Vent about SIL shower registry

So I posted a bit ago how my SIL's baby shower is coming up, and I had some issues with some items on the registry...I bought 2 sleep sacks and a layette outfit off the registry, had it delivered to my house so I could wrap it all pretty and send it so she could open it at the shower, and one of the sleep sacks had a huge stain on it inside the package. I had to drive 45 minutes to the closest Buy Buy Baby and exchange it. Well, I was wrapping up the gifts yesterday to mail them out, and I noticed that the layette set (it was grey with little elephants on it) had "Daddy's Big Guy" on it...SHE IS HAVING A GIRL. It was ON her registry, but when you go to view it, you can't see/tell that that is on there...so I have less than a week to get this package to MD, I've already started wrapping things up, and now I'm sending her an incorrect gender specific item to her baby shower. WELL, I just checked her effing registry and darn if she didn't DELETE it from her registry! Are you kidding me?! She already knows someone bought it, because it had said "fulfilled" for awhile now...so I'm just mad and annoyed and I'm just saying screw it and sending it. I guess I'll just send her a message on FB or something, because I've had enough trouble with it and I don't feel like dealing with it anymore

(I posted this on PB last night, and I had to go back through this and edit all the curse words for TB haha!)

  • I'd send it. It was on her registry... You've already gone through enough. Send her an FB message or something, but beyond that - Let her take care of it!

  • Yeah, let her exchange it. She's probably going to be making that same trip anyway.

  • I agree with PP- send it out and let her exchange it. She'll be going to BBB again pllllennntttyyy of time before her LO arrives and it was her error, not yours! She'll probably like having the store credit anyways. Sorry to hear what a PIA this ordeal was!

  • Thanks ladies.  I just feel really weird about sending it, because even though it was HER mistake, MH and I are going to look like the weirdos when she opens her gift at her shower for her baby girl, and it says "Daddy's Big Guy" on it!  Haha, you know?  It's not like she's going to sit there and explain that she made the mistake and took it off the registry after someone already bought it, so I just don't want to look like a dummy.  I won't be there, but still, haha.
