacky to just send it out to a bunch of people who never asked for it.  if someone asks, then i would send it

    but that's looking like you're gift grabbing, IMO to just do it to everyone you know.

    DH and I sent one to our parents because they were asking what Ava needs. I wouldn't send it to everyone, that is rude, imo.

    Exactly, if people ask what to get I tell them but if they don't ask, I don't mention it......my dd is 4 months old, she likes ANYTHING that lights up or makes noise.

    I don't know, it kinda depends on the situation.  I am making a list of things that Jack wants or I want for him because everyone wants to buy for him and they keep asking. 

    If that hasn't been established and she is establishing this, then that would be tacky.

    Very.  My SIL did this last year and included her & her husband's wanted items.  Uh, and they're in their mid-30s.

    I also make a list and/or send pics of things Ally might like to my inlaws and parents but again that's because THEY ASKED!!!  I never asked what her daughter wanted.  Our family isn't that big and we had 5 babies born this year so all of us cousins will be buying small things for the babies and that's about it.  But I already did my shopping and got her things that were of course NOT on the list.  Oh well, that's what she's getting.  She isn't going to know the difference if I got her a singing Winnie the Pooh playset instead of the Baby Einstein one that was ON THE LIST!

    I only send a list to people who ask, so yeah that's at least a bit odd, if not worse. When people have asked me I just tell them my registry is still valid and I created an amazon wishlist at my mother's request.
