Post Holiday Returns?

Hyaline · December 2012

OK, now that the unwrapping is over....what's going back? And what hilarious/weird/ugly crap did you get that can't be returned?

My SIL got DD the world's most hideous giant stuffed animal. That's going back for sure. (And by "back" I mean to the store, even though back to the pit in Hades it came from might be more apt.)

My family never understood the idea of keeping tags on or giving gift receipts, and DH's parents gave us cash, so we really don't return much over here.

A duplicate outfit, pair of socks, an outfit that's too small to be worn more then 1x.

My sister bought ds the wrong toy, but oh well.

My mom bought M diapers and wipes I know we will use them, but that could have been an "anytime-just-to-help-out" gift. She could have bought something fun, bright, loud, or something for her new granddaughter.

If we used disposables, I would've loved this. I would've loved receiving wipes now.

Maybe you can use the money you won't be spending on diapers/wipes in the near future and buy something fun, bright, or loud yourself?

My MIL bought DS a St. Patrick's Day tshirt to match the ones she bought his sisters. The prob? It's clearly a girl's cut tshirt... And it has SPARKLES on it. Going back to Carters to swap it for a boy shirt.

Nothing will be returned but FIL gave DH a sweater and razor that have both already been dropped off at Goodwill.

Bookelly · December 2012

We were lucky enough to get some great gifts this year. However, we will exchange a few 6 month outfits for the 9 month size at Carters, and there is one super creepy doll that will be donated to Goodwill. I feel like she's staring through me.

She also bought me latex gloves WTH?

I'm the opposite, love getting essentials. Diapers, wipes & formula is pretty much what I told everyone to get DS. We got 3 boxes of diapers, and 3 boxes of wipes. Might have to exchange some diaper sizes.

I only have small things to return. One thing is for my nephew, I bought the wrong size DS case. Unfortunately my sister opened it before realizing it so I might just keep it or donate it. According to Amazon's website I'd probably get 50% back plus it's $5 to ship it back. So I'd get like $3, not worth my time!

Supasm · December 2012

Nothing to return here. DD got some great thoughtful gifts. However, I did receive a box of rice cereal from my MIL who has been asking me since DD was 3 weeks old if I started feeding it to her yet. Yep, still not feeding her solids till she is 6 months.

EGMphoto · December 2012

Returned 4 fugly outfits for DD and a baby gym. We already have 2.

elizabethwig · December 2012

I'll be returning a fleece mini mouse costume thing DD got. It's hideous. I feel kinda bad about it cause my neice picked it out but blegh!

misscheapandchic · December 2012

My MIL bought us a bunch if crap. Two super creepy ornaments that I thought she made but apparently she actually paid money for them. She got Zeke a travel pillow that's for ages 7. For us she got toiletry items like gum, toothpaste, cheap bath products and a bunch of random wine knick knacks from the Christmas tree shop. I appreciate the gesture but feel horrible that most of it will end up tossed or given away.

Anita got another Bumbo and some hideous clothing that are going back. As far as funny/fugly stuff, my grandmother (who is losing her mind) decided that I needed "butt-warmers", because girls never wear panties that cover enough anymore. It was a package of brightly colored cotton granny panties that are about 5 sizes too big. They're now Anita's softest spit rags.

I also love getting essentials. I would have rather received those than the billion toys she got this year.

The only real dud I got this year was a pair of pajamas for DS in size 0 to 3 months. DS was born August 19, which made him over 4 months old at Christmas. Who thinks 0 to 3 month size clothing for a 4 month old baby is a good idea? The same person also bought my DD size 4 pajamas, and my DD is 4.5 years old and nearly grown out of size 4 clothing. I'd exchange the items but they're from the Disney Store and the nearest one is 90 minutes away.

Flamingemu · December 2012

We only return duplicates in our house. Our family asks for pictures of all outfits and other things once we set them up. I hate it, but my MIL comes to visit enough to ask where her gifts went. That and I am just thankful they gave us anything. We had a smaller gift giving year than normal and were just spoiled by our families.

(Not quoting) We got a bunch of gift cards and essentials so we were pretty lucky; I love essentials for gifts. Then I get to buy fun things myself.

jbBeans · December 2012

We also got a creepy stuffed doll. Flameworthy confession: I put it back under the tree unwrapped, hoping my dog will demolish it.
